This is supposed to be a showcase-armylist, aka one that doesnt spam any unit for competitive purposes and showcases a wide array of different units from the SM roster, but at the same time tries to be competitive. C&C appreciated:

Tactics: So the TFC Techmarine will reinforce a ruin and deploy in it, along with the Devastator squad, Tac Marines and Sniper Scouts (or at least as many as fit in that order). DPod will DS turn 1 next to a unit that is best fit to be victim for first blood; Bikers and Snipers will go after MCs, Bikers also against TEQ. Devastators will obviously take care of any and all armor and can take some casualties before their firepower begins to drop.

That sounds like a pretty good army list for 999 pts.

I'm just a newb, but I was looking for ideas for my Imperial Fists army (for mine I think I'm going to grab a speeder for my FA)

If you don't mind me asking, why scouts? Just for the sake of pt shaving?? (as stated, super new. Just browsing ideas)

Disregard: Just saw that they were to snipe MC xD

That and they look cool with their sniper rifles even if they barely do anything other than sit on an objective
