Hi guys I'm looking to build a 1k list around silas alberec a captain from the bad an war who's a close combat badass with a mace like lysanders hammer. I don't know what should go into the list to support him though as I've never played good guy space marines before

Put him in a LRC with terminators and bum rush the opponent.

That would have the snag of being more than 60% of my points unfortunately

Assault marines and Scouts with BP/CCW

Well, you could go the standard method and do something like this...

1 Jump Captain Guy (The FW dude you mention)
6 Vanguard Vets w/ Jump Packs and a few power weapons

2 10x Tac Squads
3 10x Assault Squads

Throw in a Predator as desired, probably an Annihilator! Mix well and serve hot.

Roll the Captain around with the Vets, and use the Tacs to tie down objectives. Use the other AMs to soften up targets for the HQ to clean up.

Unfortunately though he's not able to take a jump pack, I could put him in a drop pod with vets though

Get a Land Raider or he won't make it into combat.

Ah see I thought we were going for an Assault Marine list, like based around the jump pack guys. I see now.

Well to be honest, the Land Raider and Termies are not must have. I do fine with my Honour Guard and Assault Marines, but you want to run a Captain, so barring either a CC oriented Command Squad, or again more Vets, the Termies are really your only other option.

Considering he is an Exorcist, you could run him with either BT tactics for Crusader squads to run with, or Charadon tactics to get better CC Marines to run with.

Second thing is he has a builtin Teleport homer, so having a way to get him down field fast on turn one, so you can deepstrike CC termies on his homer
