your black knights are priced as though there are 7 bikes. so is it 6 bikes + 1 bike with launcher?

 

are the predator weapon options set in stone? I feel autocannon/bolter or autocannon/lascannon are still better ways to run them.

 

the 2 land speeders seem conflicted. you have the long range typhoon (with a short range multimelta) and a dakka speeder with a 36/24 inch range. feeling like they should be separate squads otherwise you'll waste firepower potential.

 

other than that, as a starting point for the new book. don't see many problems.

I agree about the speeders, if you are running them as a squadron then its better that they have complimentary weapons as they'll be shooting at the same things..... so 24" multimelta and 24" assault cannon is fine, but sticking that with a 48" Typhoon missile launcher isn't ideal.

 

252 points is correct for 6 Black Knights. :)

 

I'm not a fan of the Vengeance. My preference would be to drop that for the Dark Shroud, and use the 80 points saved to increase your bike squads to 6 bikes each, enabling you to buy the speeders as part of the Attack Squadron, which frees up the Fast Attack slot for the Dark Shroud (if you understand me! ;) )
