I'm trying to do a competive list for an upcoming tournament next month. Here's what i came up with:

main detatchement: white scars

HQ:
khan, moondrakkan
CM, bike, artificer armor, shield eternal, thunder hammer
command squad, bikes, apotechary, 4xSS, 4xgravgun

TROOPS:
5 bikes, 2xgravgun, combi-grav, MB
5 bikes, 2xgravgun, combi-grav, MB
5 bikes, 2xmeltagun, combi-melta, MB

HEAVY SUPPORT:
3 devastator centurions, 2xgravcannon, 1x TL lascannon, 3xmissiles, omniscope
stalker
stalker

UM allies:
Tigurius
5 scouts

Inquisitorial detatchement:
Coteaz

Total: 1850pts.

tigurius and coteaz hang out with centurions buffing them and the stalkers with presience and what other good powers they get. Khan and CM join the command squad to tank them and keep them alive longer. Coteaz is basically there to keep the opponent from seizing on me as this list really want's to go first. Any thoughts and improvement ideas are welcome!

So, that bad eh?

I don't think it's bad, in fact this list will do pretty well.

I think people are sort of getting worn out commenting on the same types of Space Marine lists that are appearing... the Khan bike list is good, you nailed that, and Tigurius with Centurions is good.. also nailed that; not much else to say.

Some minor things though I prefer is make all the centurions grav cannons rather than a lascannon, and drop the missiles for hurricane bolters (useful against hordes like orks, nids, and beast pack beasts) but keep just one missile in the chest to extend the kill range of the gravs, etc. That should free up points for more scouts or henchmen or something else cheap and scoring (or a transport maybe for the scouts). I also prefer hunters over stalkers, but that doesn't much matter... personal preference. It also might be worth while to drop the thunderhammer to a power fist and spend the 5 points on an auspex (-1 to cover will help the grav guns in the command squad).

Hope that helps.

I run a very similar list... ( lots of us do) so you are on the right track and it has some power.. that is for sure.

I assume you are doing the las in the cents for the split fire..

I would agree with the above that they need to all be grav... I would do that and change one of the bike units over to melta. Between your CCS and Centstar you have a crap ton of grav firepower. If you face a lot of armor... you would be surprised how often grav in a bike unit can fail to completely kill the armor... the extra melta will come in handy.
