The planes not doing much for you. Fair amount of points that could be better spent elsewhere. Kind of have a similar feel with the rest of the HS units. The lascannons are unlikely to kill anything in one burst, probably just a hullpoint a turn. Need a bit more density of them. For a similar price could get a Tri-las predator.

I prefer to leave sergeants bare on the assault squads, not particularly durable or choppy and their kits expensive. So I'd loose the swords and put in another flamer. Also not sold on two vanguard squads, its expensive. Could just go with one to roll with shrike then a bike command squad to go with the chpater master, and I'd get a hammer on him.

Land speeder storms could be something to consider for your small scout units as well. Overall haven't got much in the way of anti-tank, so could kit them out with combi and multi meltas.

Made some changes. Going with the combo of Shadow Captain Korvydae & a Captain on a bike. This allows me to have tons of Troops. The Scouts, Biker and even the ASM count as Troops (even though they are listed as FA). Thoughts this time around?

Only one of the assault squads can be troops as you already have 5, overall its kinda the same, slight rejig of the bikers and HQ plus a speeder. For a single speeder I'd go dual MM, its a gamble but one AssC speeder wont do much ever. And I do think you want an ap2 CCW on the captain/master.

Since I have 6 Troops at the moment between the Bikes, Scouts and ASM maybe I'll drop a Scout squad. That will free me up points for what you suggested with the other units.

What type of "rejig" would you suggest on the bikers?

Replacing the Relic Blade with a TH or maybe The Burning Blade?

I only have a single Land Speeder at the moment so switching it to a dual MM setup is what I'd switch to.

Time to rework the list and see where I land with points.

Hammers fine, for the bikers I'd look to switch one to be a bike command squad to go with the captain. Apothecary and a few storm shields and they'll last a lot longer. Melta bombs can also be reasonable if you have points.
