Good day all,

I have a 4 way game tonight (2vs2), but do not have all my models with me at the moment. I am limited to the following:

Tanks:
3 vindicators
2 dread (2X TLAC)
1 Pred
2 Razorbacks (TLLas)
8 rhinos

Marines (special or heavy weapons):
14 meltaguns
4 plasmaguns
2 flamers
4 autocannons
8 missile launchers
5 heavy bolters
2 lascannon

Sgts/IC:
6 PF and combi-weapons
2 PW
2 X Libby/Sorcerers

Marines:
30 zerkers
15 plague marines
50 marines


I do not mind doing some count as and am open to following marine armies (C:SM, CSM, DA, BA, SW). I am asking for your suggestions of a list with the above models.... 1500pts.... not sure who I will be playing with (the others are 1 BA, 1 SW, on DE).

Awaiting some input, thank you all.

Using Codex: Space Marines I'd go for:

Librarian - 100

Tactical Squad (Meltagun, Missile Launcher) w/ Rhino - 210
Tactical Squad (Meltagun, Missile Launcher) w/ Rhino - 210
Tactical Squad (Meltagun, Missile Launcher) w/ Rhino - 210
Tactical Squad (x5, Serg. w/ Combi-Melta) w/ Razorback (TL-Lascannon) - 175

Dreadnought (2 x TL-Autocannon) - 125
Dreadnought (2 x TL-Autocannon) - 125

Vindicator - 115
Vindicator - 115
Vindicator - 115

Should be 1500.

I like that list, but keep them coming. Here is something I did quickly... CSM style...

Kharn
5 Chosen (3 meltaguns, 2 flamers) in a rhino
5 Chosen (3 meltaguns, 2 flamers) in a rhino
8 Zerkers (Champ, PF) in a rhino with combi-melta
6 PM (2 meltaguns) in a rhino
10 CSM (Asp Champ, PF, IoCG, 2 meltaguns) in a rhino
Vindicators
Vindicators
Vindicators

I think your proposal is better than this.....

Someone else gave me this concept (BA):

Librarian - 100
Honour Guard - Sang Initiate, 4 meltas, 4 meltabombs - 175
Razor - TLLC - 90

10 ASM - Fist, 2 meltas - 235
Rhino - 50
10 ASM - Fist, 2 meltas - 235
Rhino - 50
5 ASM - Fist, meltas - 135
Razor - TLLC - 55

Dread - 2 TLAC - 120
Dread - 2 TLAC - 120
Pred - Sponson las - 135

And then a SW try:

RP with Termie armour (LL, MH)
Dread (Rifleman)
Dread (Rifleman)
5 Wolfguards (3 combi-melta and PF, 1 termie with CML, 1 naked)
9 Greyhunters (melta, MotW) in rhino
9 Greyhunters (melta, MotW) in rhino
9 Greyhunters (melta, MotW) in rhino
5 LongFangs (4 ML) with razorback (TL/Las)
5 LongFangs (4 ML)

I really like your space wolve list. I would max out the long fangs and give one unit 2 lascannons just in case.

Your chaos list is good. I would swap one chosen with a squad of plague marines as they are awesome troop choice and drop the champion of khorne as it is expensive and you do not want to be charging dreads with the unit anyway.

For BA I would change to:
Librarian - 100
Honour Guard - Sang Initiate, 4 meltas, 4 meltabombs - 175
Rhino 50

Tactical squad with powerfist, combimelta, melta, missile launcher. 210?
Rhino 50
5 ASM - Fist, meltas - 135
Razor - TLLC - 20?
5 ASM - Fist, meltas - 135
Razor - TLLC - 20?

dev. squad 4ML
dev. squad 4ML
Pred - Sponson las - 135

This is as rhinos suit honour guard and packless assault marines suck.
