The chaptermaster and command squad with t5 and a 3+fnp (2+ on CM+Ethernal warrior) should be very durable

Havent had a chance to test this in a battle yet, but used variant of this list and it worked quite good. option is to have the command squad and chaptermaster in a razorback, but the bikestar looks promising ( gonna take some hefty converting to get it WYSIWYG)
could also downgrade chaptermaster to captain and get a 3rd vindi instead of the vanilla pred.
The techmarine will go with the devestators or where hes needed to supply the 12inch +1FNP 'aura' and bolster the devs position.
Thoughts? and yes, lib conclave would be nice, but i dont have the modles to get a libby or two on a bike. now i could mabe squeez them into the tack squads if i reduce their numbers and put them in razorbacks.

The real point of running the fist of medusa strike force is to run multiple IC to give all the extra bodies the extra FNP making it a 5 plus, they ave to be within 12" of an IC to get that. overall though still have a ton of tools to deal with a wide range of threats!

i know i should have more IC, but. hard to fit them inn. dont know what to take to get more. lib conclave would be nice, but dont have the models for that :(
