Hey guys, here is an example of a Space Marine list that I've been running recently in both casual and tournament play. I consider it a fairly balanced force and am interested to see what others think. It features a fair amount of redundancy while also covering a lot of bases and fielding an interesting mix of units to boot.

This is obviously a rather flexible army so there is not really room for full explanations of unit roles, but the primary role of most units should be fairly evident-- the Librarian supports the army, the Dreadnoughts provide fire support and counterassault, the Tactical Marines take objectives and shoot or assault as needed, the Scouts outflank, etc.
