This is an 1850 list for an RTT next week. I'm trying to get some feedback as to wether this list will stand a chance. It's supposed to be fluffy however, so I'm not trying to make a really strong list, just something that won't lose on turn two.

Keep in mind these are about all the models I have to work with, so any changes are going to be to wargear or reorganization.

Traits

Advantage - Uphold the Honor of the Emperor

Disadvantage - Have Pride in Your Colors

HQ

Master - 145 - Powerfist, Storm Bolter, Terminator Honors, Iron Halo.

10 Marines - Command Squad - 236 - Vet. Sergeant w/Power weapon, Apothecary, Company Champion, meltagun, flamer.

Reclusiarch - 111 - Bolt pistol, Jump pack, Bionics

Elites

Ven. Dreadnought - 130 - Heavy Flamer, Extra Armor.

Troops

10 Marines - Tac Squad - 190 - Vet Sergeant w/Powerfist, meltagun

8 Marines - Tac Squad - 151 - Vet Sergeant w/Power weapon, flamer

10 Marines - Tac Squad - 185 - Vet Sergeant w/Power weapon, plasmagun

8 Marines - Tac Squad - 165 - Vet Sergeant w/Powerfist & Combat Shield, meltagun

Fast Attack

10 Marines - Assault Marines - 280 - Vet Sergeant w/Powerfist, Meltabombs, 2 Plasma pistols

Heavy Support

6 Marines - Devastators - 170 - 4 Missle Launchers

Whirlwind - 85 - Castellan Missles

Total - 1848

Okay, it is a nice list and I had a hard time trying to modify it.

1. Drop the Master's stormbolter, powerfist and iron halo. Give him a powerweapon,boltpistol and combatsheild. Since he is in a squad he has plenty of friends to keep him safe. Saves 29 points.

2.Drop bionics from the Chappy and give him frags. Saves 4 points

3.Drop combat sheild from Vet Sgt in the 8 man squad. He has friends, don't worry. Saves 5 points.

4.Drop melta bombs from assault marines. This is an anti-infantry unit with the Chappy guiding them. Saves 20 points.

5.Upgrade the Ven. dread with TL-las and Rocket launcher. Give this guy Tankhunters.Think long range S10 & S9 goodness. Give him Smoke launchers. This is your only tank.  Spends 33 points.

6. The Devs need two more bodies to protect the rockets. Spends 15 points.

7. Drop one man from the Command squad and put him in the Dev squad and pay points for another. See point 6. Spends 0 points.

8. Leaves 10 points for a Plasma pistol for that Assault Sgt.

i see one major problem In either list there are almost 40 marines with no transports or infiltrate and none of them have more than 24 inch range, I would also switch the missiles on the WW 1 castellan mine per turn wont affect movement that much, and it wont hurt as much as the others missiles might especially against a static army. Good luck though.
