SPACE MARINES @1750

Commander Master w/ terminator armor, storm bolter & powersword~120

Terminator Command 1x4 w/ assault cannon~180

Tactical 3x5 w/ heavy bolter~240

Tactical 3x5 w/ missile launcher~255

Dread w/ assault cannon, storm bolter, searchlight~106

3x Pred. Annihilators w/ lascannon sponsons, searchlights~438

LS Tornado 1x2~160

LS Typhoon 1x2~140

I have 111 points remaining.  Looking for suggestions that would best complement the above list.  These are some initial thoughts:

Veteran 1x5 w/ lascannon, flamer, tank hunters~111

Librarian w/ fury of the ancients, bolt pistol, teleport homer, auspex~111

Librarian w/ bolt pistol, familiar~111

Dread w/ assault cannon, storm bolter, searchlight, extra armor~111

Librarian would be good idea, hood and Fury are nice tools for GT. Personally, tweaks I'd do:

1) drop take 3 single tornados (+60)
2) remove 3 search lights (unlikely to see more then one turn for one round of nightfight at GT) (+3)
2) add assault cannon to command squad (-20)
3) now you can afford terminator epistolary with fear and fury (-154) or jumpack version if you want mobility.

Hope that helps

I figure the searchlights gotta be a "must have".  It only costs 5 points to equip all vehicles and it beats not being able to see more than 18" in the first turn of a dawn assault game.  It affords my shooty list the advantage.

I don't have much experience using libraians.  I can see how useful they are against eldar.  But it seems their impact can be minimalized by savvy players. 

What do people think of that "fury of the ancients" power.  It seems like it can be useful.

Joe, I think Winterman's got the right idea. Except that I agree with you about Searchlights. Well-used, they can be worth it even if you only see a single turn of Nightfighting in the tournament. Especially in conjunction with having your Preds deployed back.

Otherwise he's dead on. The second AC= must have. Fear and Fury are both amazing, and having the psychic hood gives you some protection both from Farseers and from other people's Librarians.

What psychic powers exactly are effected by the hood?
