MM is still an amazing weapon in 6th edition. At least, when it moves and fires. I don't much care for
MM on troops.
I know you're right man, I do. It's just that from chapter house (I know it's silly, but asthetics are really important to me) the 3 attack bikes, plus the normal bike for the priest, plus the land raider iconoclast conversion kit that I'd just have to get, plus shipping from the US is something like £80. It's just a lot at the moment. But I promise I will come back to them in a few months. I've probably actually got the best part of 2000pts now lying around in bits and on sprues. So once I've gone a few months without buying anything new, I'll go back and look at them. The more I look at chapter houses website, the more I like them. They'll probably arrive eventually once I'm up and running and have a good core list built, painted and playing.

As for
mm on troops, I have the devastator box, so I'll have heavy weapon options to mess about with.

I'll have another dreadnought, terminators, some various alternative weapon options, another speeder with assault cannon (the old metal ravenwing one). Got the severin loth model for another libby (maybe a "counts as" Meph). Got a
jp chaplain somewhere. So I should have a bit to play with, should have options for a few different lists. But i think this is what the core will be based around; Jump troops, drop pod tacticals or dreads, and land speeders. Thoughts? Reasonable, even though not totally ideal? Not too bad?
