ok, this is my firts list with space marines (I used to play with daemonhunters), and I decide to use a chapter with no mercy, trust your battle brothers, eye to eye and death before dishonor rules.

HQ: Master with plasma pistol, 2 light claws, terminator honors and iron halo
squad with doctor, champion with power weapon and combat shield, standard bearer and the sergeant.

elites: a dreadnought with twinlascannons, and a venerable dreadnought with assault cannon and a drop pod.

troops: 5 scouts with sniper rifles, 6 marines with a heavy bolter, true grid, furios charge and veteran with power weapon, and another unit exactly the same, but witha raorback with heavy bolter.

fast: 6 assault marines, with furios charge, and veteran with power weapon

heavy: 5 marines with heavy bolter, lascannon, plasma cannon, and multimelta.

what do you think? and thanks for your opinions.

Ok first you list has some basic errors in it. You cannot give a 2 Lightning claw character a 3rd 1 hand weapon (I do need to check on this but fairly certain that is true).

It also looks to me as if you have just used the models that come right out of the kits. If that is so then I understand you need to play with what you have.

what I would do to tighten up this list is to first get rid of the standard bearer in the command squad and replace him with a vet sgt. that has a fist. Second I would get 2 more models for that squad with meltas

The Dreads should be one of of 2 things TL Las + Missile or Venerable with Assault Cannon/Heavy Flamer. You are almost there.

Troops look ok Though I think you are waisting points of Furious charge on your tac Squads. With the Weapons they have True Grit and Countercharge should be fine. Also get Las Cannons and Plasmas in those squads save the heavy bolters for the Dev Squad

Fast looks good just give that vet a fist rather than a power weapon.

Heavy support is no good. You either want to go with 8 man and 4 missile or 8 man and 4 heavy bolters. You need to give your self a nice buffer with a dev squad as they will be getting shot to bits.

A Dev squad needs to focus on one single purpose and I think for your list as well as what you should have purchased the 8 man w/ 4 Missile would be good for you.

thanks a lot for your ideas, I'll change my list
