<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list. 40k player, and I play Sace marines. Bear in mind I'm still in training a my local GW store, but I thought I'd have a go at an Army list. Basically, I wanted an army that could be fairly flexible, as in if I need help in a particualr spot on the field, or several spots, I could get some reinforcments to them. So, without further ado,

HQ
Captain (Uses Captain Sicarius' stats) - 200
Master of the Forge - 100 (This might change, depending on upgrades and such.)

Elite
Terminator Squad
Assualt cannon
- 230

Terminator Squad
Heavy Flamer
- 205

Terminator Assualt Squad
5 w/ Thunder Hammers and Stormshields
-200

Troops
4X Tactical Squad each w/Flamer, Rocket Launcher, Sergeants all w/ Bolt pistols, chainswords, and teleport homers.
-740
Scout Squad 4 w/Sniper rifles and camo cloaks 1 w/ Rocket launcher Sergeant w/ teleport homer.
-112

Heavy Support
Dreadnought w/ Lascannon
- 135
Dreadnought w/ Multimelta
-105
Whirlwind w/ extra armour and storm bolter
-110

Fast Attack
Assault Squad
Sergeant w/Powerfist
-125
Assault Squad
-100

Dedicated Transport
x2 Rhinos each w/ storm bolters and extra armour. (x2 Tactical squads will ride in the Rhinos.)
-120
x2 Drop Pods w/Deathwind missle launcher and Locator beacon. (Dreadnoughts will ride in these)

Total - 2612

If you haven't already guessed, it's the terminators and Dreadnoguhts that will be used as the main force to back up anyone who needs it. The two squads in rhinos and the assault squads will be my main force too contest objectives far from home. The other Tac squads will take the middle-ish ones, and the Scouts will defend my home objective. Of course, If they get into trouble, I can always send a squad of Terminators and/or a Dreadnought to help them out.

C&C welcome. But I'd like it if you think something needs changing if you didn't scream at me I've only just started remember, and haven't actually played a full game with only me controling the army. When we learn ow to play, we normally use a squad or two. Oh, and from that list above, I have two Tac squads, a Termintor Squad, and the Dreadnought with the multimelta. I got AoBR. I'm not using the Captain becuse I want to convert a diffrent one.

Collapse the Assault squad into 1 squad and the ranged termies as well. You also seem to have quite a few teleport homers for 2 squads, I'd drop a couple of them and get another rhino or DP.

Finally I'd get at least 1 tac squad melta weapons. You only really have your dreads as tank hunters, if you go up against a mech heavy army you're can bet that they will be priority number 1 as the rest of your army cannot do to much to heavily armored tanks.

Just some food for thought.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440754.page GMT First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440778.page GMT First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list.
Sicarius wrote:Okay. Yeah, I think I might do that with the Assault squads. I'd like to leave the Termie's as they are, but for games with kill points, I think I'll combine them. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing before I posted it. I think I'll get ride of the teleport locators in the drop pods. And I think I'll give one of the squads in the Rhinos a meltagun. Thanks


there is no disadvantage to merging the terminator squad. almost any 10 man SM squad can be split into combat squads, your terminators included. currently you are effectively givng your opponent one free kill point.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440850.page GMT First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440864.page GMT First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/222386/440928.page GMT First Time Space Marine player - 2600 list.
