So under my physical model limitations on transports I earlier today made a list that
can't win, then I just twisted it around and noticed I have a semi-working list that
still needs fixing. It's about a horde of marines crawling up the board with a LS,
assault marines and a gate librarian to catch the enemy off-guard. So, any suggestions
on how to improve it?

Librarian, null zone, smite(smite because my friends, being new players, overestimate 2+ saves) - 100 pts

2xTac squad, 9 marines, ML, flamer, sergeant w/PP, meltabombs &CCW - 190 pts each
(plasma pistols will be switched out for combi-meltas as soon as I get them)

Tac squad as above but replaced flamer with meltagun - 195 pts

Tac squad, 4 marines, sergeant w/PF - 115pts

Assault squad, 4 marines, sergeant w/PW & meltabombs - 120 pts

Land Speeder, HB & AC - 90 pts

total:1000 pts

i would take out that 5 man tac squad and put them in the Assault squad (just proxy), that leaves you with 25 points

The reasoning on this is a 5 man assault squad can be easily overwhelmed in combat but with 5 more guys thats 15 more attacks on the charge! And 5 man squads of regular marines rarely do anything, and for 115 you could get a better tank buster.

I like the 3 tac squads though, good stuff.

I'd take some more Long range vehicle popping weapons (autocannon, lascannon, or the like) for transports. you don't have much to get armor with, especially AV14, but to each their own.

Good Luck!

Thanks! My friends dont really use armor, especially the nids (obviously) so I don't need
any real anti-tank but I sure could try it out! Thanks on the assault marine thing btw.

Since they are friendly I want to come up and shake their hands after the battle. I also request loading the bolters with flowers.
