So right now i have melta bombs on each of my tech marines, im wondering if it would be better to drop the melta bombs to give my interceptors psybolt ammo(and i have some points left over from other stuff), str 5 storm bolters are nice, but are they worth it

Str 5 storm bolters > meltabombs on a model with two STR 8 attacks already.

i was origonally thinking the melta bombs would be good if i get stuck in combat with a dreadnought for 4 combat phases again, since str 8 needs 4's to glance (and i couldnt seem to roll them) and would help against land raiders, but str 5 is pretty good, your wounding on 3 against 90% of the troop choises. i need to use my interceptors better i find they ether dont do much or get killed early on, or i think of how i could have used them better afterwords. Thanks Tom ill try the psybolt ammo this weekend

Hammerhand doesn't work for the techmarines as the servo-harnesses are specifically STR 8 attacks.

You can not increase attacks that are at a set strength.
Such as Gabriel seth's weapons, or Astoraths weapons, or Corbulo's weapon as perfect examples as they are at a set strength for the attacks- same as the servo harness.

actually it says that the unit gets +1 S, so i assume that means like on their profile, which servo harness does not take the tech marines profile into account since it just says 2 str 8 attacks at int 1

Yeah, the S5 storm bolters are far scarier than a melta bomb, besides, if the tech machine is fighting a dreadnought you'd only hit with the grenade on 6s. Your far better off relying on your S8 in that regard.
