Any way to tweak this list for a friendly "tournament" a few weekends from now with 3 friends, Orks, Eldar and CSM. Eternal War. We'll play 3 matches obviously on saturday, and then a 2v2 on sunday, best player and worst vs the 2 middle ones.

I dislike the storm talon on such low points. Since he may come too late and in 1000 points he is a big chunk of your points.
I'd also ditch the LC for relic blade if you can find the points even the Teeth of Tera are a good solutions.
Also grav as great as it is for low points is kind of mehh. Grav is great to kill wraith knights or other Gargs or mcs but against orks or even most of the stuff that csm brings ( spawns + cultists + maulerfiends) you can brake the maulerfiends but with this few gravs I'd would not bet on that 6.
Now if that Eldar bastard is using a Wraith knight on these points you will need to change your army you will need to add tigirius + grav centurions in a drop pod and show him the middle finger but since it is a friendly competition I hope you did not go this far.

Thanks for the response!

Eldar IS bringing a wraithknight. Its his house and snacks, so we wont complain. I dont have grav centurions unfortunately :(

What do you think dropping the storm talon and taking 2 whirlwinds (stripping the gl from the scout bikers for the extra 15 points)

Or perhaps 1 whirlwind and a teeth of terra for the captain, and then a Hyperios Air Defence Battery or 2 more scout bikers for the scout unit?

I prefer thunderfire cannon but whirlwinds still 2 whirlwinds i remember a formation with them supression force i think.
Know still you will have to ignore the wraith knight since you cannot kill him with 4 gravs and 2 combis. You got 3shots per grav which is 18 shots from the 2 sqads out of which 12 hits statistically and 8 wounds and he will save with fnp like 2 or3 and there you go your bikers are out of position for nothing.
I kind of dislike em in this set up.
Maybe drop the gravs and run them as scoaring unit of infantry or go tank hunter with meltas.
If you want post your models and we can put our heads together.

I actually have a lot of stuff, but not really anything that is very good.

I also have tau that I can ally I guess.

And some imperial guard soldiers, 2 chimeras and a leman russ.

I’d try to find points for AA for the captain. Do you have a bike lib?

Bikes are fine. I’d like to see some spare bodies to soak wounds to help preserve the grav.

Not sure if the AsC on the LSS is worth the points. Very fragile platform. Scouts should do OK.

I like scout bikes. If you need to shave points, dropping the two normal ones from the squad would probably be worth it.

Those are expensive speeders that need to be in close to work. I prefer TML/HB ones that can hang back and shoot. If you are going to charge in, I might go 2xMM. What you have should work, as it’s more flexible. But if you go up against a hard target, the cannon might just spang off while the MM hopes it doesn’t roll ones.

Do you expect other flyers? I like talons, but it is a chunk of your points. It’s a moderate high risk, with a reasonable reward. Just something to keep in mind.

One thing to keep in mind is formations. You have a lot of units that slot well into the new ones from the AoD book that just came out. (or were previously out in the Tau warzone book) Might be worth looking into.

I think the orc will bring a blitzbomba or what they are called, as he has few models. No eldar flier. Probably a Heldrake in CSM list.

After looking at the grenade launcher of the LSS, I ditched the assault cannon.
