why not capitalise your commanders ability and replace the termies with assault marines? even with 5 of them, you probably have room left for a tactical squad with a missile launcher or a devastator squad with 2 of them?
(1250) Haven't thought of a title for these dudes yet..
Ive been experimenting a little bit and from what i understand its F'ing nice to have toughness 4 again! Anyways, heres what I want, a little on the fluffy side, and I would appreciate any feedback geared towards building it up, as long as theres some mutual consent to leave the typhoons alone. I've playtested em, I know they are garbage, but the whole theme here is anti-cheese yet still playable. 
haha I must be crazy. Here goes!
MEN! Trust your battle brothers, for We stand ALONE!!!
Master - 166pts.
Lightning claws, Frag Grenades, Jump Pack, Terminator Honours, Iron Halo
(possibly deploying solo, depends on the terrain/opposition. If not, he will just sit pretty with one of the assault-themed tac squads or behind the dread)
Terminator Squad - 250pts. (250 seems to be the sweetspot for termies)
Sarge w/ Stormbolter + Power Weapon
2 w/ Stormbolter + Power Fist
2 w/ Stormbolter + Power Fist + Cyclone Missile Launcher
(wont be deepstriking. why waste time with 48"?)
Dreadnought - 160pts.
Venerable, Missile Launcher, Twin-linked Lascannon (only one in army YAY), Extra Armour
3 Land Speeder Typhoons (separate FOC slots) - 210pts.
(honestly, i'd pay 50pts for a fast skimmer heavy bolter anyways)
2 5-Man Tactical Squads - 264pts.
Squad has Trust your Battle Brother
Sarge w/ Power Fist, Bolter, Auspex, Terminator Honours
1 w/ Plasmagun
3 w/ Bolter + CCW
2 5-Man Tactical Squads - 200pts.
Squad has Trust your Battle Brother
Sarge w/ Bolter + CCW
1 w/ Missile Launcher
3 w/ Bolter + CCW
As far as i can acertain, true grit/counter-attack + "and they shall know no fear..." is basically a really good set-up for a shooty SM army. The only problem is I want to EARN my victories, none of this namby-pamby lascannon/assault cannon BS. The only beasts worth carrying such awesome weaponry will be my dreadnoughts (I want a second with CCW + heavy flamer + Assault Cannon) because those dudes are trapped for eternity in a sarcophagus they might as well have some fun. Thanks in advance for any comments!
