Average space marines will often not best assaulty armies in assault. They're not bad at assault, they just won't be better than assault based armies. That being said, You should EXPECT to assault with nids... because that's what they do. So building some competent CC stuff is not bad. Assaulty HQs are extremely good. Flamers will do well. Also... You should charge them if you can. Don't let them charge you. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2618151.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2618151.page GMT First 1500 pt SM army... Tac Squads, the Heavy Bolter is weak compared to the rest and the MM is not going to really help when there is no vehicles to pop.

The Dread in the drop pod should have a heavy flamer and either an assault cannon or TL-AC, the TL-HB is really bad in this regard. Ironclads with a HF or even a Hurricane Bolter (this being the one time I would think of taking it) is a better choice. Also because of MC rules, a Venerable is slightly better as you can dodge destroyed rolls, but the cost makes it quite difficult to field.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2618809.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2618809.page GMT First 1500 pt SM army... CCW. Monsterous creatures get 2d6 to pen so... I'd suggest not fighting against them in melee, but rather field a rifleman dread. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2618936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2618936.page GMT Re:First 1500 pt SM army...

TFC isn't too bad either when it comes to slaiyng hordes, but its got problems regarding long term endurance and vehicles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2619602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2619602.page GMT First 1500 pt SM army... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2626803.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2626803.page GMT First 1500 pt SM army...

I just can't see this list working. Doesn't this get picked apart? Sorry I'm not seeing anything but fail here.

Just give it a try!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2630221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2630221.page GMT First 1500 pt SM army... Try troops something like tac squad with ml and flamer in a rhino times 2 maybe a mm flamer squad mm dread is always useful hf mm speeders are really effective really good for hordes and anti tank.
Assault termies in a lr rather than those other termies that you have and put them in a lr of some sort.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2630255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2630255.page GMT First 1500 pt SM army...
From what I have gleaned... Definitely switching to all ML no vehicles to pop...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2635558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2635558.page GMT Re:First 1500 pt SM army...

I included a libby to help work on the MC's and Zoanthropes and support the assualt marines, and the two tact squads have ML's and the third has a lascannon for the long range shots. Based on what models I have available.... is this a better list?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2732846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/357300/2732846.page GMT
