Hey All,

I've been toying around with all kinds of lists right now, however this is the first Space Marines list I actually feel pretty good about at low points. Let me know what you think or any critiques.

Captain-
MC Power Sword

5x Company Vets-
--4x Plasmaguns, Powerfist
-Razorback
--Twin Heavy Bolter

5x Tactical Marines-
--Heavy Flamer
-Razorback
--Twin Heavy Bolter

5x Tactical Marines-
--Grav Cannon
-Razorback
--Twin Heavy Bolter

Predator-
--2x Heavy Bolters, Predator Cannon

Predator-
--2x Heavy Bolters, Predator Cannon

Swapping a predator out for a dreadnought may give you a bit of extra versatility in combat.

You could try experimenting with scouts as they can be quite good at taking down characters.

Other than that looking solid, hard to tell at this stage though

okay; here's my thoughts:

that's a lot of heavy bolters. these look to be strong in 8th, Good choices.

-company vets need to decide what field role they''re fulfilling. mega shooting output, meets an expensive fist that wants to be in combat. otherwise looks good. if you lose the fist you're not far off a rhino for the company vets...

My other thought was take the Powerfist off the Sarge and give the Captain a Relic Blade and Plasma Pistol.

I'll look into a Dread possibly for some CC power. I'm thinking either Lascannon or Assault Cannon possibly for shooting

I agree with losing the fist on the company veterans.

If you have the points relic blade/thunder hammer seem to be good choices as well as the plasma pistol on the captain.

Twin lascannon dreadnought will give some great long range firepower for multi-wound vechiles/monsters

Just out of curiousity are you running Blood angels? Otherwise I'm not sure the heavy Flamer in the tactical squad is legal?

I feel like you dont have enough anti big things. Grav cannons and plasma are pretty subpar against tanks.

Weight of fire only goes soo far.

i feel like switching a few of those razors into twin las or las plas would be better. or otherwise making one of those preds into a las pred.

otherwise i dont think a tac marine has access to a heavy flamer.

I really like the Relic Blade, think everything that can take it gets 3+ attacks so it is a pretty good investment. And it doesn't lower your WS. If you really want the S8 take a TH over a fist.

I would drop one of the predators and switch the other over to Lascannon sponsons. Then maybe put assault cannons on your Razorbacks. If you have some points a couple Storm Shields in the Vets can help you tank some bigger shots.
