Let me know what you think. Any commments/criticisms(be constructive at least please) are appreciated.

Why 4 Missile Launchers on the Devastator Squad? I don't play Marines but I know that 2 or 3 Plasma Cannons, a Multi-Melta and a Lascannon are much better the Missile Launchers.

Why only 5 TH/SS guys? Might as well be 10 if you're going for that 1st turn assault gimmik.

4 Missile Launchers in a Dev squad gives them the most versatility. Either firing at infantry or pinging armor, it also keeps them cheap. Starting putting it other weapons the cost rises pretty sharply.

Remove devs and take some armour instead for 255pts you get 3 dakkapreds they take more punishment and deals alot more damage to. and those first turn assulters will get a pretty good beating when they are alone in your oponents lines,

I agree with above post, drop devs add armor of anykind a dread in a drop pod could be helpfull becuase your scouts alone arent that impressive for a turn 1 assault. Scouts and dread tie stuff up until your th/ss termies can get into the mix also 10 th/ss termies 3+ inv save everyone will waste all there shots at these guys which will give the rest of your army free regin.

I use a first turn charge list too, although it is a lot different. I use assault marines, scouts and termies with a gating libby as it makes the army so much faster and you can hit with a lot more force on turn 1.

As others have said, I would focus more on the assault aspect of it. Drop the devs, the tacs and take some assault marines, IMHO.

Good luck with it, I had a ton of fun playing my alpha strike marine list.
