Nobody yet uses WW in my FLGS, I guess the marine players here does not find it competitive enough.

It's no secret; It's a very widely-known build.

Fill heavy slots with predator destructors
Fill elite slots with dual AC dreads (or I personally refer multimelta dreads--no pods needed)
Fill fast slots with typhoon speeders or MM/HF speeders or MM attack bikes

Here's a couple of sample lists I use. I recently switched the lone whirlwind over to a destructor--I'm generally happier with the destructor--and switched the one dual-AC dread to MM/DCCW

Your fast and elite slots supply the antitank, while your heavy slots do antipersonnel (AC dreads can do either). Also you can put LC razorbacks in troop slots for additional antitank, or just equip tac squads in rhinos with melta weapons.

Whirlwinds kinda fail. I would rather take a vindicator.

@Flav - Thanks for that. I don't play a lot of marines players, so I don't often see the high-powered vanilla marine meta.

Incidentally, I dig your Raven Guard. The Libby especially is well-done.

Thanks for the compliment. I actually had to re-do my librarian's skin tones as pure white, when I found out from the fluff that Ravenguard marines have a mutation that makes them turn white as they get older. Kinda like Salamanders in reverse. I need to update my pics.
