Mucking about with the new codex and I can't help but feel like bikes are the way to go in the new book. So here's an 1850 list I'm batting around.


HQ:
Chapter Master 250
Bike, Shield of the Eternal, Thunder Hammer, Artificer Armor


ELITE:
Sternguard Veterans (5) 205
2 Combi-Meltas, 2 Combi-Flamers, Sgt. w/ Combi-Melta
Drop Pod


TROOPS:
Bike Squad (5) 200
Attack Bike w/ Multimelta, 2 Grav-Guns, Sgt. w/ Combi-Melta

Bike Squad (5) 200
Attack Bike w/ Multimelta, 2 Grav-Guns, Sgt. w/ Combi-Melta

Tactical Squad (10) 210
Flamer, Lascannon, Sgt. w/ Combi-Flamer
Rhino

Tactical Squad (10) 210
Flamer, Lascannon, Sgt. w/ Combi-Flamer
Rhino

Tactical Squad (5) 100
Lascannon, Sgt. w/ Combi-Flamer


HEAVY:
Stormraven 200
TL Lascannon, TL Multimelta

Thunderfire Cannon 100

Thunderfire Cannon 100


FORT:
Skyshield Landing Pad 75


TOTAL: 1850


The idea is the thunderfires sit on top of the landing pad protected by 4++. Rhinos hide behind the legs of the skyshield for a 3+ cover, hopefully not being easy first-turn targets. 2 Techmarines means I can bolster 2 pieces of terrain and then I have 2 bike squads rushing forward turn 1 as well as a drop pod coming down filled with sternguard capable of flaming a unit of infantry or taking out a vehicle.
