Hey guys, I've got a new army list I'd like your opinion on. It's 500 on the button and its all about closing the gap with my enemy.

HQ:
Sanguinary Priest
-Bolt pistol, melta bombs
-Space marine bike

TROOPS:
Tactical squad
-Sergeant, marines x4
-Flamer
-Dedicated razorback w/ TL heavy bolter, dozer blade, search light, smoke launchers, overcharged engines

-Sergeant, marines x4
-Flamer
-Dedicated razorback w/ TL heavy bolter, dozer blade, search light, smoke launchers, overcharged engines

FAST ATTACK:
Bike squad
-Sergeant w/ combi flamer, marine biker x4 w/ flamer x2

overcharged engines come as standard on the tanks but can anyone confirm if the bikes get that too? and suggestions or tips welcome. the sanguinary priest would be attached to the bike squad giving them all the special rules including +1 WS

You're going to have issues with anything with a 2+ save or vehicles, but ideally you've agreed to restrictions to vehicle armor, flyers, and 2+ saves. Also, bikes do not utilize overcharged engines (they also use different rules than the vehicles).

I'd drop the sgt combi, and the two flamers and take 2 meltaguns on the bikes.

Yeah, I might change the kit on my bikes to make them a little more anti tank/heavy troop. in a 500 point army i cant see fliers being an issue as the army would be weak on the ground for it.

thanks for the suggestions guys
