i have a salamander force but i have no idea what to get next heres what i already have

vulkan He'stan- goes with a tactical squad

captain- artificier armor, thunder hammer, plasma pistol,jump pack goes with assualt marines

10 tac marines - plasma cannon and flamer

10 tac marines - plasma cannon and flamer

dreadnought- plasma cannon and heavy flamer

5 assualt marines- plasma pistol

devastor squad- 3 lascannons, missile launcher and seargeant with power fist and plasma pistol

i was thinking of some vanguard veterans to go with the captain and i had a idea to get sniper scouts and telion i know hes ultramarine but
i had a theory that the salamander scouts were on a long mission and requested the help of telion from calgar. what do you guys think?

vangaurd vets sound good, i suggest giving them jet pack, thunder-hammers and storm shields. expensive though.
maybe jet packs sgt with thunder hammer and vets with lightning claws or pw. maybe assault terminators with hammers. vindicator, all lassocannon predictor, land raider big flamey one.

How about starting with basics and getting some rhinos for the tacs, and since your captain runs around with ASMs, you should probably get the squad to 10 men so they don't die instantly when shot at. You should also move the devastator sergeant to a tac squad so the power fist makes sense, and lascannons should be on tacs too, so they are cheaper. After that I suggest going by your playstyle, with predators, land speeders, sternguard in a pod or anything, that fits your style.

Another issue with this list is the complete lack of anti-tank weapons. You really have to pray not to face tanks/dreads right now, so you should get melta. IMO best melta-delivering systems are: A) Sternguard in a drop pod - combat squads, special ammo, and 5pt combis make them a wonder, even though they might be a little expensive. B) Dreads in drop pods - multimelta dread, or an ironclad with a meltagun in a pod is really a pain to get rid of, and can (unless with unlucky scatters) get a melta shot at a tank before anyone can even try to take it out. C) Multimelta attack bikes - a lot of people don't like them but they are fast, easy to hide, and can move 12" and still shoot the multimelta, (24" threat range) so I like them

Just my thoughts fr now...

Vanguards are good on paper, but in practice they are too expensive and unreliable to actually be useful. General opinion is that autocannon/lascannon sponson predator is a lot better for the points than a full lascannon predator is. Also redeemers have a way too short range to be really useful, they end up in enemy melta range too easily and get blown up.

okay heres what im getting soon
5 more assualt marines to make squad ten
a vindicator
assualt termies but only two have hammers ill try and get another
10 more tac marines
venerable dread
and maybe a predator or land raider
thinking of sternguard
not so sure on the vanguard vets though i think ten asm are good enough
i am also thinking of drop pods, drop pod dreads are so kickass


so ill be putting vulkan in the termie squad, gunna get at least one more melta gun, DEFINETLY gunna put devastor seargeant in tac marines and are you sure about putting the lascannons in tacs ? my devastors are tank huntersand plasma cannons really wouldnt work with them.
