I'm not an imperial player by any means, I'm just now starting to dive into 30k, but I thought I would try my hand at some 40k marines. I've always loved the look and fluff of the black Templars, but there is already a Templars player in our group so I decided to go with space sharks instead.

Here's a beginning list I threw together so I can understand the army and have some fun while I'm at it. Critique please, and let me know if anything is wrong and what can be improved. I've got everything here except for 2 drop pods and tyberos.

CAD
HQ
Tyberos, the Red Wake

Troops
The Red Bretheren (LC assault terminators) in LRC with MM and EA
5 man tac in drop pod with pistol/chainsword
5 man tac in drop pod with pistol/chainsword

Fast Attack
Xiphon Interceptor with flare/chaff

Formation: Skyhammer Assault
2x10 assault marines, evicerator, sarge with evicerator
2x5 devastators in drop pods, 4x grav cannons with amps, sarge with pistol/chainsword


The other option is to just take a double Skyhammer formation. I love Tyberos and his Red Bretheren, but they are extremely expensive. Double Skyhammer is simple, gets to combat immediately to trigger their chapter tactic, and seems really fluffy for a fast striking combat chapter.

2000 charcaradons formations
4x10 assault marines, evicerator, vet. sarge with evicerator
4x 5 devastators, extra ccw, grav cannons and amps, sarge with melta bombs and combi-grav.
