What to add?
More free razorback spam w/ a command squad? (yay ebay time)
biker command squad with grav guns?
dreadnoughts "suck" but i could get 2 in here for more armor saturation and counter assault (with a little list editing)
I could add inquisition to the list for psychic powers & servo skulls
An assassin (I have all 4)

I am not a fan of grav cannons and guns on tactical marines. It limits them too much IMO, some may disagree but I don't want to do it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8502498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8502498.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8502630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8502630.page GMT
I do like the anti air defense formation, however, I do not think I will be able to acquire those and the additional models I proxied to round out the list. I will stick to my suppression force until I finish off my list.

I trialed my list with a command squad loaded with 5 melta guns and gave them one of my drop pods, then changed one of my tactical squads that had that drop pod to a razorback w/ assault cannon. It worked really well.

Had my buddy play (proxy mind you) a 5 knight list. I did very well against that. I know it isn't the most competitive list but it was a good trial to see if I could handle that kind of threat.

Played his grey knight/SM draigo star list and did well against that (by well I mean destroyed it, as that list struggles with armor saturation).

Played agains't a tyranid a couple days ago without the completed list. His army had a few flyrants, a dimacheoron (spelling?) and lots of other smaller bugs. That was a little closer. His flyrants went uncontested and chewed up a lot of my free razorbacks and I made 2 fairly sizable mistakes (learning to pilot the army). but still won.

I like how this list performs right now. I have yet to play against necrons, eldar, or tau with it... sooooo we will see haha. I have a buddy who recently put together a eldar bike spam and another buddy who has white scar bike spam to play next (it isn't fratricide as my army is painted to be exorcists)

I think the command squad is a good fit and gives me the flexibility to deal with armor that the army was struggling with before. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8503808.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8503808.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8503823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8503823.page GMT LOS blocking and creating hurdles. I may even forgo shooting with a razorback to flat out after my cent's shoot to cover them back up. With my Chaplin attached giving them ignore cover, they are not as reliant on a delivery method to negate cover saves.

It has worked so far. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8503876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/682628/8503876.page GMT
he finished in the top few of a major tournament recently. I strongly recommend it.
