Your land speeders will be at their best when you verse the nids.And you plan to take 9 of them!Ouch thats al i can say.I wouldnt bother taking a land speeder squad with a multi melta.Just go for all tornados armed with HB and ACs.I guess some land speeder typhoons would be pretty good wouldnt they?Dont they get like a str5 ap5 blast, or something like that?And i would definately take the master of the ravenwing on a speeder,as those re rolls will come in handy.
Ok your only real big threat is those big bugs.Those guns you said they might be either a venom cannon or maybe a barb strangler or something alike.They are capable of taking out your speeders which you dont want to happen.So your going to have to take out those big bugs.There is two possible ways of which i can think of of how you could do this.
1)Attack them with your bikes.Move up into charge range,fire your meltaguns and bolters,then assault with your powerfist and chappie,with re rolls.You should most definately get the charge as you are far more fast than the big bugs.You will probably take off 1 or 2,maybe even 3 wounds if your really lucky by shooting and then hopefully finish him off with your fist and power weapon attacks.
2)Pop out with your speeders and unleash a hail of shots and bring him down.Pop out with a land speeder squadron and give him everything youve got.You will even rend some shots with the AC which will be good.With that many shots into him he should fail some saves and go down.If not then you could always fire with a second squadron or charge him with you bikes.
Once you have taken out their only hope of bringing down your speeders and bikes you will have a fairly easy time.With the speed you have got,followed by the firepower that you pack you will be able to annihilate the rest of his force easily.Hope that helped.
Cheers,
Tycho
