Topic: [HM] 500 point combat patrol list

[ForAcheron]

My local shop is having a 500 point combat partol tourney next weekend. Here is my list, and I am looking for some good solid criticism. I am supsecting to be playing mostly marines (chaos and good alike) and there might be a necron player.

Doctrines: Grenadiers and Iron Discipline

Troops
1st Platoon
Jr Officer, attendant staff, Iron Discipline
       1st Squad - Missle Launcher, Gernade Launcher
       2nd Squad - Missle Launcher, Gernade Launcher
       3rd Squad - Missle Launcher, Gernade Launcher
       4th Squad - Missle Launcher, Gernade Laucher

10 man Stromtrooper Squad, meltagun and flamer

TOTAL Points - 499

I was thinking of a list similar to that, but replacing one squad with a Sentinel with amrored crew compartment (I have steel legion) and lascannon.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just a thought...

Maybe you should throw in a few plasmas if you're playing a lot of 3+ Save armies.  In another topic someone (Twisting Shadow I think) ran the numbers on killing Necrons, and it seems like the Missile Launchers are the only thing in your army that can kill them effectively.

Your current list looks quite good, but giving 2 infantry squads plasma guns seems advisable because of your opponents. You could also drop a stormtrooper and buy your command squad a flamer. You make a minimal sacrifice in stormie survivability but you end up with 2 more plasma guns and a flamer. I wouldn't include a sentinel because it will be easy prey for anything above strength 3, not to mention the cost of the sentinel and the things you'd have to leave at home to afford it.
