HQ
CM: Artifcer Armor, Sheild Eternal, TH, Jumppack - 245pts

Elites:
Vanguard x7
Jumppacks, 2x twin LC, 2x TH/SS- 318pts (CM goes here)

Troops:
10man tac squad, 1 meltagun - 150pts
10man tac squad, 1 meltagun - 150pts
5man scout squad, camo cloaks, snipers- 75pts
5man scout squad, LSS- 100 pts

HS:
Land Raider Ach- 325 pts

ADL w/quad gun - 100pts

Total 1494

Please help, first SM list, be brutal

I'd find points for rhinos for your tac squads. They can't get up close to use their melta.

Vanguard are kinda meh... Before the new codex they could at least assault on the turn they deep strike now they're just over priced assault marines... For the points ur paying you might as well get some termies or combat squad your sternguard in a drop pod

Yeah I am kinda on the fence about the Vanguard, but I wanted to be able to sweeping advance so I didnt want to take termis with the CM. I may drop thier numbers to 5 and use the extra points for a Razorback for one of the tac squads, leave the other one behind the ADL and switch the meltagun for a plasma or lascannon since they will be camping.

What do you think?
