So this isn't an optimized list, but it's what I own...

Gladius detachment
(90) Gravis Captain with artificer armor
(70) Combi-weapon lieutenant
(55) Techmarine
(100) 3 bolter aggressors who go with the captain
(165) 3 Devastator Centurions
(90) 5 JPI
(80) 5 Intercessors
(70) 5 Scouts
(110) 5 Hellblasters
(110) 5 Hellblasters
(100) 3 Eradicators
(100) 3 Eradicators
(120) 3 Plasma inceptors
(60) Invader ATV
(60) Invader ATV
(185) Vindicator
(285) Land raider redeemer
(150) Storm speeder thunderstrike

Tactics:
The centurions start in the land raider, so turn 1 they can get pretty much anywhere and cut any angle, which spooks a lot of opponents into deploying conservatively and usually something can still get hit. As the centurions get out, the captain-with-aggressors often get in, staged to push up.
The thunderstrike is at its best boosting the eradicators (or centurions), who really appreciate the +1 to wound but don't want oath.
Some eradicators and the inceptors start in reserve.
The sheer number of units available to screen (and the inceptors) means opponents have a tough time inserting their reserves usefully, especially rapid ingress reserves.
The hellblasters are usually committed early against shooting lists, their shoot-on-death making them good trade pieces.
The techmarine boosts the vindicator when it can, and is a decent action monkey.

Part of the plan is to have active play during my opponent's turn. Hellblasters shoot on death, ATVs can shoot if you fail to kill them, the redeemer can overwatch, the lieutenant has a reactive move, and the detachment comes with both a fight-on-death strat for the aggressors (and once epically the techmarine in the late game to protect my home objective) and a reactive move strat.

I'm trying to decide whether to drop the thunderstrike(150) for:
- Scouts (70)
- Invader ATV (60)
- Honor Vehement enhancement on the techmarine (15)

Or any suggestions for a purchase that would improve the list? I really want that enhancement on the techmarine. The potential for 9 S8 AP2 D2 attacks plus 3 S10 AP2 D3 attacks is a LOT for 70 points.
