Not too much that can be tweaked at this point level.

I'd definitely grab a rhino for a tactical squad - gives you so much needed mobility and cover as you mentioned. The centurions should hang back and pick off whatever comes into LoS. Podding them would just make them vulnerable to assaults from dedicated CC units.

You actually can't drop pod the cent's either, they can only take a raider. so definitely go with the rhino!

I've recently played a 750 points tournament at the local GWS and used Imperial Fists with quite good results.

First up, terrain in 6th is awesome, just had to say that.

The tourny was a doubles tournament using Allied FOC.

That out of the way, here's what I used, 747 pts:

HQ
Lvl 1 Libby, always rolling on Biomancy, love that table

Elite
Vanilla Dread with Multi Melta and Heavy Flamer under the CCW, with Pod + Deathwind

Troops
5x Marine suicide squad with Combi Melta and Melta, with Pod + Deathwind
8x Marine objective grabber squad with Combi Plasma and Plasma, with Pod + Deathwind

Fast
Landspeeder with Heavy Flamer and Multi Melta

Heavy
5x Marines with 2x Plasma Cannons, and 1x Flakk Missile Launcher

I was allied with my mates Tau (which I understand goes some ways to explain why we were quite successful).

The pods gave me the tactical flexibility to be able to drop them empty, and act as LOS breakers and to drop pie plates in the enemy deployment zone. Ignore them at your peril. In saying that, the Dread always came down on turn 1, there was always something to pop.

The biggest mindset hurdle that I got over was not taking full squads of Marines; they just seem to work better (for me) as smaller squads, especially at this small points value.

My MVP was definitely my Librarian! I'll never go to war without him again!

Just thought I would share what has been quite a flexible and fun list at 750, both in the tournament, and in 1 on 1 games.
