I'm bumping up my usual 1750 list to an 1850 tourney list, and thought I'd put it out here for inspection and critique:

HQ: (330)

1. Vulkan (190)

2. Level 2 Libby w/Force maul and Shield Eternal (140)


No FOC: (220)

Command Squad w/Apothecary, melta x5, SS x2, Drop Pod (220)


Elites: (219)

Sternguard Squad x7 Marines, 2xHeavy Flamers, Drop Pod (219)


Troops: (701)

1.Scout Squad x6 Scouts w/Camo cloaks, sniper rifles, HB w/Hellfire, melta bombs (101)

2. 2x Tactical Squads w/Combi-melta/flamer, multimelta, flamer, drop pod (200 ea/400 total))

3. Tactical squad w/combi-weapon, multimelta, flamer, Rhino (200)


Fast Attack: (178)

Assault Squad x9 Marines w/Power Maul, 2xflamer, Drop Pod (178)


Heavy Support: (100)

Thunderfire Cannon (100)


Fortification: (100)

Aegis w/Quad Gun (100)


The idea is to drop the Command squad, the Libby with the Assault squad, and a Tactical squad the first turn, keep the T-fire cannon and Scouts behind the Aegis on a rear objective, and use Vulkan and the Sternguard as cleanup crew. Keep the two other Tac squads in reserve for late-game objective claiming and reinforcements.
I'm considering dropping the Rhino tac squad for a Stormraven for the Assault Squad to ride; I know I'm a little weak in air support, and that would shore up that area.
