Hi guys and girls, Id like to hear your thoughts about the following list.

The idea is that it's quite mobile with nearly everyone either in vehicles or with a bike or jump pack. The stalkers with the librarian and the dread form a rear firebase. There are also lots of TL lacannons!

The one ajustment I'm considering is to serously trim down the upgrades (frag cannons, heavy bolters, Black Shield) to add in more bodies.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!


Anyway here's the list :

CAD 2000 points

HQ

- Watch Captain with artificier armour, xenophase blade, jump pack, melta bomb (160)
- Librarian (70)

Elites

- Venerable dread with TL lascannon, missile launcher (150)
- 5 vanguard veterans with 2 x 2 lightning claws, 3 power swords, 3 storm shields

Troops

- 6 veterans with 2 storm shields, 1 frag cannon (177)
- Razorback with TL lascannon (55)
- 6 veterans with 2 storm shields, 1 frag cannon (177)
- Razorback with TL lascannon (55)
- 5 veterans with 2 frag cannons, 1 black shield, 1 power sword (190) These guys go in the Land Raider!
- 5 veterans with 3 stalkers, 2 heavy bolters, 2 hellfire rounds (155)

Fast attack

- 5 bikers with 5 power axes (175)

Heavy support

- Land raider with multi melta (260)

Allied detachment

- Culexus assassin (145)


edit: I just tried taking out all the frag cannons, the heavy bolters (replaced by stalkers), and the black shield which gives me 150 points spare. That's enough to add in another stalker squad or another assassin, but I wonder if I'm just neutering the effectiveness of my squads...

In my limited experience the Black Shield is best equipped with either a Thunder Hammer or a pair of Lightning Claws since you want to charge either a big infantry unit or a vehicle in order to double your attacks. Another small thing is that the unit in Land Raider doesn't get a kitted out Sergeant which could boost it's effectiveness a bit. Other than that it seems pretty solid to me.
