I started collecting Space Marines like 2 years ago, bought some models and sadly had to put my army on the side because of university. Now I have a lot more free time and recently got back into it, but need help building my army. Keep in mind that I already have some models done and absolutely want to use them all. Here what I already have:

15 tactical marines (I've included my 5 sword brethren unit in there)
5 assault marines
5 scout sniper
5 assault terminators
1 dreadnought


I've created about 17 army lists on HQ builder but I'm having a couple of different problems...mainly with my assault termies because it's obviously too risky to deep strike them, so they HAVE to ride a land raider. But putting them in a land raider means i can't take a 10+ crusade squad unless it's footslogging (which sound stupid to do in the 6th edition). So yeah I kinda feel bad playing BT and not using the big crusader squad...is it really that useful? what should i do...

My other problem is with my dreadnought....I can't seem to find which role to give him, my first idea was to keep his melta and put him in a drop pod so he can do damages behind enemies lines...but since i don't want to have to deep strike him on my first turn...i have to use another drop pod with a crusade squad inside...and I don't see the tactical advantage in doing so

So here's one of my latest list, tell me what you think, I'm a bit of a n00b...and sorry for my bad english. Thanks!
