Before I get into the list I would like to say that I know that a suited up captain and command squad would fit best in the Iron Hands detachment, but I am really trying to avoid this route and go with their other strength being vehicles. Thus being said onto the list.

So plan of attack is to attach the captain and the techmarine in the bikes as bodyguards and give out PotMS to the vehicles while they go 12in. Will be playing ITC missions for this so I wanted to be mobile and I think the Stormlance would be good for this.

I fail to see why the chaplain is included would it not be better to make the captain in the stormlance with troops inside transports they should keep up just fine. with the points saved the rhinos could be upgraded to razorbacks adding some nice firepower to the list as you can disembark and re-embark the tactical squads they would benefit greatly from this. Maybe could use the contemptor as an ironclad as you keep your armour 13 and a melta this would give you points to give the razors assault cannons or twin linked plasma + lascannon (id go with the assault cannon so you can move 12 inches with POTMS and fire at full BS)

Not sure why I never thought of just using the Captain instead of the Chaplain! Sometimes a outside source can help! Thanks! I'll make some changes and repost it.

I feel the chain is to expensive for what I want him to do.
