I would go with 5 assault terminators with 3 LCs and 2 TH/SS.

10 terminators is badass. I would use cyclone launchers instead of heavy flamers though... combat squad the terminators, put 5 of em without any weapons in the land raider along with calgar, and use the 5 man squad with missiles as fire support.

I'm not a fan of dreads in this edition, because they are expensive for how easy they are to kill (glances on AV12 are kinda easy). I'd also drop the attack bike and land speeders... and get a pair of those new fast attack vehicles, http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440275a&prodId=prod1600096a

You need anti-air now, and what better way to get that than fast attack attack choppers? Also, if you can find a way to squeeze in 5 extra guys for your one 5 man squad, do it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460304/4496109.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460304/4496109.page GMT First attempt at a 1500 space marine army. HBs. HBs are wastes. Also have at least 3 10 man marine squads in rhinos and then have good long range fire support.

Hope this helps

Terminators anyway are badass, but Assault Terminators are more badass. Hahaa ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460304/4496126.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/460304/4496126.page GMT First attempt at a 1500 space marine army. Id like more tactical marines, but I couldnt find room to squeeze them in. If I drop the land speeders, I can squeeze more in, and if I drop the dreadnaught, I can get another squad in, and those squads can have rhino's. Then I can make the 10 man terminator's deep strike, as Calgar has a homing beacon, cart him in with the land raider, then boom all the terminator's to his position. So the strategy there would be, have the tactical squads come up one side, and teleport in the terminators to herd the army towards the tacticals.

Im afraid I don't have any bits to swap around the terminator weapons and such, but im not super competetive. For just some fun games, does this sound like a sound strategy?
