The new Kastelan Robots would do alright
18 str6 AP3 shots that if they wound reduce cover saves for other troops firing at them
T7 3+ save with possible FNP and 2+ save to eat wounds would stand up a little better to str6 spam than most things.

Wraithguard DSing will eat them though.

Warlocks can never have Guide.
Also, you may as well make a list of things that handle Tactical Marines. Their defensive profile is the same.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Yes, tactical marines that can hang out at 36" inches, jink, and flee 36" if they get in serious trouble. Exactly like every marine tactical squad I've ever faced...

For that many points, i'd hope they kill jetbikes well.
That unit, will get 13.5 hits, 11.25 wounds, 5.6 after jink saves (assuming they're the first unit to fire). Which is...ok I guess.
Oh, and the jetbikes outrange them once you take into account Jetbikes moves.

Same faction. Since they're meant to be bubble-wrap, I don't count keeping them not gone to ground that critical. If it really matters you could order them to get back up, but when you have a super heavy with 20 fire points... might as well keep the las cannons on the inside, no?
