Multiply Wealth By Division

Over here at YTTH, Stelek made a Black Templars gunline list for 'Ard Boys.  At first glance, it looks terrible.  But after I took some time thinking about it, I think the list has it's merits.  It definitely only works at the 2500 point format, as the BT Razorback spam is too expensive at anything less than that.  I tried to trim it down to 2000 points, but you really do lose way too much to make it viable.  The list contains 10 TL Lascannons (one tank hunter), 6 normal Lascannons, 6 Heavy Bolters, 6 Heavy Flamers, a tank hunter missile launcher, and 6 Multi-meltas.  Can you say "Yikes!" on the alpha strike capabilities?  That isn't even counting the 6 heavy flamers, 6 regular flamers, and 2 assault cannons!  The two combat dreadnoughts act as close combat support, as well as the Emperor's Champion.  While all this is going on, 'Abhor the Witch' gives a 33% chance at canceling psychic powers cast on your units and will allow your army to move D6" forward if your enemy has a psyker (which is pretty much everyone nowadays); our Land Speeders love this.  The list definitely has its possibilities and I'll be attempting to put it through the ringer over the next few weeks.  Here is the list in it's entirety:

HQ
Emperor's Champion:  Abhor the Witch [110]
ELITE
Ven Dreadnought: TL LC, ML, Tank Hunters, EA, Smoke [173]
Dreadnought: AC, EA, Smoke [113]
Dreadnought: AC, EA, Smoke [113]
TROOPS
Crusader Squad (5 Init): LC, Flamer.  Razorback w/ TL LC [191]
Crusader Squad (5 Init): LC, Flamer.  Razorback w/ TL LC [191]

Crusader Squad (5 Init): LC, Flamer.  Razorback w/ TL LC [191]

FAST ATTACK
Land Speeder Squadron (x2): MM, HF [150]
Land Speeder Squadron (x2): MM, HF [150]
Land Speeder Squadron (x2): MM, HF [150]
HEAVY SUPPORT
Predator Annihilator: TL LC, HB sponsons [130]
Predator Annihilator: TL LC, HB sponsons [130]
Predator Annihilator: TL LC, HB sponsons [130]
TOTAL: [2495]

So what does everyone think?  At the very least, the list deserves to be play-tested.  I think it'll be nice to have something that is a bit different to play with for a bit.  Only real issues that I can see is lack of CC ability and ability to deal with mass mob armies.  Hopefully the 6 HF, 6 Flamers, 2 AC, and 6 HB will be enough to combat that a bit.  We shall see.  :)
