At the minute in my marines army I have 25xTactical Marines, 10xTerminators (inc. captain), 10xAssault squad with jump packs, Chaplain, Captain Sicarius, Marneus Calgar, A devastator squad and the Legion of the damned squad (4xmarines + 1 sergeant). What do you recommend for my next buy? Im thinkin probably a dreadnought or land speeder or some type of vehicle.

Three predators? Either cheap for the amount of firepower they have (predator destructor) or expensive, but able to destroy most vehicles in a single turn (predator annihilator). Either way they're very underappreciated.

An ironclad dreadnought? I really like the look of those. Or maybe marines on bikes.

Anything with an AV.

I agree. Mech is king now, and you will be left wanting without some for yourself.

Ok thanks for the replies and input its much appreciated and needed!

Dreads are great ways to add some effective heavy weapons to a list. AC/AC or AC/PC dreads are redicusly effective. Predators are IMHO the best tank per point in the game, an AC and 2 HB for 85 points is an amazing deal in my book.

Indeed it is, Catyrpelius. Even Predator Annihilators aren't that bad for their price. A devil dog with multi-melta isn't that much cheaper, but it has less armor, shorter range, fewer shots (two normal shots, as opposed to two shots and one twin-linked one), and lower BS... and lower strength against units immune to melta.

Forgot to mention i got 8 Scouts aswell and was wondering if anyone knows if Sgt telion is worth getting? Also going to settle for the dreadnought i think but should i go venerable, iron clad or normal?

Purely for looks I prefer the Ironclad myself. For yourself I guess it depends on what loadout you want to go for.
