Librarian

Tactical Squad - Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon

Scout Squad - 4x Sniper, Missile Launcher, Camo Cloaks

Assault Squad - Flamer

This is my idea for a 500 point space marine army.
What do you think? Does this even fit into 500 points? Thanks

What about replacing the assault squad with a thunderfire cannon or dev squad...?

Off the top of my head, this comes to around 490 points, but I could be off by a bit.

To be honest, with the codex so close, any comments I can make are either outdated or pure specualtion, but in general, most things you have there are pretty certain to still be useful. Tacs, libby and scouts are all solid, and only set to get cheaper and get new rules. If you have the DA codex that should give you a rough idea of costs, if not then it's probably best to just wait a few weeks. If you want to get a head start with the models, then a box of tacs or scouts should keep you busy and will almost definitely be useable in the new codex.

The TFC is rumoured to remain unchanged, and is probably more useful than the assault squad at this level. Devs are probably too expensive to fit in at this level in the current codex, but I would consider them at 750+ assuming they drop to DA levels in the new dex. The other thing I would do here is add a LC to the tac squad in place of the PC, just to give a bit more AT.

Ok thanks for that, I will start a new thread with the dark angels codex. thanks
