True, you can't do much to mech Eldar because they can dance around outside your multi-meltas. If you can have a gunline with meltas up front, and the autocannons at the rear of an echelon, you can balance out your effective range. Eldar have some nice 36" heavies, but the business is within 12"-24". The real problem is melta vs. Energy fields... also hitting anything with those hammers.

You could take on static/balanced Tau lists pretty alright though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/459989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/459989.page GMT Re:My Very First Serious Marine List

As you can see, I ditched one 5 man Terms. The current Terms will exist to be a human shield for old Sicarius. I added an Attack Bike Squad because I felt we needed additional speed. This way they can use a Heavy Bolter if I can't down infantry or a melta if I really need that extra vehicle killing power.

As for Vehicle killing power, I also added a Predator created entirely for that purpose(and to give Sicarius and his Terms a metal shield to hide behind as they creep up to the field), as well as a Devastator Squad working purely long range to blast a few holes in some tanks.

The Tac squads gained Rhinos as per everybody's advice, though I worry with too many troop carriers they'll just get picked off by railgun happy Tau or what have you.

Anyways, yet more feedback would be greatly enjoyed, ladies and gents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460280.page GMT Re:My Very First Serious Marine List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460615.page GMT Re:My Very First Serious Marine List http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460628.page GMT My Very First Serious Marine List

Any more suggestions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/460707.page GMT My Very First Serious Marine List
I'd take some meltaguns, MMs are poor as far as mobile anti-tank goes. With Vulkan I think it is worth taking combi-weapons on your tacticals as well. You should also consider a ride for the terminators and Vulkan. A Land Raider gives that and draws fire and/or blocks LOS to your rhinos.

A list along these lines perhaps?

Only problem with that list is a razorback carries only six models. It would be good for Vulkan+Sternguard transport.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461095.page GMT Re:My Very First Serious Marine List Land Raider is great for a armoured assault because the LR will protect your rhino, your rhino will protect your troops and your troops will protect the LR from A.T.

I also agree with the other suggestion.
Drop the MM altogether, instead use those points somewhere else.
Take Meltagun/combi meltagun/meltabomb/Power fist ---------- flamer/combi flamer/cigarette Grenade/Power weapon.
Mix and match isn't a good idea.

Razorbacks have Multi-meltas? If so take one of them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461257.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461257.page GMT My Very First Serious Marine List
My only concern is that I may not have enough Troop choices with your list, winterman, otherwise it's real solid. May as well nab a Guard army if I love Troops so much mind... hrm.

I've a lot to think about. Cheers for the support, fellows.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461452.page GMT My Very First Serious Marine List

While sternguard aren't a bad idea either, this is still a good and legal transport for the unit IMHO. Combat squad and move either one as needed, or just bunker around it or in it near an objective while the rhino squads and raider operate more agressively. Could go with a rhino too.

My only concern is that I may not have enough Troop choices with your list, winterman, otherwise it's real solid.

Three 10 man troop choices is pretty solid for 1500. You have to have some teeth as well as mobility and that is harder to do when taking 4 troop choices in 1500, especially when your focus is on short ranged shooting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/223602/461502.page GMT
