Im not a big fan of codex marines but the local shop is doing a classics battle type, Orks, Nids and marines. 500 point lists. so i figured id give it a shot and what better place than to get CnC than from the worlds greatest Warhammer forum. ;D

HQ: Captian, Relic Blade, Combi-melta-125

Troops: 10x Tact squad 1x ML, 1x plas, 1xpw-185
Troops: 10x Tact squad 1x ML, 1x plas, 1xpw-185

Personally i would rather go with a flamer over a plasmagun, especially against orks and nids

Not a very exciting list, you will be massivley outnumbered. are there any restrictions as to what you can take?

Also, I'll second the flamer over plasma gun. You may even consider going with a heavy bolter over a missile launcher.

Maybe run a cheap librarian (65 point hero! Win!) to free up points for an attack bike of landspeeder (or maybe a rhino for exra protection)

What would you suggest i fill the points gap with? power fists?

I am limited on what i have spare bitz for, Marines is all i can field, mech and pods are ouf as i do not have any. Its not super important but I am liking the idea more and more, I can pretty much do a libby or captian hq with 2x 10 man units of marines.

With those limitations you may as well keep the captain. I would fill the points gap with artificer armour for the captain, or veteran sqt upgradet for the tactical squads.

Librarian (120pts)
Mastery Level 2, Terminator Armour, Force Axe, Storm Bolter

Tactical squad (80pts)
Heavy Bolter

Tactical squad (80pts)
Heavy Bolter

Bike Squad (120pts)
X2 extra bikes, grav-gun

Thunderfire Cannon (100)

This is how I run my 500 point games and it works well.
