I've been toying with some army list ideas, and wanted to get some input.
This army list is mechanized marines. I'm still trying my arms around 5e, and the KP system.
What is good with this list, what would you change? Thanks in advance.

Are you using the 5e codex for marines all those totals are wrong and Tactical squads can only get special/heavy weapons at 10 models now. I few of those points are high and some are low so you could field equivalent probably. Looks alright though... now that Dreads get a free melta and a drop pod is 35 pts it cost 140 pts to set one and shoot back tank armor on turn one. For ten more points you get a HF and can wreck troops just as easy. I think that's definitely the way to go with the dread

Yeah it looks like you're using the older codex.

I was using the older codex.

You can tell Ive not played in years, I did not know there was a new one!!

Ill get it and recrunch the numbers. Thanks again!
