HQ: Terminator Librarian with Storm Shield. Likely to carry the Gate and Vortex powers.
T: Tactical 10 man with Flamer, Missile Launcher, HB Razorback
T: Tactical 10 man with Flamer, Missile Launcher, HB Razorback
T: Tactical 10 man with Flamer, Plasma Cannon
FA: Assault Squad 10 man with Power Fist Sergeant, No Jump Packs, Free Rhino
FA: Attack Bike (single) with Multi-Melta
HS: Land Raider (std. pattern)
HS: Land Raider (std. pattern)

It's designed to be a counts as Marine list designed around Space Wolves, thus the Assault squad dumped its jump packs to pretend to be Blood Claws. I feel like it has some decently fluid tactics, for example: against killy CC armies, I can avoid combat squadding, sit back, and shoot using the razorbacks as fire support instead of transport. Then around turn 4 or so, I can hop any survivng squads into what survivng transports they'll fit into and haul ass for an objective. Meanwhile, the Libby can yank squads out of CC if they survive long enough, letting me dump more fire into those targets. Or, against shooty armies, I can combat squad up the two tacticals with transports and drive for their line with the Land Raiders carrying the foot slogger squad and the Assault Squad with Libby.

I'm now considering this list tho.

HQ: Terminator Librarian with Storm Shield
T: Tactical 10 man with Flamer, Missile, Power Fist Serg, HB Razorback
T: Tactical 10 man with Flamer, Missile, HB Razorback
T: Tactical 10 man with Flamer, Missile
E: Assault Terminator 5 man
FA: Attack Bike with Heavy Bolter
HS: Land Raider
HS: Land Raider Redeemer with pintle MM

It would give me more CC counter punch.

Thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/483782.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/483782.page GMT Re:Attempting to build a local tournament winning Marine list.
It really is a hard call because of the unknown metagame ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/483838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/483838.page GMT Re:Attempting to build a local tournament winning Marine list. I wish I knew more about the folks that show up to the tourneys around here. Sadly, I've been taking a break from 40k for the last year and a half.

So the first list is preferred due to its CC element. Speaking of that element, do you think I should run Assault Marines or Assault Terminators? The former lasts longer in CC and has more wounds (and attacks to force combat resolution wounds) but the latter has more powered, high strength attacks with superior saves across the board (Looking at TH+SS termies for their 3+i svs)

If I do switch to A Terms, should I consider a Redeemer with MM? I worry about its short range.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/484118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/484118.page GMT Attempting to build a local tournament winning Marine list.

I like the assault Marines in a transport since they are protected by the armor and are a good counter assault unit. The termies are good too and you could keep them inside a LR.

Probably if you ask around you can find out what type armies are having the most success in your area.

In which way? I recognize the reliance on movement and troops in 5th, but weakening assault marines? What'd I miss?

I don't think I'll be too worried about Lash. Psychic Hood to protect my foot slogger firebase marines and everything else has a transport. I worry that I don't have enough shots/turn to take care of horde anything, and Biker nobs are rough without a Redeemer.

Hmm. Maybe I'll grab that Melta Redeemer after all. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/484548.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/484548.page GMT Attempting to build a local tournament winning Marine list. I'd include a large Terminator squad, either shooty with two cyclones or geared towards cc with 10 thunder hammers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/485013.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/485013.page GMT Attempting to build a local tournament winning Marine list. Caught some guys playing in the store. Multiple eldar, chaos and marines. One oddball Daemonhunter. Small sample size, but better than no info at all. Metropolitan area so players are likely to come out of the woodwork. Any other recommendations?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/486521.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225027/486521.page GMT
