I've been a CSM player for quite some time, and I started to built a Templar army last year, and now I'm switching those models to Ultramarines. Here's my first list (Phase 1) that I'm building for enjoyable games (I'm not a tourney player), however, I'd like to win sometimes.

Tiggy will get in the Razorback with the five tac marines and stay mobile. The Techmarine will bolster defenses on a piece of ruins I place in my deployment zone (middlish), then the scout snipers will have a 2+ cover and a 36 inch threat bubble, and they can sit on a deployment zone objective if I'm able to play my cards right. The other tac squad will move up in cover (hopefully) to take an objective. The Legion will deepstrike into the backfield and take out embedded troops, the Predator and the Dreadnought will light up stuff from afar (hopefully getting me First Blood) and the Techmarine can fix them when needed. The Starmtalon can hopefully do a bit of anti-flyer when needed or crowd control.

Anyway, let me know what you think. It's a little troops light, but it's only 1500 points, too. I plan to add more troops as I move to 1750 and 1850.
