I would go MSU on the tac squads in rhinos and swap the bikes out for Grav Centurions... that's a better unit to infiltrate IMO if you're looking for some grav punching power.

Waiting on TO to see if Legacies of Glory can be used.

I'm just concerned of not having enough to handle those nasty wave serpents and gunline armies.

War on Murder or something like that, IIRC.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Would tank hunter or monster hunter be better for it?

Also note, CAD only for this.

Monster for sure. 15 shots rerolling to wound. Solid.

Maybe razorbacks instead of rhinos? They will infiltrate with their tac squads and will add quite a punch with any weapon.

Monster hunter is great, especially if your meta has 'Nids, Demon Princes, Triptides, or Dreadknight spam. Other than Wave Serpents I don't think there are as many vehicles that are as troublesome.

Then I guess you have to decide if you have enough anti-armor to take them out. If not, then take armorbane.

That is why I'm considering infiltrating Sternguard with Combi-Meltas to take care of armor.

In that case. monster hunter is your best bet.

Then I am not sure if Legion of the Damned are needed. I will play around with the list.

I always like bikes. Or maybe something that can deal with assault units?

How effective would a single bike squad be though?

For 200 on the dot:

4 bikes: 2x Melta
Bike Sergeant: Power Weapon, Melta Bombs
Attack Bike: Multi Melta

Good for flanking armor units such as Land Raiders or Vindicators that get left in the open.

Leave off the Power Weapon. Bikers have no need to be in melee.

Thanks for the advice everyone! I will get a chance to play test this (with the bike) later today. Will let everyone know how it goes.

Played a nice Wave Serpent spam list with a touch of Wraithknights. He had some fancy Farseer on a bike that I couldn't kill.

Played Maelstrom and got beat on points pretty bad. Okay tactics, just really bad card draws.
