I'm not sure what costs more, the price of the models or the price of all the rulebooks/codexes you will be referencing!

Has a very nice "Imperial Army" feel to it! A little bit of everything. Strategy seems solid enough.

Imperial Guard:
HQ:
CCS, MoO- 80pts

Troops:
Veteran Squad, 3x Meltagun, demolitions (1 demo charge, 10x meltabombs)- 130pts
Veteran Squad, 3x Meltagun- 100pts

In the Vendetta? If you're going airborne I'd strongly consider the plasmaguns instead, maybe with demolitions doctrine for versatility and anti-MC hilarity.

Infantry Platoon: PCS, 2x Infantry Squad- 130pts

Elites:
Guardsman Marbo- 65pts

Meh. You'd be better off investing in heavy weapons for the platoon.
Fast Attack:
Vendetta Gunship- 130pts
Vendetta Gunship- 130pts

Heavy Support:
3x Basilisks- 375pts
Manticore Rocket Launcher- 160pts

----------------------------------
Space Marine Allies:
HQ: Librarian- 65pts

Troops:
Scout Squad, 4x Sniper rifle, Sergeant Telion, Camo cloaks- 119pts

Its a lot of points for something that's pretty mediocre at best. Being able to snipe out the odd heavy weapon a turn, maybe is not worth 180+ points. The Librarian and the rest of the Scouts just don't fit into this list as at all, you already have the home objective campers and the Libby offers nothing truly useful.

-------------------------------
Inquisitors:
HQ:
Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, 3x Servo Skulls- 34pts

Psyker upgrade is a no brainer here.
--------------------------------
Imperial Knights
Knight Errant- 370pts

-------------------------------
Fortification:
ADL + Quad Gun- 100pts


Total: 1988

So the plan is to hide the Heavy support in the back bubble wrapped in the platoon and behind the aegis defense line. The sniper scouts and sergeant telion will be next to the quad gun to make use of telions precision fire and BS6. The inquisitor will sit back and use his servo skulls to either defend against deep strikers or used as targeting for the enemies deployment. The veterans will pile into the vendettas and will be used to take out AV while the vendettas shoot at fliers and AV on ground. The knight errant will be used to rush the enemy lines and take out whatever the biggest threat is with its large melta blast and str D weapon.

So, what do you guys think?

Edit: Sergeant Telion can also use his precision fire to take out melta models near the knight.

Get psyker for your inquisitor. For 30 points you can cast presence on the basilisk.

You may be right Ryan, I think the rule twin linked for templates allows you to re-roll any results you are not happy with but presence doesn't allow you to re-roll scatter just like it doesn't allow you to re-roll failed to wounds with flamer/template weapons. I would have to double check the rules.

Pg. 33, under Blast Weapons and Re-rolls:

If a model has the ability to re-roll its to hit and chooses to do so after firing a blast weapon, the player must re-roll both the scatter dice and the 2D6.

So yes, Prescience allows your artillery to re-roll to hit attempts for each shot. That's why taking the Psyker upgrade is a no brainer, and why with the Servo Skulls it becomes filthy.

Due to presence, you have the option to re-roll your to hits, so you can re-roll the whole result of the scatter die and 2d6 if you are not happy. To my understanding, if you shoot a template, it scatters and only hits 1 person and you are not happy with that, you could still re-roll it since you have the option. There are no predetermined conditions to qualify when and when you can't re-roll.

You really need to figure out how to get Legion of the Damned in there to round out the entire option of the FOC. I love this list.

What Chapter Tactics are you using with the Space Marines?
