I posted this list in my thread over in tactics:

1850pts Battleforged

Primary Detachment - Clan Raukaan CAD:
HQ
Master of the Forge w. the ironstone
3 servitors

Troops
5 marines in infernum pattern razorback
5 marines in infernum pattern razorback
5 marines in infernum pattern razorback

Heavy Support
Land Raider Achilles
3x Hyperios Tarantulas
Sicaran Battle Tank w. Lascannons and Schism of Mars

Lord of War
Typhon w. lascannons and ceramite

Allied Detachment - Dark Angels:
HQ
Librarian w. PFG

Troops
5 marines in infernum pattern razorback

1845 (I think).
Thoughts? Improvements?

Give someone a meltabomb to top off at 1850... Or a flamer.

Any other comments/criticism?
(That is a helpful suggestion, though.)

those razorbacks are pretty costly... sure you wanna stick with that? where does your librarian go, with the MOTF in Achilles? Do you ~really~ need to cheese with the Typhon when you have an Iron Hands Raukann Everliving Achilles? It's all tough as nails, no doubt, but flyer-heavy could hurt, like necs, even with triple hyperios turrets. Perhaps drop the typhon+hyperios and stick your MOTF in a Stormraven=flying tank, or you could keep your Heavy Support the same, take a Caestus in Fast Attack, and fly around blasting gak with the magna melta, then ramming anything that is left over, vehicle-wise. Personally I'd have to take a Fire Raptor, because I love their look, and take a the Legacy that gives Skyfire+Interceptor+Night-Vision+Tank Hunter (Battle for the Phall system?) for a turn, and something else I believe, on the Sicaran as a nice AA boost.

Things to consider, but with the PFG your vehicles are definitely not dying, perhaps even trying to give a Techmarine to 1-3 of your squads since you can take that many with Raukaan MOTF.

The plan with flyers is to hit them with snap shots, as I can decimate any non-flying units pretty effectively.
The plan is to put the MOTF with the servitors and the libby in the achilles, and then basically nothing will die, because all the vehicles will sit within 3" of the achilles, barring the razorbacks when they have to peg it to an objective.
Crons are generally a hard counter to me anyway, but hopefully I can draw out their infantry models from the flyers, as they need to do something to my vehicles beyond S7 spam.
Why do you feel that legacy is better than non-stop tank hunters on the Sicaran? One turn of awesome hardly seems worth it.
