Space Marine Scout with Sniper Rifle





I have an upcoming tournament about a month away and I have been running slightly varied lists but mainly based around the same core.
It usually consists of:
A land raider transporting 4 honour guard with banner, chaplain and CM with SE, TH and AA. (I currently proxy the AOBR captain chaptermaster, and honour guard as foot assault marines but will need to make this wysiwyg for the tournament)
Usually a drop pod of 5-10 sternguard, mostly with combi meltas to try for first blood.
Standard troops, usually 2 tac squads and 5 man sniper scouts.
Thunderfire
Lascannon Predator.

The rest I have just mixed up from week to week at my gaming club.
So far I have won 7 games to 5 with small variations on the above list. But I really suffer and take the losses against opponents with flyers. A part of me is a bit stubborn and sort of refuses to take any because I hate the idea of fliers, but I am not stupid and I know they are a big threat to an opponent with no Anti flier. I also wouldn't like taking an aegis quad gun as it feels a bit of a cop out and I also have no experience with it anyway.

I will list all the models I own and I ask for a bit of advice with what can work together.

Chapter Master/ Captain
Jump pack Chaplain
Terminator Captain
Command squad. inc apoth, champion, banner and veterans.

10 Terminators.
10 sternguard (magnetized weapons)
3 Dreadnoughts, 2 AOBR MM and PF, 1 Missile/lascannon

10 Tac squad
10 Tac squad
10 Tac squad
2 Lascannons, 2 plasma cannons, 2 flamers, 2 missile launchers, 1 melta, 1 plasma.
10 Sniper scouts and Telion
5 Sniper scouts
5 combat blade and bp scouts

3 drop pods.

3 Attack bikes
10 Assault marines.

Thunderfirecannon
Land Raider
2 rhino hulls to use either as Predator, whirlwind or simply rhino.

Please give me some ideas of what I could run. I think i have even more models so if i remember them i will add them to the list.

Well, the best AA utility you've got without adding anything would be some Devastators using Red Hunters Chapter Tactics - once per game you could give them Skyfire if you wanted. It's not a great option but it's the only thing I see other than spending a crap ton of points on dumb flak missiles.

If you're not big on adding fliers , give the Stalker a try (proxy it with your extra rhino maybe?) Iys good because you can still fire at skimmers with it so it's not just useful for AA.
