I typically play BT and sort of found a niche there but wanted to try the good old 'nilla marines for fun.
Would this be somewhat competitive?

HQ:

Chaplain, TDA, storm bolter
Librarian, TDA, storm bolter, Null Zone

ELITES:

Terminators (x10), 2 assault cannons, 2 chainfists
Assault Terminators (x6), 3 TH/SS, 3 LCs

TROOPS:

Tactical squad, PW, PG, LC, rhino
Tactical squad, PW, flamer, LC, rhino
Tactical squad, PW, MG, LC, rhino

FAST ATTACK:

Land Speeder, MM, HF

HEAVY SUPPORT:

Devastator squad, 4 MLs, Aegis Defence Line, quad-gun


I was thinking of keeping the lascannons and the devastators behind the ADL to take out armor and fliers, the Libby will join the termies, the Chappy will join the assault termies, they will all push forward to create a big threat while the rhinos follow and provide protection to the combat squads.

Any thoughts?

Nothing exciting huh?

as much as i like shooty terminators.. they dont cut it now a days.. i would scarp the chain fists and just use them as a fireing line if you really wanted to

your chapln in assault terminator ( make them 10 unit because this is the unit that is a big death star unit ) squad also have 1 or 2 thunder hammers and have the rest lightning claws, or have the whole unit and hq with storm shield thunder hammer

libby in shooty squad for reroll to hit

tac squad pw metla bomb melta heavy bolter in rhino or in a firing line at agis def line with shooty termi

dev squad with agis is awesome

land speeder i would scrap that for more termis

Thanks for the feedback, good idea about keeping the 1 rhino in the back.

I was gonna use the land speeder as a suicide vehicle popping unit, deepstriking it. But I might scrap it for some more bodies.

Sadly C:SM libbies don't get the re-roll to hit powers. But we do get GOI and null zone. I lose the term armour on your chaplain, he already has a 3+4++. Lose the chain fists, rhinos and swap AC for CMLs. Have 5 TH terms with your chaplain. Lose the land speeder.

Get 5 Sternguard with DP and 4 combi melta, suicide them if there's a big target, 185 for a LR is a net win.

Get a storm shield on the Libby and have him gate your 10 normal terms about. Means if you want to assault with the you can fire all your storm bolters first.

So end of your turn 1, you will have 5 Sternguard and 10 terms in his half with 5 more TH terms running up, if you have points uou can get some preds for fun.
