1) you have a lot of points in HQ for this points level. If you want a repairing HQ try beefing up a master of the forge. I don't like Technarines because they have 1 wound. I'd drop the Techmarine and just take the librarian. Don't bother repairing the razorback because it will bet one-shorted rather than glanced to death.

2) you want your tac squad load-outs to match range and purpose. Take plasma/combi plasma or melta/combi melta. Forget flamers at this points level, you can bolter or tank shock infantry off objectives. Also vet sgt is a waste of points bc they can easily get challenged out or you will want to fail morale and run so you can bolter again on your turn (you auto rally); save the points.

3) what is the mindforge staff? Is your plan to use him as a ranged buffing unit (i.e. Telepathy), or a close combat beast (i.e. Biomancy)?

4) The TFC is great.

Here's something to try:

Librarian - lvl 2, force axe
Tac Squad - 5x bolter, melta, combi-melta, rhino
Tac Squad - 10x bolter, lascannon, razorback w/lascannons
TFC

Libby with Biomancy or telepathy goes with the rhino squad and combat squad the tac marines with the razorback so that bolter marines are in the transport and the lascannon and 5 sit in cover and snipe. The twin linked assault cannons would be good too on the razorback in this points level, but I like the lascannon redundancy.

Lemme know what you think.

Thanks for the advice;
1) I was trying out a more "fluffy" list, having the techmarine there to lead a tac squad. It was mostly cause I play the Clan rules and rarely take techmarines. Just felt I should try it out.

2) That's a good point, I forget about the auto-rally stuff. So those are points I'll defiantly be saving next time out.

3) The Mindforge is a relic Sx2 AP2 Unwieldy, Concussive, Force & Melee (if you wanted stats). He is in there for close combat, I took him with Pryomancy but was seriously considering biomancy for him.

Any thoughts on list B? I'm thinking it might be a little light on men or heavy on the old tanks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585470/6646053.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585470/6646053.page GMT tac squad that wants to press an objective. Also, I don't like heavy weapons on the razorback squads because you can't shoot out and when you disembark you will be snapping..
