Comes out to 1850 points on the nose. My idea is to stick the Commander with the plasma rifle Crisis team to jump around with tons of drones and shoot stuff. The missile team is anti-air and close range mobile support. I will combat squad the walking marines, one squad with a fire warrior squad in support. The rhino squad marines will move up to contest objectives as needed. Pathfinders will do pathfinder things with shiny shiny markerlights. Hammerheads will sit in the backfield and snipe tanks. The Sternguard in the drop pod are basically a response unit for whenever they come on. The librarian I'm not sure about, I could drop a marine from the Rhino squad and stick him in there, or I can stick him in the Sternguard drop pod to help there.

I went with Iron Hands for the 6+ FNP, but I'm definitely open to suggestions on that. I thought about Imperial Fists, but they don't affect Sternguard special ammo.

These are most of the models I have, I also have:

Space Marine Predator x1, Land Raider x1, Stormtalon Gunship x1, 2 dakka dreadnaughts and a Venerable dreadnaught, a scout team with a speeder, and many many tacticals.
Tau Sniper Drone Teams x4 and Stealth Suits x2 with many many Fire Warriors

Any thoughts on how I have these set up or on the tactics? It's not really a static gunline, I have the mobility of the crisis teams, the Rhino squad and the Sternguard coming in to keep the opponent on their toes, but I don't really know for sure if that will work or not.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

I tweaked the list up a little. I forgot about no re-rolling a reroll, so the TL on the Commander and the first Crisis team is replaced with a second Plasma Rifle. 6 TL Plasma Rifles that ignore cover! I had to drop a single Sternguard Veteran and tweak the Fire Warrior and Pathfinder teams to make up the points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585068/6637506.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585068/6637506.page GMT
