Ok, my first tourney, i neglected the hooby for 10 years and im trying to get back into it, so im somewhat nooby...

I was procrastinating on painting too.. so i locked my hordes of other models away, wrote this list, and finished it.

Here it is

Troops
10 Tac SM, FL, ML - 170 X 2

Heavy Support

1 Vindi with SB - 125

TFC - 100

10 Devs with 4 ML - 230

HQ

Vanilla Libby (smite and null zone?) - 100

Transports

Rhino wih SB - 45
RB with TLHB - 50

990 on the nose. Maybe stick a combi melta/flamer on a sgt?

Basically my thinking is, 1000 points, not much mega armour, ive got 6 nice ML, which i can CS the Devs and have two ML on either flank, and one with each tac squad giving me nice coverage for some side armour.

Space for 16 guys in transports, so one tac squad and a squadded 5 man team with the flamer and libby.

Im thinking its looking awesome for hordes, but not so good for mech.. the marine boyz always seem to handle themselves suprisignly well in assault, specially witha few flamers tossed in.

People always slate Devs though.. but i really like them. Maybe drop 5 and take a Dred?

Give me some input please folks, and dont be gentle, i respond much better to sticks than carrots!

Do you have any more tanks?
I would probably drop the TFC for a second Vindicator since one vidicator very seldom stick around to do any good.

Tacticals looks good but the transports shoudl not have stormbolters imo. Noth really worth thier pts, Id rather have a combi weapon on my sarge.

I would probably drop the other 5 devs for a second dread (or pred) aswell.

I'd take two rhinos or two razorbacks are target priority becomes easy for your opponent and taking the vindicators in pairs as tedurur mentioned would be a benefit.

yeah im playing with the idea of dragging a dred along, i really like Devs though, even though they get really slammed on here, it just seems logical to have alot of regular Space Marines in a Space Marine army.

Dreads bring alot more mobile fire power along with them then devastators do. For 125pts you can get a TL-AC and a PC or two TL-AC's that can move and fire or pop smoke if needed.

I would also suggest not takeing the Razorback with Heavy Bolters, they arent worth the increased cost and reduced transport capacity that you would get from a Rhino. Id go with a more heavy weapon on it.
