Been looking to get back into the hobby and get back into playing. Been looking at the new Space Marine codex and developing some ideas.
Personally I like themed lists and not into tournaments or heavy competitive games but still want somewhat of a chance. Most of the players in my area are Imperial Guard (Fully Mechanized), Space Marines (Both codex and Blood Angels), and Eldar.

I was looking at running a list based around the Fire Lords chapter so the list features lots of flamers.Also I hate fortifications and flyers so avoiding them as long as I can....
Wiki for Fire Lords --> http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Lords

--- HQ ---
Librarian
with Terminator Armour and Storm Shield

--- Troops ---
10 Tactical Marines
with Flamer, Combi-Melta, Multi-Melta
arriving via Drop Pod

10 Scouts
with Camo Cloaks and Sniper Rifles

--- Elite ---
Ironclad Dreadnought
with Heavy Flamer instead of a storm bolter
arriving via Drop Pod

3 Assault Centurions (yes I like the models!)
with Hurricane Bolters
riding inside a Land Raider Redeemer

--- Heavy ---
Stalker
Stalker
Thunderfire Cannon


Looking to keep with the theme as much as possible. Looking to run the Librarian with the Centurions and use the pyromancy powers for theme reasons, through looking at the pyromancy powers they are kinda luckluster so most likely would switch that out.
The Tactical Marines and Ironclad provide a nice deepstrike entry point with the Land Raider and Centurion rush the most threating targets. I think two Stalkers might be a bit much but I don't see a single one being good enough anti-air and I don't like paying so many points for missile launchers with flakk. Scouts and the Thunderfire provide supporting fire from cover and harassing abilities.

Thoughts?

Librarian wont fit in with the centurions if you have a redeemer, they take up three each, libby takes up 2 in term armor. make him power armor and he can fit.

Land Raider Redeemer has a transport capacity of 12 so it should fit the 3 centurions and a terminator librarian.

Through I did forget to note that I am tossed between using the Ultramarine tactics (since they are a successor chapter of theirs) or Salamanders (to better showcase the flames)
