So, used to play Space Marines, with the new codex release I'm considering getting back into them. I've been hashing out test lists for a few weeks in my head before settling on any purchases and just wanted to garner some community feedback on them beforehand. All are keyed to 1500pt friendly games with a bit of a competitive edge.

Black Templars

Spoiler:

Imperial Fists

Spoiler:

Salamanders

Spoiler:

So that's them. I'll toss up a poll if I can figure out how to get some fast opinions, but do please drop some text on the matter as well. Need some critique before the purchasing begins.

**obsidiankatana**

Any comments? Anything at all? I see the votes, but let's see some text to back them up.

I don't play marines, but fluff wise SALAMANDERS!!!

**obsidiankatana**

I'm a fan. The issue is, I'm a fan of Space Marines in general. If I had several hundred more dollars I'd buy everything I want to own, but alas, I cannot.

**Brometheus**

Imperial Fists. After experiencing what their Chapter Tactics can do, I am under the impression that bolters+devastators=awesome.

For the record, I hate them.

**Largeblastmarker**

salamanders is quite a solid list. maybe throw in some LoTD cuz they are great with melta.

**obsidiankatana**

The big decision I guess I'm making is whether to get a fleet of metuhl bawksez or some Stehl Rehn. I'm willing to hit both tactics up, but there needs to be somewhere to start. Also, of course, wanting to win.

Seems like the majority here favors the sons of Nocturne. Though here's a question - as opposed to the lists as written, what amendments would you make to improve them and way the vote?
