Going for a shock and awe sorta army here, i realize it's a sorta squishy army but the drop pods help get me where i want to go quickly and relatively safely. I also know that Marneus is a heap ton of points, but he's SO nice i have to take him lol.

Edited with new suggestions.

Do you have a pod for your dread otherwise he'll be your only guy huffing it across the board.

Also wondering how much luck you've had with your assault marines, because they may be a liability on the turn they DS because they can only use their pistols and will get shot before they can charge ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4325224.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4325224.page GMT Re:2k Ultramarines DS my Assault marines, i kinda use them as bait since they can move around the board relatively fast. They have survived all of the games i have had them in, surprisingly. The Dread without the DP is also used as bait, and it's Assault cannon, Although i may see if I can swap in double Auto cannons, thanks.

Oh and I did forget to squeeze in a teleport homer, I think I can put a beacon on a drop pod.

Ok, made some changes, took off the EA from the normal Dread and swapped in double auto cannons. and added a Locator beacon to the Honor guard's Drop Pod

Total Cost came to 1997]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4325971.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4325971.page GMT Re:2k Ultramarines imo drop the verarable dread and just pick up another dread saves you like 65+ points I think.
Next get rid of the librarian and get a chaplain and put him with the assault terms, that way they all get a extra roll if they miss on their assault, (this is just because I LOVE chaplains haha).

Once again IMO dont take assault troops unless you are blood angles, just what i think instead use thous points to pick up some armor.

Other then that i really do like the HQ, troop, and elite choice. i just feel like you might bet destroyed by armor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4326209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4326209.page GMT Re:2k Ultramarines

FYI, my usual opponent plays Necrons and he always has 3 Doomsday Arks which are tough as hell to deal with. Usually any armor i have on the table is singled out first by them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4326547.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4326547.page GMT 2k Ultramarines
The rest of the list could be made into stuff good once you have a direction. 500 pts on 2 models doesn't really give the direction.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4326965.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4326965.page GMT 2k Ultramarines

But if you do what to run a deepstrike army like drop pods and such take melta guns. They can destroy armor like no ones biz. I would suggest looking at this army then go from there.

In addition if you are makeing a fast attack army, check out the new units for sm they are pretty dity units. Able to come in with any other reserive and have really good range.

I hear ya, but this list's whole point is to have some fun with Calgar and Tibby, is it a tourney list, no. But I think i can deal some nice damage and have fun with it. The drop pods are there to make sure Calgar and Tibby survive long enough to get where i need them and deal some damage. Last game I played I only had Calgar and his Honor guard (no tibby) and the amount of points my opponent directed towards this squad was absolutely ridiculous. fully half his army tried to kill them and I still had Calgar at the end of the game, that makes them worth the points IMO.

Meltas aren't a bad choice, i may swap one in on one of my tac squads. I would love to run 3 Vindicators, but I only own 1 so can't really do that lol. Plus i normally run a lot of heavy armor and I am trying something different.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4327860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451763/4327860.page GMT 2k Ultramarines tl assault cannon and missles that have a range of 60.
