ah, thanks msguardsman. the scouts are awesome models! i've recently been inspired by
the phantoms [from the B&C forums], scroll down a bit to see the awesome sniper scouts.
as for expansion, erus, i might have trouble. this list is extremely confined [as are all my other lists for the chapter, because of flesh/steel] due to the fact that flesh over steel requires that my transports [the three rhinos] count as fast attack.
thus, the list looks like this:
HQ:
-techmarine
-brother-captain; command squad
ELITES:
-ven dread
-techmarine+rhino
TROOPS:
-scout squad
-scout squad
-tac squad+rhino
HEAVY:
-dev squad+rhino
-dread
-dread
fast:
-[rhino]
-[rhino]
-[rhino]
as you can see, any choices i add have to fit as one of three troops choices, or as one elites choice, with no extra transports [which is sort of fitting, due to the chapter's preference towards infiltration]
but i think if i go up to 1850, i'll just add a few more scout squads [maybe with sniper rifles] and another venerable dread..
thanks for all your input :]
