I realised that using UM CT, drop podded multi melta devs could provide a pretty decent, well priced alpha strike, and figured I'd write a list around it. Ignoring fliers, I think it's pretty decent.

Librarian, ML 2, terminator armour 115
Sternguard squad, 5 combiplas, drop pod 205
Tactical squad, flamer, missile launcher, 5 additional marines, rhino 195

Devastator squad, 4 multi meltas, drop pod 145

Unfortunately the 'Devastator Doctrine' specifically states that it does not apply when disembarking from a transport :(

Why would you paint them ultramarines when there are much better chapters that you could use.

Blue, white and gold is a nice looking color scheme. Everyone has different tastes.

Aaaaaaaaaah that's lame. 4 deep striking relentless multi melta's for 145pts seemed like a brilliant idea.

I think Ultra's actually have a pretty cool scheme, I used to hate it but it's grown on me after seeing this:

If you want DSing MMs, there are always LotD or MM/MM speeders.

TBH I like their color scheme, but it's so overused and MATT WARD.

You could always paint them Rainbow Warriors
