The title says it all. I have found ways to mech up nearly every slot for vanilla Marines, except HQ. This is a very cut-down version of a Marine tactics article I did.

For HQ, I'd say maybe a Master of the Forge so you can get more Dreads.

For Troops, I go with 2 Tactical squads and take Razorbacks (las/plas).

Elites, it's a Dreadnought, a Techmarine and a Terminator squad with a Land Raider as a Dedicated Transport.

Fast Attack, a Land Speeder squadron of 3. I take them with Multimeltas and go tank hunting.

Heavy Support, it's a Lascannon Predator, a Vindicator and a Dreadnought if I've got Master of the Forge. If not, it's usually a Land Raider.


The biggest drawback of this list is objective battles. Anti-vehicle is the Land Speeders, Predator and Dreadnought, depending on how it's kitted out. On Dreadnoughts, I'm not a fan of the multimelta/DCCW combo. I prefer las/ML or autocannon/assault cannon.

Thoughts?

I'm confused. What exactly is the question?

The OP put up a mech marine list and is asking for your opinion.
