[Epic] Revised Space Marine Army

Below is my revised army. The reasons I have revised my
army are:

1/ I realised that the scouts would dead meat if faced
by warp spiders or swooping hawks. Because scouts have
a range of 30cm and warp spiders and swooping hawks have
an assault movement of 45cm, therefore they could get
into close combat with my scouts, without being fired
upon. Therefore my scouts are unable to provide
covering fire to the rest of my army. I decided
that it was better to replace them with artillery.

2/ I realised if I took artillery I would have to
not take Thunderhawks, because they would have
to be put on interception missions to protect
my artillery, I decided that they were to
expensive to use in an interception role, and
decided to use Hydras instead. This meant I
had to abandon taking Maruaders as well. because
they would be dead meat if intercepted by
Maruaders.

3/Artillery give me the ability to reduce
the mobility of Eldar (which is their primary)
strength) by inflicting blast markers on
his troops. I can also use artillery take
out his Web spinners, if necessary.

My Plan of attack is as follows

B=bikes
L=Landraiders
*=Titans (40cm apart)
F=Hydras
X=Tactical Squad


              * *
      BB LL XXXX LL BB

             F F
             AA AA
------------my board edge--------

This could change depending on the terrain.

The idea is that Titans advance blasting the enemy away
and providing covering fire for the infantry.

The infantry can support the titans if they attack enemy
units or are assaulted by them, and the infantry can also
assault terrain which the titans can't.

The Landraiders provide supporting fire for bikes or
titans as necessary.

The artillery can immobolise Eldar Flanking forces, which
gives the landraiders more time to fire at them and also
the bikes an opportunity to deal with them in a piece meal
fashion.
