So the first try of this list went well (thanks for the game JJ). really enjoyed playing a very different style of list - fast and maneouverable but very low body count.
The flamer bikes coming on the right edge when outflanking tipped the game in my favour I think as they took out 1 and a half squads of vets in one round of shooting! The command squad was ok, didn't really see what it could do cos it got pretty mauled, but on the plus side it took an awful lot of firepower, so I think it will stay for now with modifications (it still took out one vet squad, and made creed run away with just the chaplain and the apothecary left).
the landspeeders didn't do a huge amount this game, mainly because of the aegis defence line JJ had, which was definitely worth its points, and I need to work out how to use Sammael better, he spent most of the game hiding from hydras so that he didn't give away a VP, and his plasma cannon kept missing.
here is the revised list, includes another flamer squad for more flamer death (more bikes less speeders, no banner)!
Sammael - jetbike (plasma cannon, eternal warrior, nice shiny sword)
Chappy - bike
RAS - 6 bikes, 2 flamers, apothecary, power sword, attack bike with multimelta
3 x RAS - 3 bikes, 2 melta guns, attack bike with multimelta
1 x RAS - 2 flamers, attack bike with multimelta
1 x RAS - 2 plasma gun, attack bike with multi-melta
landspeeder with typhoon ml and mm
landspeeder with typhoon ml and hb
