Can someone give me some tips on a good 1850 ultramarine list. All I have for HQs are a Chaplain with jet pack and two captains. Please help

I would suggest a little more information. Like gunline or holding? So many options, it would help to know your playing style.

I would like a nice anti- vehicle army. A lot of people use tanks at the shop i play at and i want to be able to hold up against them.

Oh and a land raider with Lascannons on the side. The terminators take that as Transport.

I am not sure about a chaplain without assault marines. But then assault marines are not that great. What's wrong with the best HQ in this game: Null zone librarian?

Thanks for the help guys!

Chaplains are kool in terminator armor with terminators. Not a bad sidekick to have in a command squad. But libby is best, like them in terminator armor too. Named captains are sometimes a good choice with certain builds. A regular chaplain is cheap. Can put 100 points into hq choice and have more points.

My build for 1850 with chaplain.
