Hullo!

Altough I like your list in general, there are couple of things that don't convince me.

1) Your only dedicated anti-tank is 3 Meltas on Bikes, giving you a max range of 24".
They are relatively easy to kill and even easier to avoid.

You could put Lascannons on the Razorbacks or replace the Baal Predator with a tri-Las Predator.


2) I don't like Power Fists on Tactical Squads. You should anyway have squads that can hold mid/backfield objectives for you so using 75 points to give all of the squads cc competency isn't going to be worth it.
Also, they don't work well with Plasma weaponry (the chance to kill off that important PF + no charge after rapid fire Plasma).

Maybe you could have two squads with Plasma Gun/Plasma Cannon & combi-Plasma for fire support/objective holding and one squad with Heavy flamer and cc-equipment on Sarge?

That's how I would propably do it.

3) While Sanguinor is a decent combat character, I imagine your army would benefit far more of Sanguinary Priest with the Sanguinary Guard.
He would make them durable as heck, drawing the fire off of your other squads and giving you more board control.

Hope that helped!



EDIT;

Oh, and Storm Bolters on tanks don't usually improve their damage output.

The Sanguinor is pretty crap honestly. His extra attack ability seems good, but for 200 points his weapon is str user ap 3. Ouch. Only a good grab if your meta lacks 2+ saves, you're probably better off paying the 20 points for Dante or the cheaper, more buff focused priest.

Seconded on the fists for sergeants, make it just a power weapon.

The baal predator I find is pretty useless because for 140 points you get a little more than a razorback in terms of firepower, and rarely you'll make your points back. I'd suggest a vindicator, more bikes, or death co.

Good, cool list though.
