I am working on a 2000pt Mentors Space Marine army. I love the paint scheme and the fact that they aren't a popular chapter so I really get a feeling of uniqueness with them! Plus, not being a specific sub-chapter lets me try out all of the chapter tactics from time to time!

Currently, I am trying to run them with white scars tactics. I'm also trying to run them with no named characters since I don't want to be the 4th guy at my shop showing up with Khan; I like being my own chapter! Here is what I'm currently working with:

Chapter Master
-artificer armor, stormshield, thunderhammer, bike

TROOPS
10 man tac squad
-flamer, multimelta, combimelta, melta bomb sarg, rhino with doezer blade

Does it look fairly solid? Any glaring mistakes or improvements I should make?
It doesn't need to be 100% optimal, since I'm trying to be somewhat fluffy and not using special characters.

Well I would change the flamer and the melta bombs in the tac squads to a melta gun, works much better in synergy with your multi melta. Only big thing you have there.

Assuming storm talons have skyhamer right?

Looks pretty good, and I agree with ninjafiredragon.

I would consider dropping the fast bike squad in place of something else.. maybe give the chapter master the shield eternal and take a third TFC?

If you want to try something that is a bit more fun, you could always try out some forgeworld units... some of my favorites are the Fire Raptor and the Contemptor Mortis patter dreadnought with Kieres Assault Cannons.
