This guy seem solid.

I'd prefer a lascannon to an assault cannon, but I see why you chose this, it is more versatile, if not as dedicated.

Personally this squad is two small... 6 men is much to small for assault unless you know your oppenent is not going to have large squads. And, as this is a tourney army I'd say its pretty likely that you won't know that for sure. Perhaps this is where you'd fill out those extra points?

While I like the make up of these squads I'm not sure if I'd want to spend 440pts (nearly 1/3 of my army) on just 2 small squads that can be eaten up by lots of things. By just removing one of these squads, you can get a fully tooled up 10 man tactical squad.... which is quite nice.

Transport; Razorback w/Twin-linked Heavy bolter, Smoke launchers & Searchlight.

Hmm... I don't really like this squad... its two small and I never really understood the usefulness of the Razorback. However, as I've never used one... I can't really say.

I likey.

While this squad, with combat squads can be useful, I'm not sure if I'd do it as I like big squads.... (my favorite being a 8 man dev. squad w/ 4 MLs)

I like this guy, though I'm not sure if I would have him... I might suggest a predator w/ a Lascannon instead, if you can find the points.


Now, mind you I have never played at a tourney, and thus I assume you have a lot more experiance in such a siduation, however, I would make the changes I listed out.

I think to me, the biggest problem is the lack of models... I'm a guy who likes big squads, and in almost all of my lists I always have at least 2 10 man tactical squads, and usually a 10 man command squad.

Anyways... best of luck at the tourenemt!
