Hi there looking for pointers on this:

Since you don't get second attack, use some weapon denying it to you. Or a storm shield.

5x Scouts Close Combat weapons and bolt pistols 75pts
5x Scouts, shotguns 75pts

I'd like to see a special close combat weapon on Sarge. Or they won't last, I'm afraid.

10x tactical marines, Powerfist, flamer, missile launcher, rhino 245pts with extra armour

IMHO extra armour is overrated.

8x Bikes, two melta guns, attack bike with multimelta, Power fist 310pts
8x Bikes, two melta guns, attack bike with multimelta, Power fist 310pts

Way to go!

Landspeeder Storm 50pts
Landspeeder Storm 50pts
Landspeeder Squadron, 2 x landspeeder typhoon 180pts

Two Typhoons can be crippled with a single lucky autocannon shooting so I won't say squadroning them is a good idea.

I'd recommend you to drop one storm, split Typhoons into different slots, equip one scout squad for shooting (snipers/ML/cloaks) and give other scout squad PW/PF/meltabombs/combi-melta - you name it.

Hope this helps.

ok, rewritten the list, on the first one I paid the points for a storm shield on the captain but didn't post it up. Anyway here is list two:

HQ

I think if you find a way to add in Rifleman dreads, it will give you more of the shooting punch... Also, I think the Capt is a bit of overkill since bikers ain't that killy unless you're running a command squad.

Fluff wise for the army I see it as a raiding force hence no heavy tanks and dreds. The captain is told out to give me something that will achieve some results in the cc phase.

Had another play arround with the list to this:

HQ

Captain, Bike, Digital weapon, relic blade, storm shield, artificer armour 205pts

Troops

Scouts x 5, sniper rifles, camo cloak, missile launcher 100pts
Scouts x 5, Power fist, combi melta, 110pts
Tactical Marines x 10, Power fist, MG, missile launcher, rhino 235pts
8x Bikes, two melta guns, attack bike with multimelta, Power fist 310pts
8x Bikes, two melta guns, attack bike with multimelta, Power fist 310pts

Fast Attack
Land Speeder Storm with MM 65pts
Land Speeder HF/MM 70pts
Land Speeder Typhoon 90pts

I am not sold on the captain and i am thinking about dropping some of his gear and changing the second Land Speeder to the HF/MM config to get the points to change the rhino to a razorback. Any views on that??

Actually looking through my list and Codex again, and I decided to drop my scouts and give my Tactical Squads a Rhino with Storm Bolter
