So there is this comp tournament coming up and for some reason my Blood Angels are taking a beating on comp score even though they're super overpriced and under powered.
So i have decided that im sick of the Blood Angels taking the hit so ill go with my 'Fluffiest' Vanilla marine list which you can't argue is not fluffy as it is an entire company of marines as they show.
Anyway so here is the actual list:

1x Captain (Bolt pistol, boltgun)

1x Command squad + Standard banner + Apothecary

2x 10 man tactical squads + ML, bolt pistol chain sword sgts
4x 10 man tactical squads + H-Bolter, bolt pistol chain sword sgts

2x 10 man assault marine squads

1x 10 man Dev squads 4 Missile Launchers
1x 10 man Dev squads 4 H-Bolters

Comes to 1850 perfectly originally i was trying to decide between Iron hands and Imperial fists but i decided constant having potentially over 100 bolter shots re rolling 1's would be far better then 6+ Fnp.
So out of a 8 or 10 what comp score would you give for this list?

I would drop a tac squad and give the others some special weapons. Do you have any drop pods or rhinos?

i have them but i'd be better off dropping an assault marine squad to get some transports. though this list is more about my comp score then it actually being competitive

Alright so what about this then as an updated one which isn't the full company but has transports.

Captain (basic)
Command squads + Apoth & banner + Drop pod

2x 10x Tactical squads + Melta-gun + Drop pod
2x 10x Tactical Marines + H-Bolter + Drop pod
1x 10x Tactical Marines + H-Bolter
1x 10x Tactical Marines + Missile Launcher

1x 10x Assault Squad

1x 10x Dev marines + 4x H-bolter
1x 10x Dev marines + 4x Missile Launcher

It looks good, infantry armies work really well and its got a good mix of assault, dev and tac. I think the tac squads with mostly bolters is fine, especially if your playing them as Imperial Fists. I would say though that your assault squads probably need a boost, maybe a sarge with PF/PW or some special weapons thrown in. If assault marines have no special equipment then they only are useful against other basic infantry, which the tactical squads cover already (and quite well with their "bolter drill" rule).

To get the points for some equipment I would just drop a few guys from the devastator squads. Its good to have maybe 7-8 guys in a squad for the sake of absorbing woulds, but 10 is a bit much. Otherwise it seems like a strong list, the only major threat would be battle cannons (anything S8 or AP3) so be careful around Leman Russes and Defiliers. Because vehicles usually carry such strong weaponry, maybe you should try one assault squad with meltas to take care of any threats early in the game.

Assault squads can't take melta's unless you mean bombs?
I had considered taking some dev dudes out but i didn't want to mess to much with my 'fluff' army

Better tactical terminators than assault marines IMHO.

HAHAHA not in my life time, sorry but i personally Haaaaaaaaaaaaaate Tactical terminators.

Alright so what about:

Librarian + Auspex

Command squad: Banner, Apothacary, Drop pod, 4x Plasma-gun

2x 10 man Tactical Melta-gun, Drop pod
2x 10 man Tactical Heavy Bolter
2x 10 man Tactical Plasma-guns, Drop pod

3x Double Heavy Bolter Landspeeders

1x 8 Man dev squad + 4 H-bolters
1x 8 Man dev squad + 4 Missile Launchers

Comes to 1849

You have no captain. how can you take a cmnd squad??

Cause you can take one for any captain, librarian, chaplain in your army.

Oh right ok.

Anyone got an opinion on what Comp score i'd get out of 8 or even 10?
