Sounds good. However, if you do the termies, you'd have no use for the drop pod, as termies can't go into those.

The BA options sounds more like it. Also, the only transport terminators can get into are Land Raiders, and at 250pts they aren't worth it this early in your stage of learning how to Space Marine.

None.
They are troops. No character needed for that.
Dante makes Sanguinary Guard troops, however.
Also, do buy a Death Company or Sanguinary Guard box set too.
They are nice (San. Guard are beast  ), and you can kit bash with them a lot.

Thank's for the list! Is it a good idea to have assault squads in razorbacks? I thought that they would be more foot slogging.

My lists are more competitive, and thenoobbomb's list is better for learning how to play the game.  I'd suggest taking thenoobbomb's list so that you'd learn the ropes, and then you'll understand why taking jump packs away from assault troops and putting them in transports can be a good thing.

Allright, I'm waiting
NEwater's lists are indeed more competetive, and well, I'm used to playing casual games, so that is mainly my focus when creating army lists.
Also, you could swap those DC for a land speeder and do a 10 point upgrade on one of your other units.

Definitely more assault marines. Don't take two HQ at 1,000pts (my general rule is one HQ per 1,500pts or part thereof), drop the Captain and get an extra small Assault squad.
Otherwise it looks like a decent place to start, if a little light on anti-tank; for the 130pts you spent on the Captain you can get an extra five-man assault squad with a meltagun and get two meltaguns for the other assault squad.

Decent to get you know the rules.
But I'd still go for my list
You got the tacticals, assault, sang guard, captain, and anti tank in the form of the dread. Plus you could change the DC for a land speeder.

Replacement for the dread? Maybe a predator, but IIRC that is a tad more expensive, both points wise and money.

As much as I love playing sisters they are the most expensive army. Running 130$ minimum. ( 18 sisters, 5.50 per sister plus 2 superior, $9 per leader. and cannoness $14 per 1 to give you 2 troop choice and 1 HQ) that's without the white dwarf codex which is only available thru eBay or swap shop when someone has a spare set to sell. Best bet for money is the dark vengeance set and modify the dark angel half for chaos. Gives you a rulebook. A few troop choices and an HQ or 2 to use. For 160 (codex added)
