Aegis w/quad gun, this is unnecessary with 2 talons and the AA missile launchers, use the points to buy more troops.

What's the deal with the DA Librarian?
I second 1stof1's comment on the Aegis.

He gives 4++ and prescience to Centurions.
They become tougher to kill and massacre everything with a 4+ armor save or better, including vehicles.

But this requires to keep the enemy at arm's length. The enemy will either ignore them as they are rather slow or charge them asap.

I would use skyhammer on the Talons, drop the Aegis and quad and try to squeeze in a unit of sternguard with as many bodies as possible and no upgrades, bar melta bombs

1st Revision, changed the storm talons missles to the skyhammer, and got rid of the aegis, to add a combat squad with lasc, combiplas

Don't even waste time with the missile loadout for the Centurions. Just go moar dakka. Grav/Hurricane bolters is the best combo I've found.

I was going for something that extended the kill zone, if you only have hurricanes they can only put wounds on models out to 24", however even with one missle they can extend that kill zone to a 48" range of death.

You've undercosted your DA libby by 5pts.

Are you nuts? lol.

I don't have practical experience yet with Centurions, but if you're already paying 250 pts. for the Gravs, adding 3 more missile launchers for 30 points with no strings attached is an amazing deal. They also synch well with the grav cannons, as they'll kill MEQ/Bikers as well as vehicles, which are two of the things you'll be gunning for with the Grav Centurions. 3 MLs for 30 points is an awesome deal.
