1) armored spearhead= heps of tanks including a lr and vindicator and sm troops with lots of heavy weopons...lacks cc!!!
2) classic sm=omfg dis is the emberezingsaoe...a commander 5man termi squad 2 tactis wit...FLAMER AND MISSILE LAUNCHER AAAARRGH!!! and a vindi/whirli
3)dark angel style all termi=wot??? all termi mate /all jump pack= blood angels with jump pax
4)wroom wroom=all bike/ls army

wotdya guys reckon i should take???

Why not just mix all the suggestions you have?

You can get LR and Vindi
You can get Assault marines
You can get termies with flamer and missle
You can get bikes.

?????

yeah but i like an army in 1 direction, allthough that isnt tactically good....what do you reckon is the best against todays armies??

Best recommendation: learn to spell, trying to read this hurts my brain.

2nd this ^.

Post in proper English.
Use of text speak and other meaningless abbreviations tends to have the effect of making people not bother reading your posts - even if you do have something to contribute.

My suggestion: Take a mix. Unless you like a particular theme (like all terminator Deathwing ).

Edit your post to be in proper English or else people won't take you seriously. You'll get an honest opinion then.

I agree with chromedog on the mixed army part because for example when facing an ork army if you're playing as Blood Angels you'll want to assault them rather than them assaulting you. Taking a vindicator or 2 will help to thin the numbers of the orks giving you a greater advantage of wining the combat so it is useful to mix armies.

My suggestion for your SM army:

Add a "C" in front of that "SM" and get yourself some defilers.

They're like a can full of Awesomesauce wrapped in a flaky puff-pastry exterior, served with a side of kewlbeanz.

This is not the troll you are looking for.

Only because he got served in thin slices with bacon and asparagus for an appetizer.

Ill write you an honest response before the thread jackers get this locked.


Since your starting out, its usually impossible for a new player to be able to buy an entire company's worth of stuff. So being able to feild anything you want is impossible at the start. SO saying that, Ill tell you to start with the setup you like the most. Tanks or troops is pretty much the cut and dry of what your looking for. Think on that, and then spend away.

Holy Crap, you changed the spelling? How bad was it before? This hurt me eyes and brain trying to read this garble....WoW

Redid the list so it speaks english (little brother writes exactly like this)

I've been playin 40k for roughly 1 year now and im starting a new space marine army (I know 90% of the people play sm but i would like to give it a go), i thought about what kind of space marine army, what should i play? there are four main kinds that i would like to consider:

1) Armored spearhead= Majority of tanks including land raider's and vindicator's with space marine tactical troops with heavy weopons (e.g. Plasma Cannon) this would lack cc.
2) Classic space marine= Commander, 5 man terminator squad, 2 tactical squads with cheap flamers/missile launcher combo's, and vindicators/whirlwinds
3) Terminator/Jump pack assault= Majority of army consists of Terminators / All jump pack assault orientated army, similar to blood angels.
4) Bike list= Army similar to White scars with bike squadrons and land speeders.

What would you recommend? thanks in advanced

Do all bikes, max out troops XD

Don't forget the White scars guy so you can have out flanking stuff. Also are you able to still take bike squads as fast attack when you take a captain on a bike? If you are make the fast attacks attack bike squads. As for elites.... I'm not sure, th/ss Terminators in outflanking LRs? That also takes up all the heavy support.

Then using it is easy. Find the enemy, drive at the enemy, win.

Just don't paint them black and white. Or if you do, do it for the lulz
Also try to avoid difficult terrain unless you really need to use it. I've seen a lot of bikes die that way

Also have fun in Planet Strike if you're attackers you can have 6 troops, 6 fast attack and 3 HQ (captain and comand squad), that equals to. 60 + 60 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 118 bikes, not counting the th/ss Terminators.

3670 points without upgrades, but including the White scars guy. Also just realised that normal bike squads can go up to 8 not 10. Scout Bikes go up to 10 so you can have 118 if you use them. If you use normal bikes it's 94 bikes.
