Im not and never have been sold on Command Squads, don't you have some Terminators or another Dreadnought? but yes it's some hitting power if they make it into combat. Land Raider driving them in, has a massive Shoot me banner painted right over the tank :p
Okay unit.

Twin-las rocket combo is it?
Ven dreads are always a nice addition to the army because of their special rule, would make nice support up the flank popping off light vehicles.

Personally i'd swop the plasmaguns and meltaguns around as rhino's will most likely get into short range which is where melta-tank busting is effective. Now, plasmguns are very effective at short range we know HOWEVER if you put them in the Razorback who is likely to sit back and shoot the plasmaguns have a 24" range, meltaguns only have 12" so are probably not likely to get in when in the Razorbacks.

Extra armour? i'd happily drop some terminators honor off vet sergeants and put them on speedrs because if they get crew shakened and stunned you can fly them away out of sight whereas no extra armour = deaded speeder.

Plasma pistols on terminators? Now thats just ruining them :p Going in a land raider i assume.

4 rockets would be overall better i think, best allround unit Killer.

Your tanks kinda need extra armour whereas the sarges dont really need their terminator honours.

Hopefully some points worth thinking over.

Thanks,

Well Apoc is all about having fun.....yes, FUN at a gaming table...whatever next !!!

I like your Command squad, its very nasty, and i think it will definetly hit hard !!, thats the good thing about Apoc as well, you get to try things you never would in a normal game !!, they could be drop podded though !!

the rest of the force is still nasty, and the units are quick enough to take of the board !!, but have you thought about using some of the data sheets, the combi of speeders and whirlwinds could be awesome, and 3 vindicaters....., but that would probably mean ignoring force org charts which you do not want to do.

just a thought ?
