So I have a tournament coming up on the 8th. This is the second draft of the anti-meta biker list I was thinking of running. Looking for ideas for improvement

No data slates, no escalation, no stronghold, no forgeworld BTW.

[Fast Attack]
+ Stormraven Funship [205]
- Fortitude, TwL Assault Cannon, TwL Multi-Melta, 4x Mindstrike Missiles

Total: 1850

So, the idea is: Coteaz helps me get that 1st turn alpha strike with gravs and TFCs. Meanwhile the Stormraven is there pretty much to feth over 2++ re-rollable armies since the Mind Strike missiles cause perils on psykers the template touches (GREAT for killing warlocks) and the banisher causes daemons to re-roll successful saves (like a reverse 5th ed Fateweaver).

The Death Cult Assassins and the Techmarine are counter-chargers.

Other than that, Taudar fear the 1st turn grav strike (riptides absolutely melt under gravs) and other marines generally can't handle the mobility.

Any ideas? In terms of weaknesses I think the anti-infantry is a bit light (TFCs really help).
