Here is the current IF list, it's battle tested and performs very well, it really takes advantage of bolter drill and tank hunters. But recently I've felt that having a little more anti-tank would be a good thing, and there is room to build it in, by dropping either the aegis defense line and the storm shield on the captain (which is kind of a waste anyways since he's shooty and has iron halo), or the attack bike squadron, I can turn my captain into a chapter master picking up orbital bombardment, and add a combi-melta and melta bomb to each of the bike squads. The question is, do I need to make the change in the first place, and if so, drop the attack bike squad or the aegis defense line, if I drop the ADL do my devastators suffer too greatly?

Seems like a waste to out the lascannons on the quad gun, seeing as they lose the good shots from the lascannons to snap shooting.. But maybe not if they use the quad gun just to intercept?

The quad gun is manned by one of the sergeants from the devastator squads as a just-in-case tactic, the quad itself isn't necessarily needed, I could certainly drop just the gun and the shield and pick up a few nice things.

I think I figured it out, I cut the quad gun, the storm shield, and one attack bike and come up with this:

The 2 plain Heavy bolter bikes seem a waste. I would drop them to make the chapter master into a smashf*cker.

Looks quite good. I do prefer combi grav on my bike Sargents, but its more of a preference.
