K, I have only just got into the game and as such have only bought purdy models, im thinking of reorganising my UltraGrrs into a mech type army. So any advice.

Note: Whilst I want as mech as possible cost is always a factor. Because of this I would like to incorporate what I have when possible.
I already have to following

Captain - AOBR
Chaplain - (Jumppack/Backpack)
Dreadnought - AOBR (Assault cannon/Multi-melta/Lascanon/Hurricane bolter/(DCC + Storm bolter/Thunder hammer +meltagun))
Dreadnought - Assault cannon/DCC + Storm bolter
termies - AOBR
Assault squad - (JumppackBbackpack) Sgt has storm shield + (power weapon/thunder hammer)
approx 20 x Marines - Bolters
1x Marine - Meltagun
1x Marine - Plasmagun
2x marine - Flamer one has Flamer + Bolt pistol, dont ask.... but he looks cool
2x marine - LC
2x Marine - HB
2x Marine - PC
1x Marine - MM
3x Marine - ML
1x Sgt - AOBR
1x Sgt - PF/Plasma pistol
1x Sgt - chainsword
1x Sgt - Plasma pistol/Chainsword
1x (Rhino/Razorback) ((LC/HB)/Stormbolter and/or HK missile)
1x (Rhino/Predator) ((LC/AC)/(LC/HB) and/or stormbolter)

() are magnetized options
As I said above I would like to use what I can to make a good mech army although I do realise that GW are gonna smile when they see me coming.

Thanks



Right im quite sure I've fixed all the spelling mistakes

For starters, put things in things. If you have transports, use them, though if you have a Predator I'd go with that rather than keeping it a Rhino.

If your making a Space Marine Mech , you Truely can't use RazorBacks , to expensive in the long run . The most sucsessful Space Marine Army are those i can't shoot the hell out of before they get close , I.E Drop pod or a gak ton of Assualt Marines

.thanks for the input but I like the idea of a mostly mech list. lots of drop pods sound cool and Im sure I can get a sprue to change my Razorback into a pred. but what else.
Assuming I had a 2000pt marine list, what kind of mech list could I get from that

Well it's not that hard really
Decide on an HQ you like and "tailor" the mech army around it (like Vulkan with pods, dreads etc)
Or take the universally useful Libby and three vehicles in each FOC slot

Libby
2-3 tac squads with Rhinos
2 dreads, 1 sternguard squad with Rhino
3 Landspeeders (or you can swap one for the new Stormtalon)
3 Predators

You might even have some points left to play with at 2000

Cheers!!

Just got buy the codex, and post an actual list. This is the 40k Army Lists forum for feths sake. Thanks.

I would not buy the codex. This close to 6e I'd wait for the new rules and wait for the new codex.

Borrow one for now or use AB.

A Master of the Forge army is a nice way to mechanize your army as you can take Dreadnoughts for both your Elites and Heavy supports slots.

??I have the codex.......pg 54 first chapter 8th word= falls

And your right this is the Lists forum which is why me as an inexperienced player is asking advice on a good mech style list
