Okay, I've searched and searched but I can't find the info I need. Can anyone give me the exact breakdown of Mauleed's Ultramauleens? And also, the droppod list Mauleed uses so successfully.

And, if I'm not mistaken, these armies are devised for 1,850 tournament play. Does anyone know what would change for 1,500 tournament play?

Thanks.

Main change: in a 1500 game there'd be fewer Marines :-D

Wow, thanks so much for that. Put much thought and effort into that, did you? Don't worry, I'm sure someone equally as moronic will be by in a little while to tell you how funny you are.

Arse.

Being as you're such a friendly fella I'm sure you'll get some comments soon. Tough it out big guy.

I have a copy of Ed's lists around here somewhere. As soon as I find it, I will be sure to post it for you. Just sit tight.

**Green Bloater**

I have a copy of the list too... I will try to PM a copy to you later today.

See you at the Con!

**Treadhead**

I spose someone should point something out...

You can't just take someone else's army list, even if it is a very competative one like Mauleed's, and expect to have the smae success with it. You have to know how to play the army inside out and backwards, in every situation. One person's play stile can be totally different from your own.

Plus, if you tkae it down to 1500, you may cut out a vital, key unit that makes the list work, rendering the list almost useless against many opponents. The reason, IMO, Mauleed did so well, is that not only was it a good list, but he is a good player, and knows his list.

Still, looks like you have a couple of copies now, but remember to at least get as much practice with the army as possible.

Actually I'm wondering what the old 3rd ed lists looked like for Shooty Marines. I never played that edition of the game and I'm just wondering what was considered effective back then.

**Frazzled**

Just think las/plas minimum sized tac squads. Thats the over riding feature.

**Darrian13**

I'm still looking. I am sure I will find it. Just sit tight Stu, I will PM it to you.

See? What did I tell you?

Aside from the general arse-wankery of Longshot, thanks to Steve and Darrian for the posts.

That wasn't my intention. I was just looking for his lists for a comparison purpose (to another 1,500 points Marine army I just got severly stomped by). Thank you, though.

**Toreador**

Can someone PM that list to me also? We are trying to come up with a very competitive 1000pt marine list for testing in local games. Would appreciate it.

**Mannahnin**

Or you could just post it, so anyone else who happens to be curious can see it.

Here's a varient with Tigurius he used back in March:

From what I recall his list should be at 1850 points. If you're looking for some really hard as nails Marine list at 1500 points I'd suggest the following:

Master, Power Weapon, Combat Shield
5x 5 Man Las/Plas Squads
3x1 Landspeeder Tornado
2x 5 Man 2 Assault Cannon Terminator Squads
1 Venerable Dread in Pod with Heavy Flamer and Extra Armor

That should come out to just under 1500 points.

**Flavius Infernus**

The one I remember pre-dates the drop pod era:

-termie master, termie command squad 2AC
-termie fear/fury librarian, termie command squad 2AC
4X 6-man las plasma squad
8 devs 4HB
6 devs 3 ML
~2 tornados to taste

The power armor squads deploy in a long gunline. The termies go on the wings as countercharge. The speeders lurk.

When Ed plays this army it's fun because it's like "hey, I get to see if I can beat Ed's marines." When somebody else plays it, it's like "Ack! another Mauleed clone."

The rumor I heard of the drop pod army (correct me if I'm wrong) is something like this:

2 termie command squads as above
2 small marine squads with dual meltas in drop pods
2-3 dreads (at least one venerable) with AC and heavy flamer in pods
~2 tornados to taste

**Toreador**

Very cool, thanks. Think I have my 1000pt list done now.

**Green Bloater**

This is from another forum:

1 x Master: Terminator armor with claws, Command squad with 2 assault cannons

1 x Epistolary: Fear + Fury, Terminator armor, force sword + storm bolter, Command squad with 2 assault cannons

4 x 6-man las/plas Tac squads

1 x 6-man Assault squad with 2 flamers, Vet with fist

1 x 8-man Dev squad, 4 heavy bolters

1 x 6-man Dev squad, 3 missile launchers

2 x LS Tornadoes, separate squadrons

**torgoch**

If I recall it was something like

Termie Command Squad, Libby with Fear,Fury, in Pod

Termie Squad in pod

2*meltagun squads in pod

3 * ven dreads in pods

3 * Tornados.

+ presumably some other stuff.

For 1500 I'd go for

154 ? Libby
230 ? Termie Command Squad in Pod

270 ? Termie squad in pod

130 ? Melta squad in pod
130 ? Melta squad in pod

165 ? Venerable in Pod
165 ? Venerable in Pod
165 ? Venerable in Pod

then either take a tornado, or dump a heavy flamer and take 2 normal speeders (my preference)

**Longshot**

I am a wankery arse, cheer.

Thank you, everyone, for the replies. Much appreciated.
