I love it! I really like it and it seems fun to play. However, this means that it probably isn't too competitive ;) You've got some nice heavy firepower, some heavy hitters and lots of mobility. Since you're using PL, there's no wiggle room. I will most probably borrow your idea and use a similar list after the new Codex is released; the only thing I'm not a fan of is the Land Speeder Storm; I'd consider dropping it and the Assault Bike and swapping those for a Razorback or a Rhino.

I see what you're saying and that would probably be a better option, but the LSstorm and Abike are there for when I'm only 2 or 3 power from max. Gives me another unit I can squeeze in for versatility and not waste unspent power.
