Hello didn’t know if this belonged in tactics or lore.

Just got a ton of space marine stuff so I decided to go 5th company fists
Im having a bit of trouble trying to load out my Imperial fist tacs van and stern guards, and I wanted to do them generally fluffy or mostly purpose built for city fighting.

Fluff wise, what would marines take when fighting within a city? I would assume flamers and meltas but otherwise bolters. I also wanted to load out my vanguard vets with riot shields (storm shields) and power weapons for clearing into buildings and such.

Otherwise any other general space marine/fist advice and ideas will greatly be appreciated.


Thanks

Prime white, for the love of god! Either that or Yellow at least, do not try to put yellow over grey or black. It makes me cry into my beer. Anyways, I would imagine marines fighting in a city using a mixture of melta bombs, flamers, melta weapons and Land raider redeemers/crusaders.

Bolters , combi-flamers , vindicator s , storm talons for over watch ( think black hawk down ) , not so much assault marines. , razor backs with assault cannons

vindicators, probably use rhinos and land raiders over drop pods for entering the city, maybe some missile launchers in the back to provide covering fire. Also probably snipers, running around harrying the enemy

Currently I have
75 marine bodies
15 assault marine bodies
20 terminator bodies
2 rhino/razor
2 drop pod
1 land raider
3 vindicator
And a hodgepodge of HQ tech marines and servitors to work with.

I think I will be making 2 sternguard with 2 combi-flamer and 4 combi-melta and 4 combi –plasma each
Then 4 tac squads with 3 being flamer/missile and one being melta/MM
Maybe a dev squad
TH/SS Terms
And I probably will convert the land raider into a redeemer

Edit: also i primed them brown
