Well, the troops are semi-protected in there razorbacks, who with there lascannons will not be venturing out into the middle of the board, but rather forming a giant gunline with the predators and TFC's. If you want to try and pop the razorbacks to kill the tacs inside you'll need to be ignoring the real power pieces of the gunline. If you fail, and the list basically plans on it, the razorbacks can eventually flat out to grab last minute objectives. The flyers are anti-flyer, anti-horde, anti-if you don't have dedicated AA 4 stormtalons with 7 shots a piece are going to rock you.

One weakness would be drop podded sternguard with melta, they could pop the razorbacks, decimate the tacs and I'd be SoL at that point for scoring. Though I would probably go on to table them. I don't think this list is great against everything, but if you have a decent read on your local metagame it could perform incredibly well.

Not to mention that IH is giving all the vehicles and HQ's It WIll Not Die as well as FnP to the ground units. The CT give them some much needed durability.

Bikes would suck, no denying it, I think the stormtalons would be a huge problem for them though, especially if they didn't have there own.

Purposely don't have a lot of troops, the list is attacking at a very specific angle. The TFC's have a techmarine gunner automatically. Where in the rulebook does it say you can't run two combined arms detachments?

Possible, but it's not as though the list lacks firepower, and I'd like to keep him inside the razorback to combine with It Will Not Die to make it difficult to destroy, giving one of my ObSec units a lot of lasting power; and thus if he is inside the razorback, which doesn't have any fire access points, the beamer would be wasted.

I agree it's a really cool gun, although I think the second mode on it should be str 8 ap 3, that ap 4 is what really kills it for me. Obviously the str 10 ap 1 is amazing, but with a minimum range requirement of 48 inches, your opponent can move all his guys in a little and shut it off, and with most of his shots clocking in at str 8 ap 4, thus no longer bypassing meq armor saves, the 20 points is kinda wasted in my opinon, also considering how truly badass the servo harness is for free, flamer, plasma pistol, and essentially 2 dreadnought claws is insane.

That's a good call.
