As a note I don't think 5 man tac squads can take a grav cannon and grav gun..

Otherwise it looks ok.

The stormlance is a good fun formation but you have a few issues here, the big ones are that including the stormlance as part of a medusa strike force or a scarblade strike force would be better the other is that you are very inefficient with your points.

1. If you're IH then you can keep the captain changing the primarchs wrath for gorgon's chain and a powerfist. If you're whitescars this guy MUST be Khan on Moondrakken. Way too good not to.

2. Veteran Sergeants are trash, +1 LD and +1A on a baseline SM is worthless. I would rather have an auspex or dozerblade 100% of the time.

3. Command squads should have at least 4 grav guns (remember that the Apoc CAN take special weapons) 2 SS are very good as well, mandatory in IH.

4. 10man tac squads are...meh so are baseline grav guns, you'd be better off slamming points into an auxillary formation or command choice like the Librarius (especially for IH) Pass on combi-grav, not worth.

So assuming you want to go WS and that you want to stick with the stormlance i suggest this list.

Stormlance

Khan on Moondrakken
3xTac Squads Rhino Grav Cannon
1xDev Squad 2xGrav Cannon
1XMM Attack Bike
1xCommand Squad 4grav 2SS 1 Mbomb 1PF
Speartip Strike
1x Land Speeder, Typhoon ML
2xBike Squad 5 man 2 grav guns

Command option
1x Chaplain Hunter's Eye Auspex

If you go with the regular gladius though you can get

1x Khan
1xChaplain Hunter's Eye
6xTac Squads Grav Cannon rhino
1xDev rhino 2x Grav Cannon
1xDev rhino 2xMM
2x bike squads 1 5man 2 Melta 1 4man 2 grav
3x Scout squads

@Erjack- Pretty sure he is wanting the stormlance for the Mobile firebase rule. It is brutal in objective games.

In a Stormlance keeping all grav could be handy if you don't combat squad, but it might pay off better to move the the gravguns to Grav-canons on the Devastators.
4 grav-cannon+amp Devs. while expensive, really really work with the the Mobile firebase since they are less effected by movement than most heavy weapons.

What CT will you be using? That will effect opinion on the command squad choice.

Storm lance can make marines get out and shoot then go back in to their rhinos right? if so then why are you not combat squading? get 3x10 marines with grav cannons (stay in the rhino and use the fire point) and then the other 5 use a melta to get out and then go back in. if you are playing white scars you need khan and you need hunters eye, passing up on both really makes your storm lance not hit as hard. the gladius is obviously is better than the storm lance but if he wants to go with the storm lance, IMO salamanders and white scars are the optimal choices.
