Hi

So this army was created for playing friends with 6th edition rules and codex's because we both really haven't had time to move up to 7th, yet we still love playing so we make do.

Any advice is welcome but be aware I only have about £20 for changes and upgrades.

HQ
Chaplain w/ jump pack - 105 pts
(to go with the assault squad)

Troops
Tactical squad x 10 - 155 pts
Gravgun
Rhino - 35 pts

Tactical squad x 10 - 145 pts
Flamer
Rhino - 35 pts

Fast Attack
Assault squad x 10 - 185 pts
Flamer
Veteran sergeant

Stormhawk Interceptor - 145 pts
Typhoon missile launcher

Land Speeder - 75 pts
Typhoon Missile launcher

Heavy Support
Preadator - 120 pts
Heavy Bolter sponsons
Twin linked lascannon

The extra models I do have are 5 of the old metal sternguard, 3 assault centurions, 5 terminators with one assault cannon, and a 3 man bike squad.

Thankfully this list doesn't have to be competitive as only really play against a friends eldar army but any advice that could help give me an edge would be massively welcomed.

Thanks

Not bad. I kind of feel like a list that size doesn't need two full-strength Tactical Squads, though.

Perhaps take some Scouts in place of the second Rhino squad; either bare-bones in a Land Speeder Storm for the Blinding/drive-by-shooting/objective-grabbing shenanigans to support your Assault Marines and free up your Tactical Squad for mid-field duties, or with Sniper Rifles and Camo Cloaks to anchor your lines and allow your Tactical Squad to advance freely.

That should free up some extra points for upgrades to the Assault Squad and Predator, to make them more focussed and specialised units. A Veteran Sergeant with a Power Sword is not a bad idea (though a Maul might be better against Eldar), and you might also consider upgrading to the Lascannon Sponsons on the Predator, to amplify its pew.

Thanks for the advice
