Basically Im playing against alot of tau and eldar armies with meta lists and im trying to bring alot of firepower and a variety of "high value" units aka bikes, stormtalon, stormravens, predators, terminators, and the land raider. I also plan to split my tactical squads up for objective purposes if I need to. Anyone have any tips or suggestions or things i may be leaving out.

I'm not gunna lie....
This is somewhat hard to read and I'm not sure if you are going for 1500pts or 2500pts as you have two listed. The couple of changes I would make are with your CM and Tacticals. Your CM should be on a bike to make it harder to wound him being as he already has 4 wounds...making him T5 with IWND makes him even more a pain in the ass (plus your bikes are now scoring). Your tacticals are built for two rolls...while spliting them up to combat squad them I would wonder how long it will take for the Melta to get into range of its target before getting shot up? Just some thoughts.

Mr Raynor

I would normally put a bike on the CM but i was planning on attaching him to the terminators and i think 2+/3++/6+++ with no instant death and 4 wounds on him will suffice . And as far as rushing my tacticals across the board to objectives, i have the two stormravens and the land raider *i am not starting the terminators in it, i just wanted it on the field for a tac-squad.

Also thanks for telling me about my list being squished, i didnt realise it was so i fixed it as well as the points 2496 ***

*Gotta love the Iron Hands for that 6+ feel no pain too, it always seems to help at the most random of times

Love the Iron Hands (damn that betrayer Fulgrim!) but I wish the army they could field was just a bit more unique. A Mechanicum army to ally with would be so cool...

That is much easier to read! Thank you
Still there are those couple of things I'm worried about. At 2500pts your opponents are going to have Wave Serpents galoure or Crisis Suits out the ass. So with one squad tacticals footin it across the broad...I don't see them surviving very long. Also, the other three in their rather expensive transports (Land Raider/Stormravens)...going up against these two armies will cut them dry out of the sky. Yes, if this plan works it will work in your favor but if it fails you will fill it very heavily. As for your CM, I see it is very tempting to put him with Terminators but, you do not have TH/SS's, they wont be able to DS, and no sweeping advance. If I were you I would put TH/SS's and start them in the LR for Assault down the road...then again that would leave another tactical squad out in the open. Some points I wanted to throw at you as I have had some of these problems in the past.
