So I've decided to stop being the mperiums b*tch (For now anyhow), and focus on buying my Tau and Lizardmen, so I was hoping for some help. I have the following
Rhino
10 Jump Pack Chainsword Death Compamy
5 Sanguinary Guard
Chaplain
15 Assault Marines
25 Marines

I was hoping for some help to make an 1000 point list from these

Ideas?

i would steer clear of DC and sanguinary guard in a 1000 point list tbh.

points are way too much for them, and neither will be scoring.

i would suggest a librarian and two 10 man squads of assault marines as a foundation.

librarian w/ jump pack, unleash rage, and shield of sanguinius.

2 x 10 assault marines w/ 2x meltaguns and sergeant with powerfist.

a couple of priests, with jump pack

and something for long range support i would say.

I agree with cmjs123.

I would go with the following:

Epistorlary w/ JP

10 Assault Sqauds with 2 meltaguns and PF

10 Assault Sqauds with 1 meltagun, 1 flamer and PF

2x Landspeeder Typhoons

2x Sang Priests w/ JP's and LC's

1000 pts on the dot

Falco Im not a fan of the speeder set up instead of the missiles take mm hf good times and 2 meltas on each assault squad. priests meh on pw but at this points level why not.

i like the HF set up, i was just going for more template options with the ML's.

"Make a list from these"

Rhino
10 Jump Pack Chainsword Death Compamy
5 Sanguinary Guard
Chaplain
15 Assault Marines
25 Marines

Got it...

The only HQ you have is the chaplain so you run him as a Reclusiarch and put him with an assault squad. That's 345 points without any special weapons in the squad. Ten tactical marines in a rhino is 220 more points with the free weapons. That's 565 and you have your mandatory choices covered.

I'd argue for the Sanguinary Guard in this army because at 1000 points they will be a vicious unit that not many will be able to face toe to toe. So that's 765 points.

You will need a priest to make the assault squads and/or the sanguinary guard more vicious, so you can take one of you assault marines and paint his helmet white or something to mark him. That's 75 points for a FNP and Furious Charge Bubble. Now we are at 840 points.

I'd say that three jump pack DC would not be a bad option here. You get to use more of the cool models that you have and they can run off on their own and kill some stuff You can give one a power weapon if you want.

You should try to use the few remaining points to put meltaguns and in the assault squad so you can have some anti tank shots. That or Powerfists.
So the only change you'll need to make is find a jump pack for your chaplain and mark your Priest with a White helmet or something else.

Reclusiarch w/ JP-155
Sanguinary Guard-200
Priest with JP-75
3 DC with JP-105
10 Assault Marines-190 (+ weapons)
10 Tactical Marines with Rhino-220

That should be a fun fast force for small games with some really killy units tucked in there!

Out of that good luck hmmmm but no complaining about it not being super killy.

Yea im too out of it and can you proxy the dc as assault marines or is it a what you see is what you get sort of dealio?

If you can proxy well then.

Reclusiarch as lib because why not.
2 10 man assault squads with pf and 2 meltas each.
then 2 sanguinary guard as 2 priests with jp
then give the lib a melta bomb or upgrade a squad to a th squad rather than a pf squad

ha skilllllzzz and if you cant proxy then good luck trying to figure something out

I find the hf more effective personally because more mobile and it messes up the soft units hiding in cover holding objectives and if its not close enough to them hf can deal wounds pretty well and a mm well who dosnt like busting a tank and who shoots at speeders they area little and silly until they earned their points back and then well what more can you ask for.

Missiles are nice if against power armor I shoot crack at marines if nids green skins etc then frag good times (try 3 squads of 4 missile launcher devs at 1750 with all jump packers it hits hard )

sorry for being off topic

I would replace the DC with another 5 man Assault Squad (using all 15 of your models). DC are a point sink if your not taking the DC Dread, they also dont count as scoring and for the same point value you can get 2 extra bodies that are scoring. If you can proxy, use the DC for Priests and the Chaplain as a Libby. Fill out the rest of your list with PF's and Melta.

Libby (chaplain Counts as) w/ JP
Sanguinary Guard w/ PF
Priest w/ JP
5 Assault Marines, PF, meltagun
10 Assualt Marines, PF, 2x Meltaguns
10 Tac Marines w/ Rhino

or

Libby (chaplain Counts as) w/ JP
Priest w/ JP
5 Assault Marines, PF
10 Assualt Marines, PF, 2x Meltaguns
10 Tac Marines w/ Rhino
10 Tac Mairnes w/ Rhino (if you can get another one.....)
