I wouldnt get a PF but maybe one or two melta bombs.

5x Man Scout Squad - 70 pts I think plain marines with a lascannon or something would be more durable w/ TFC he can throw these guys into cover w/ +2 to their cover saves. this unit has great survivability not to mention to upgrade them to your suggestion its ~40pts

Come on Feasible, that's 7 troops choices, you're slipping' lol

That list is nasty, it can do a bit of everything, why a captain over a chapter master incidentally?

Captain unlocks command squad, chapter master doesn't.

This is what I run at 1500

Kor'sarro Khan, Moondrakken 150
Command Squad, Bikes, 4 Grav Guns, Apothecary 210

5 Space Marines, 5 Bikes, 2 Grav Guns, Melta Bomb 140
5 Space Marines, 5 Bikes, 2 Grav Guns, Melta Bomb 140
5 Space Marines, 5 Bikes, 2 Grav Guns, Melta Bomb 140
5 Space Marines, 5 Bikes, 2 Grav Guns, Melta Bomb 140
5 Scouts, Sniper Rifles, Cammo Cloaks, Heavy Bolter with Helfire shells 85

5 Assault Marines, 2 Flamers, Drop Pod 95


Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought, 2 Twin Linked Auto Cannons, Cyclone Missile Launcher 200
Mortis Contemptor Dreadnought, 2 Twin Linked Auto Cannons, Cyclone Missile Launcher 200

1500

To get to 1850 I would add

Rune Priest on a Bike 135
10 Grey Hunters, 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Standard, Drop Pod, 205

Turn in my Assault Marine unit for a ThunderFire Cannon +5pts

pfff easy fix.
make the scouts a 10 man squad, then combat squad them when game starts.

Shhhhhhh!



To everybody else, thanks for your critique on my list and everything.....

Command Squad - I don't need a power fist as if this unit gets in combat without the Captain, it'll be dead. Melta Bombs would be nice, but I find them a luxury I can't afford

Scouts - Exactly what Nettik said.

Bikes - Grav isn't good enough for a combi, and it's way too expensive.


BTW, this is a list that I'm 13-0 with having won against screamer star (Barely a win, use of TFCs won it), Triptide, and Serpent Spam.

While that list looks great here is what i run and i am 10-0 right now:

Captain SoE Thunderhammer bike Artificer armor

Command Squad
bikes
apothecary
4 grav guns

2x 5 man bikes with dual meltas and combi melta

2x 5 man bikes with dual gravguns

1 ten men tactile squad with dual meltas and a combi-melta in a drop pod

2x storm talon with twl lascannon

1 stormraven with twinlinked lascannon twl multimelta

2 thunderfire cannons

I dont get why people dont take melta bombs on their sergeants. For 5 pts you have a chainfist attack you can use it against vehicles or characters for cheap. It gives the unit just enough threat where you question assaulting them with a vehicle or a squishy character that goes at IN1. just my 2 cents.

pretty good list but needs some changes.
stom talons should have skyhammer missile launcher, its just so good for its points, while las cannon is just expensive.
10 man tactical squad cant take 2 melta guns, re read the rules.
other wise its good
