5 scouts- cloaks, 5 snipers

Personally I would go command squad over honour guard cheaper and you can upgrade them the same and they have fnp personally

not cheaper really. honor guard are like 7 points more with power weapons and artificer armor. might swap chaplain to librarian with biomancy for endurance...

Think your putting a literal butt-load of points into that honor guard chappy and pedro. the drop pod is great, but once hes on the ground, they are on foot and can't assault with all those Melee weapons.  so your opponent gets a turn to run away from you or shoot everything they have right into your face. .. and thats if you bring them in turn one... If they do survive until turn two, they definitely going to wreck stuff and control table space.

if you make them your reserved drop pod, then they don't get to charge until earliest turn three. which is a whole lot of points sitting off the table while your squishy bits are exposed.  dunno. i'de rather see them in a land raider maybe. drop a few dudes if you have to.  that way you can put them where you want and guarantee the charge that you want.

Definitely librarian over chappy.

Thats just me, however

have to work to squeeze a LR in there. just not sure what to take instead of the honor guard. my options are limited as to what i own for marines.
got 30ish tacticals, command squad (magnetized for options), more sniper scouts, speeder storm, speeder, LR redeemer/crusader, stormraven, various terminators and a few rhino/razors.

Scout and storm is great to get to objectives quick with a locator beacon to have persice drop spots if you wanted or to hold it untill tac or stern gets show up. I recommend SR great anti tank flyer and infantry I just think you needier shooty guys with imp fist doctrine
