So,I'm struggling to find a list that I like using the new SM codex. I've tried a bunch of lists using the new chapter tactics. I really wanted to have a competitive Iron Hands list using a MotF,but Ironclads (in drop pods) die like bitches. So,I went back to my roots to using Ultramarines. Here are some of the units that I've had some success with.

Tiggy

Tac squads with rhinos,special weapons suited to taste, usually melta and plasma guns. Multi-melta or missile launchers suited to taste,also. Barebone sergeants,maybe a melta bomb.

10 TH/SS Terminators to beat face. Maybe some Ironclads in pods instead?

Storm Talons. I usually run these with no upgrades. How about multi-melta attack bikes?

Centurion Devastators with missile launchers and grav cannons. Thunderfire cannons have done pretty well for me,too.


Tigurius

10 TH/SS Terminators

Tac Squad,Rhino,Melta Gun,Multi-Melta,Melta Bombs
Tac Squad,Rhino,Melta Gun,Multi-Melta,Melta Bombs

Stormtalon

Centurion Devastator Squad,3 Devastators and a Sergeant, all with missile launchers and grav-cannons,Omniscope

2K on the nose.

Other than weapon variations and whatnot, what can be done to improve this list?

Thanks!

Personally, i would add 2 Thunderfire cannons, lose one tac squad and terminators and fill all other points with sternguard and MM bikes.

terminators are going to be a hit or miss, they will either A) win you the game by insta gibbing 1-2 things, or B) fail horribly and possibly cost you the game. If you know your going vs taudar or eldar, I would recommend dropping the terminateors, also, I advocate drop pods > rhinos quite a bit, as you can deny a turn of shooting with it, and purchase 1-2 empty pods to drop your whole army in the same turn
