My two main questions would be;
1. Do I have enough scoring potential in my troops choices?
2. Am I lacking AT and should I swap the Riptides, SMS for the FB?

Thanks in advance for any help

that looks really nice for a 750p list,
4 scoring units should be plenty at this point level, youll just want to keep them in cover as much as possible

a lot of people think the fusion blaster on the riptide,
but as far I my experience, I never have my riptide close enough to utilize it... if your riptide gets that close you have to worry about CC

Thanks Kon,

I'll leave it how it is for now. First up is a Raven Guard army so I have a feeling I'll be rushed early with Van Vets. Just hope I can put enough pain out to blunt the assault.
