Hello, just wondering if this would be a good starter list for 1000 pts. Also, it seems pretty expensive cash-wise as well LOL.

The HQ is for shooting and repairing vehicles, the tactical squads are for objectives/MCs, the scout squad/landspeeder is for objectives/hordes, Dreadnought is for armor/deepstriking whenever necessary, and the stormraven is the anti-flyer.

Howdy. How are your bikes troops?

Heya, if you're wondering if I have the bike models, nope I haven't gotten them yet. I'm hoping to have people pick apart my list before I spend any money.

I don't have my codex on me, but I'm pretty sure it has to be a captain or chapter master on a bike to mike bike squads troops

Yeah that's what I meant. Sorry should have made it clearer.

Please just list the squad title, any upgrades and total cost of each unit.

eg: 10 man tactical squad with flamer, heavy bolter, rhino: 190

It makes it easier for people to understand what is in your army, it is also against forum rules to post every specific rule and individual points cost.

You are correct, only if you have a captain or chapter master can you use the mounted assault rule to use bike squads as troops.

Oops thanks for info. Back to drawing board.

Your mof is 150 pts, you could easily kit out a decent captain on a bike for that. Then your bikes would be troops. No biggie.

Ok, hopefully this list is legal and I'm following the forum rules. Thanks again for all your help.

I am not an SM expert by any means (I prefer my marines twisted and spiky thank you) but I wouldn't personally give the scouts in the land speeder sniper rifles.

If the vehicle moves, they will be snap firing.

Unless you plan for the scouts and speeder to operate independantly?

The landspeeder is a fast veichle fyi + opentoped.

Snipers are heavy 1 so will be snap firing. give the squads either shotguns or Pistol/CC weapon.

A captain or CM with a bike do indeed make bike squads troops, but only if the squads size is 5 or more.
