Also, Space Wolf Grey Hunters x10, Blood Claws x20, Rune Priest, Wolf Priest, Logan Grimnar, Ragnar and Ulrik.

I dont have a Chapter or theme in mind, but I would like to use all these figures I have laying around. It can be wolf based, blood angels, or just plain vanilla marines, BUT NO dark angels please!
I havent run a marine army in quite awhile and if anyone has been using them for sometime, and can throw a list together based on these figures, or even adding Terminators or more Assault squads
that'd be fantastic!

Thanks all!

1 Chaplain w/ jump pack, bolt pistol, frags - 107

9 Assault Marines + 1 Vet Serg w/ power fist - 250

2x Rhino squads - 2x 253
9 Marines w/ melta + 1 Vet Serg w/power fist
Rhino w/ armour, smoke

1 Vindicator w/ PotMS - 155
2x Predator Destructor w/ heavy bolter sponsons, armour - 2x 115

1 Dreadnought w/ assault cannon, armour - 110
1 dreadnought w/ lascannon, missle launcher, armour - 140

Total: 1498 pts.

Wustenfex!

I appreciate your time on this one, and the list looks great, Im going to give it a shot here soon!

Since you have such a great handle on running marine armies, do you think there's any worth to possible adding an Inquistor w/ retinue, maybe some kind of assassin and a pair of Daemonhosts?
Im actually starting a campaign against Black Templars and Sisters of Battle (2 armies each) and I was going to run Chaos, and was thinking of trying to swing a Chapter that's falling, or at least, trying to justify fighting Chaos with Chaos, and has entered into this very strained alliance with said Chaos Sorcerer. I figure hey, they're probably already on "The List" of the Inquisition for screwin' around with the warp and such, so why not? Maybe grand finale of the game is my army vs. my army, lol. Anyways, would this be something doable or is it better just to stick with the initial list?

Thanks!

So, anyone else run any successful 750pt lists?
Anyone else that can contribute to this post, it would be most appreciated!

Still havent decided which way to go with these crazy figures (game's too pricey to make mistakes, lol).

Space Wolves have always rocked to me theme-wise, but I dont have the drop pods that everyone seems to think are the best of the best, so....
I could be turned to any chapter really, nothing in paticular, and any ideas are welcome!

***the only exception is no Dark Angels please, I used to have them, and ended up trading them off, so it'd be a sad thing to try to redo it all***

Thanks all!

Well, in the 3rd ed I played a DH Inquisitor Lord w/ daemon hammer, sacred incense, bolt pistol, with 3 Acolythes w/ storm shields, 3 Servitors w/ power fists, and 1 Familiar. This squad mounted in a Rhino rocked in cc against Nids. In the 5th ed, when transported squads are no longer entangled when the transport is blown up, Rhino mounted squads are worth while. However, in 1500 pt games, this squad is too expensive (about 300 pts). I'd leave it for larger games.
