I'm trying to get a friend into Epic Armageddon. He's set on Tyranids, while I'm going to go with Space Marines.
I've tried to draft up two lists (2000 p.ts) with the aim of having them roughly balanced between themselves (and functional enough to be considered "competitive"), but as I'm very inexperienced I'm totally unsure if they're any good. I'd appreciate any feedback you care to throw my way.

4 Landspeeder, 1 Tornado
LAND SPEEDER [200]
4 Landspeeder, 1 Tornado
MARAUDER SQUADRON [250]
2 Maurader bombers
Main questions are:
- Does the Thawk-transported Termie formation pack enough punch (assuming supported by at least one of the Sppeder formations)?
- Are Speeders even the "right" choice to support an assault? How about Bikes?

HARRIDAN SWARM [230]
Harridan, 4 Gargoyles
Main questions are:
- Am I bringing enough AA? Is plonking it all in a single squad as not to slow down the others a sound decision?
- Are the Gargoyles useful support for the Harridans, or am I better off fielding them alone and using those 160 p.ts for an additional formation?
