It would be helpful if you could provide some information on your strategy, including any RoW you plan to use - such as HoO.

Who is the techmarine meant to support?

Why fast attack units and sicaran instead of Predators and Vindicators under HoO?

I thought putting Hammer of Olympia in the title would be sufficient to explain what RoW to take.

I'm not sure what strategic information you need. I'll put tactical on objectives and kill my opponents threats with firepower. Beyond that it's entirely dependant on mission and my opponents composition.

Tech marine is to support the 20 man tacticals 60 bolter shots hitting on 2s rerolling 1s is threatening to anything, I don't own any vindicators or predators for Iron Warriors and I find vehicle squadrons to be way too fragile in general. Flyers allow me to put firepower where it is needed without my opponent being able to hide them easily, the Sicaran is decent against most targets and is fast so it can provide support where needed easier.

Why give the tech marine a mc bolter? They will either repair or use cog during their shooting phase. Also interested to hear why you chose 2 different air options.

The model has a bolter, yes it's highly unlikely they will ever use it.

Mostly because I own one of each, the lightning is mostly a fire and forget answer to a Spartan or other chunky vehicle/super heavy even if it isn't quite as reliable as it used to be, the xiphon is way cheaper and has more sustained use but doesn't have the burst potential of the lightning.
