Pretty much every mini i have so i cant change much till i buy more. I am aware that 10 man termies should be two 5 man squads, and not shootie but its what I have.

What codex did you build this from? It looks like vanilla marines, but Dreadnaughts aren't heavy support.

yea supposed to be vanilla. I wasnt sure . I used battlescribe and it was a choice in HS and elite. Either way I changed it to elite.
1 other question , should I leave off a terminator or two and make the rhino a razorback?

Actually dreads are elite choices in the vanilla marine codex. Unless you take the Master of the Forge as an Hq. But you've got 2 open elite slots so your list is still legal. I think you will struggle against a mech army. Your units are pretty squishy with no transports but if thats what you have to work with, then thats what you have :-) By the way which unit is the chaplain going with? I've used a chaplain with a JP with assault marines before and had pretty decent results....well decent for assault marines anyway. I would suggest this if you are planning to combat squad the termies, as the chaplains rerolls wont be as big of a deal in a 5 man squad.

Edit- i guess i took to long to post :-) also i apparently missed the JP on ur chaplain so forget i said anything lol.

Update to my list i have also bought 1 5 man sternguard unit, a pedro kantor counts as, and a command squad and a scout with sniper . I still haven't decided on what the list will look like, any suggestions?
Should i still take the chaplain with jumppack, or the captain?

I think you need to buy some transports or play at lower points levels. You are stretching your list at 1,500 and relying on those terminators to do everything.

Tac squads on foot are not great - you need some transports for them.

MM dread really could do with a drop-pod - or change his weapon arm.

If your gonna go for a Doom Eagles army i think using the Blood Angels codex would be the way to go. Think of all the assault marine goodness the Doom Eagles are made for

@riddick - friends have said the same thing about the BA dex ......but it clearly states they are Ultramarines. Im a fluff based player so I feel obliged to use vanilla.

@ ruminator- i have one Lazorback but the last three times ive used it it dies turn one and is a waste of the pointsI am able to take a second cyclone for the points.

Well having only one vehicle it will be number one priority.

A libby would be better to combat all the BA, SW & GK silliness. The chap is the least of the HQ choices.

Deathshead420 wrote: * Chapter Master Pedro Kantor (175pts)

Pedro is only good for really spamming SG, or buffing *many* units for the h2h bonus, and you don't have that quite yet. I'd just run one HQ for now (libby).

Deathshead420 wrote: * Dreadnought, Multi-Melta, Storm Bolter

The HF is better than the StormB, considering most things get saves vs the SB, but no GEqs can handle the HF, nor being assulted after. Extra Armor is good too.

I feel that SG are a shooty unit. Their great ammo options are their draw, but so is the combi-options (so take more, like one guy each?). Also, 5 guys isn't enough for any power armored SM unit.

Sarge should have the Pfist from the SG crew. Buy the bits for a meltagun to replace the flamer.

The Combat Shield looks cool, but isn't worth the points. And as stated earlier, 5 guys don't hold up too well.

I second (third?) the Rhino advice from the other posters as your next purchases.

@all -thanks for the advice .....not sure why im fighting rhino's/RB's.
Working on more combi's and melta.

One bad thing about finecast you only get one weapon option combiplasma/melta.

@ brotherekose- thats a good idea to use one of the SG as a sarge with PWR fist for the tac squad.
I will try to change the SB on the dread to a HF.
