Here is a revision of the last 1850 point list I posted. I recently broke down and bought a bike squadron, and after test playing them I absolutely love them. Please comment/critique.

Death Rain, Devastator Squad: 200

Maximus Predatus, Predator Annihilator: 130
- TL Las Cannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons
Vengeance, Whirlwind Missle-Launcher Platform: 85
Points: 1848
Models: 48
Vehicles: 3
BASIC STRATEGY
- Devastators, Whirlwind, and Tac Squad Delta (plas squad) stay put and form a decent fire base. Squad Delta sits in front of Devastators to act as fire magnet.
- Squad Alpha and Beta, along with the Predator, advance along one flank/up the middle. Squad Alpha and Beta leapfrog as to always have a total of 3 heavy bolters pumping out rounds at the enemy. Tank can also act as mobile cover.
- Bikes either turbo boost 18-19 inches to gain invulnerable save, and Assault Squad with chappy follows behind. Bikes act as fire magnets. They should survive the first turn due to 3+ invulnerable saves. They also kill vehicles and transports, as 2 meltaguns and a multimelta will wreck havoc against armor, or even MEQ/TEQ squads.
- Terminators drop in either 6" from the bikes, the chappy, or one of the tac squads, ensuring I'm getting loads of power fists and shooting in exactly where I need reinforcements.
- The Dreadnought either sticks slightly close to the Dev squad, or acts as a mobile rending platform and follows the leapfrogging tac squads and tank, or the fast guys along the other flank, depending on opponent faced.
Hopefully by turn two I will have a nice amount of attacks hitting one flank, while another flank holds the main part of the board with substantial firing and backup firing from the static firebase. I think this list is pretty balanced between shooty and assault, as squads with powerfists and power weapons abound. Let me know what you think.
