The list:

Librarian, avenger, null zone

10x tactical, meltagun, missile, las/plas razor

10x tactical, meltagun, missile, las/plas razor

Land speeder typhoon

Land speeder typhoon

Land speeder typhoon, multimelta

Auto/las predator

The multimelta is just a points filler to get some more antitank.

Comments? Please?

Just AWESOME!!

Fire away and blast everything to pieces!!

I might consider taking Rhinos instead of Razors and a HB Predator as well. It is nice to cover an extra typhoon with a 13 AV.

If you play against someone running stern guard, wolf guard, 1k sons, BA or GK this list is going to fold. I'd look at dreads over speeders and get some more power weapons in. Now if you know you'll fight IG, Eldar and orks, this list might work.

keep in mind that space marines excel at mid-ranged shooting (10-18") the lasplas razorbacks are ok, but if they have a melta inside, i would give them the TL assault cannon, more shots while moving, and has a higher chance of taking out that leman russ/land raider (4 shots vs 1, i know the LC vs AC has been debated since the dawn of time) and also has some heavy infantry support (again, 4 shots vs 1-2 plasma shots)
if your going to keep the speeders, give them all at least 1 multimelta (they can move 12 and still shoot it, giving it a 36" range or 24" to get the extra D6) perhaps drop the predator and take a vindicator.

Then... how about?

Librarian, avenger, null zone

Dread, assault cannon

10x tac, melta, combi-melta, missile, fist, rhino

10x tac, melta, missile, fist, rhino

Typhoon speeder

Typhoon speeder

Auto/las predator

Not a big difference, but what do you think?

The fists are kind of the only power weapons I'd take for 1k, since CC
specialists are expensive, and weaker power weapons are unreliable.

The dread could be always put in a pod with a multimelta, but I think it fits better
as a counter-assault/support unit with an assault cannon.

heres what i would do: swap the 2 typhoons for tornadoes with double MM's that 4 multimeltas, then drop the assault cannon and take a drop pod on the dread...then you could even drop the meltas on the tac squads and just take flamers in case you run into a horde army
no one is expecting to see 5 multimeltas at 1k points

I honestly don't need multimeltas at 1k, the most AV I face is 1 AV13 or a few AV12,
so antitank isn't really a problem, and a max of 5 AV11 Against hordes, double tapping,
tankshock + frags or avenger and generally just staying away from them. I don't like melta
speeders/suicide dreads because they die so easily. Typhoons stay alive because they are
fast,´also the 48'' range helps.

Any other comments? I just feel I don't need the multimeltas.

EDIT: On the other hand, I can drop a typhoon and my meltas on the tacs and take 2
multimelta attack bikes, and swap the combi-melta for a combi-flamer.

I think your first list is better and has better synergy.

Marines always struggle at low points costs like these. I think the first list has enough shooty compared to what other armies can and will field.

I will try out both versions to see which one works better, will see!
