I'm between 2 lists right now and would appreciate feedback in rounding them out.

Spoiler:

List 1 has the bonus of guaranteed air support turn 2 and an extra Attack Bike, but List 2 gives my command squad ignore cover and whatever psychic support I roll on (Probably either divination or Telepathy)

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729881.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729881.page GMT [1000] - Space Marines - My Half for a Doubles game http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729896.page GMT [1000] - Space Marines - My Half for a Doubles game

I like the first list better, but it really is a coin toss. Pros and cons to both.

Thank you for the feedback! If you don't mind, what about the first list did you like better?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729932.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729932.page GMT [1000] - Space Marines - My Half for a Doubles game
While the Hawk looks to be a nice flyer, so is the Talon. One perk with the Talon is the ability to hover. I find myself using that a lot, rather then flying off the table. So less guns, but they get to shoot them more. This is all theory hammer, as I don’t own a hawk. Yet.

The librarian is going to do very good things for the second list. Probably more then the formation bonus on the first list would do. I’m just not overly fond of them. It might just be that I feel they are overplayed in general. So my knee-jerk reaction is to do without. Entirely personal preference there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/694589/8729956.page GMT [1000] - Space Marines - My Half for a Doubles game

I didn't notice that the Hawk couldn't hover. It may not be the best pick for this list if I have to worry about it zooming off and not providing support to the guardsmen. The Librarian is the thing that hurts the most to leave out, but I feel like the only other way to get him in the list is to replace him with Kor'sarro, a move I'm not sure is worth it (losing scout for all bikes, invulnerable save, chance for ID in challenges)
