**The Shrike**

For 2k with no transports, I don't think this is enough marines. If you're going to body bomb people, you need to really commit. At 2k this means 80+ MEQ bodies at least.

In addition, Sternguard are best in drop pods. You would immeasurably improve their efficiency (even with Ravenguard CT) if you podded them in T1.

Also, Vanguard vets? There are so many better options. You've left out some of the best units in the codex: Storm Talons, Thunderfire Cannons, Grav Centurions, Ironclads, Storm Ravens....all of these are better choices than Vanguard Vets.

Ditto Assault Marines. They're just not good enough unless you're a Blood Angels player and they're scoring.

You know what's better than a Stalker for AA? A flier or two of your own.

Well I normaly run a Gunline with a strike force, The Jump Troops.

That is an option I have been playing with.

For Fluffy mostly.

Have none of the above mostly.

I could drop the Assualt squad for a Storm Raven I gues.
