Hi all I'm new to 40k i just brought a bunch of space marine boxes and before i start clipping them and throwing random weapons on them i wanted some advice on what weapons the units should have.

If it helps at all i want to paint them and have them as Imperial Fists. Any help would be awesome i want to expand later on but first i want to play a few games with the models i have in these boxes i just need help with what items to equip

This is a list of what i have:

Lysander

Imperial Fist - Rodricus Grytt - from Deathwatch overkill

One Space Marine Terminator Captain

One Tactical Squad box set

One Scout squad with snipers box set

One Devastator Squad box set

One Vanguard veteran squad box set

One Terminator Assault squad box set

One Space marine Venerable Dreadnought box set

At 1000 points it's hard to include all those models especially Lysander! BUT saying that lets try

FIRESPEAR STRIKE FORCE

Terminator Captain TH/SShield (in reserve)
Venerable Dreadnought, Extra Armor, TL Autocannonx2
(Drop pod)
Tactical Squad (10 marines), Grav Gun, Combi-Grav, MBomb
(Rhino with extra SBolter)
[540 points]

SHADOWSTRIKE KILL TEAM

Scout Squad (CCW), Vet Serg, PWeapon, Combi Melta, MBomb & Teleport Homer
(LSS with MMelta)
Scout Squad (CCW), Vet Serg, PWeapon, Combi Melta,
MBomb & Teleport Homer
(LSS with MMelta)

Vanguard Vets (5 marines), Jump Packs , x5 PWeapons, x2 Stormshields and MBx1

This is of course a ridiculous list.....and I failed to get the Devastators in! I think you would be far better building a Battle Demi Company & then taking a Thunderfire Cannon or Devastator squad (or Anti-Air Defence Force if people use flyers locally) as a cheap Auxillary choice which would give you a Sterhammer Strike Force easily at 1000 points
