What do you think of this for someone who's trying to start small and cheap :

Chaplain : Combi-Melta, Jump Pack
Total : 130

Tactical Squad x10 : Meltagun, Combi-Melta, Power fist
Rhino : Extra Armour, Dozer Blade
Total : 265

Tactical Squad x10 : Meltagun, Combi-Melta, Power fist
Rhino : Extra Armour, Dozer Blade
Total : 265

Assault Squad : Flamer, Power fist, Combat Shield
Total : 140

scrap the combad shield and add a melta and mabe lascannons or one of those free heavy wepaons

Are you taking any heavy weapons on your tactical squad. If you are, I would suggest multi-melta's or missile launcher's.

Okay so what about this :

Chaplain : Combi-Melta, Jump Pack
Total : 130

Tactical Squad x10 : Meltagun, Missile Launcher, Combi-Melta, Power fist
Rhino : Extra Armour, Dozer Blade
Total : 265

Assault Squad : Flamer, Thunder Hammer

ah that makes your assult squad much scaryer and why not 2 mm or 2 miss lanchers

It was to have more tactical options on the field
For example : I know Orks tend to come in hordes and with mechanized hybrid list (their trukk spam list if I'm correct ?)
In this case, I should have as much anti-tank and anti-horde options as possible no ?

I agree you should have both but the missile launcher can fire krack and frag grenades. I would go with 2 missile launchers. I'm not a huge fan of Meltaguns on tacs and at this point level you will see 1 maybe 2 tanks (except orks) and I find plasma great at this level because they can knock out light tanks and heavy infantry.

I might toss the RAS and grab a Pred with AC/LC config.

I would take the dozer blade's and possibly extra armor off the rhino's to add more assault marines.
