So a while back I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't purchase any additional units for my marine army until I got everything I owned painted. Now a year and a half later after much blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears) I have finally painted everything. Now I'm looking to pick up some new units to expand my army. I currently own the following:

1 Captain w/Thunder Hammer
! Captain w/Power Axe and Storm Shield
1 Librarian
! Chaplain in Terminator Armor
5 Assault Terminators (4x Hammer/Shield, Sergeant w/Lightning Claws)
10 Tactical Marines w/Flamer and Missile Launcher
10 Tactical Marines w/Grav Gun, Sergeant w/Grav Pistol
10 Tactical Marines w/Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon, Sergeant w/Plasma Pistol
10 Tactical Marines/Flamer, Missile Launcher
5 Scouts w/Sniper Rifles
10 Assault Marines w/2 Plasma Pistols, Sergeant w/Power Axe
5 Devastators w/4 Missile Launchers
Predator w/Twin-linked Lascannon, Lascannon Sponsons
Land Raider Crusader
Land Raider
4 Rhinos

There are very few flyers at my gaming store, so I'm not too worried about needing to take AA, although I'm not opposed to maybe picking up a flyer, and if it helps at all I usually use Ultramarines Chapter Tactics

Any and all help is appreciated.

Fire Raptor. Always.

Thunderfire Cannons are quite a good choice IMO

First, grats on getting that all painted. I demand pictures!

Second, consider formations. It looks like you have the demi company, but not enough for an addition formation to push you into a full gladius.

The 10th company doesn’t cost a lot of points, and you have 1 scout squad already. Picking up some bolter/CC scouts in a LSS, and then one more unit of scouts to taste (either bikes, another sniper squad, or a second LSS squad) makes for a fun little cluster of units. They also double nicely as the mandatory troop picks for a CAD.

The 1st company vet force is another good one. You already have the assault terminators. Grabbing two more squads of vets will add some punch to your list.

There is the 3 LR spearhead. I’ve not played it, as I only own one myself, but it could be fun and your are 2/3 there.

You are over halfway to fielding a full battle company. It’s crazy, but fun.

With the exception of the one PC (DV?) all you have for heavy weapons are MLs. Grabbing a new dev box will give you a lot of options, and would be worth it.

You might want to look into some of the optionals in the demi company. Picking up a command squad could be useful, and dreads are one of my personal favorite kits to put together.

I would either:
1- Complete some formation as suggested ^^
2- Buy some Centurion cuz they are useful and nice looking (depending on opinion for sure)
3- Buy a Thunderfire Cannon cuz it's one of those things that fit well in any list.
