Don't have my codex on me so I'm assuming combi-meltas for champions are 10 points.

Total: 51 meltaguns on 50 space marines. Initial thoughts were "yeah but what do you do against say tyranids?" Well, the rhinos can account for 40 bolter shots a turn, half of them twin-linked, so in a pinch I can rely on those, I suppose.

I wonder if this will be possible in the new codex?

It's certainly probably one of the most expensive in dollar value lists you could make. You get one meltagun Chaos Marine with every full box of 10.

I think this list needs more meltaguns...

Not necessarily, the OP can use the metal SM meltaguns.

There's also bitz websites where you can buy meltaguns for a couple bucks each.

As long as your rhinos don't blow up, you're good. But if you have to walk, then your opponent could just plink away at you with bolters from 18-24" away.
