The Company Master and 'Zeke will join the Assault Squad inside the Drop pod, mostly being aimed to drop first and find cover ASAP before manoeuvring for a charge. The two Lascannon squads will obviously provide anti-tank support; and the Heavy Bolter squad will either deploy, using the Drop Pod for ObSec, or drop in with the pod.
The Support Squadron will focus on keeping the two bike squads within range to help with the Overwatch if they are charged, and hopefully will be enough of a deterant to convince assault armies that charging the bikes is a bad idea; especially at the number of shots this list can get for Overwatch with high BS.
The Attack Squadrons are naturally inclined to focus their fire on the same targets, with the bikes getting a boost to their BS for shooting the same unit.
All in all, I wanted to try something that would let me get the benefit of the Strike Force, and this list really strikes me as the way to do it. Any comments?
