With the release of the new Space Marine Codex I am in need of adding to my 2,000 Point list due to some price reductions that mean I now have some more points to spend. What I have so far is:

Master of the Forge - Conversion Beamer with 2 Heavy Bolter Servitors
Techmarine - Full Servo Harness and Power Axe with 3 Servitors

Venerable Dreadnought - Assault Cannon and Drop Pod
Venerable Dreadnought - Twin-Linked Lascannon and Missile Launcher

Tactical Squad - 10 Marines, Missile Launcher, Flamer, Combi-Melta, Rhino (Please note NOT a Veteran Sarge)
Tactical Squad - 10 Marines, Missile Launcher, Flamer, Combi-Melta, Rhino (Please note NOT a Veteran Sarge)
Tactical Squad - 10 Marines, Missile Launcher, Flamer, Combi-Melta (Please note NOT a Veteran Sarge)

Bike Squad - 8 Bikes, 2 Melta Guns + Attack Bike with Multi-Melta

Ironclad Dreadnought - Ironclad Assault Launchers, Hunter Killer Missile, Drop Pod
Dreadnought - Drop Pod
Thunderfire Cannon

By my count this equals 1858 (feel free to check me) therefore what my question is, how should I spend the remaining 142 points?

Please note that the above are set and predominantly painted. (Although should I change the attack bike to Heavy Bolter?) Any feedback or ideas are welcome. I was considering another Dread, but then I thought my troop section looks a little weak. The other option is to take more servitors to protect my Techmarine and Master of the Forge, or take a unit of Servitors to sit near the THunderfire. Not sure I want to add to the fast attack due to fluff reasons.

Thanks for your time.

I like the Stalker for general AA and the Hunter for dedicate heavy armor AA (think hellturkey)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6029817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6029817.page GMT
I did this for a number of reasons, firstly, I already have the model converted to have a lot of bionics and painted (he was a hold over from when Iron Hands could take Sergeants in Terminator Armor) I really like the job I did painting him and his conversions, look out for him to soon appear in my painting and modelling blog.

Secondly, I felt that with the FNP and IWND chapter traits I should be making more use of the Iron Hands characters, therefore throw a guy in with a 2+/4++ in the foot slogging tactical squad and I dare someone to try and shoot me off of an objective with him up front.

So maybe not entirely competitive, but I always liked Terminator led Tactical Squads and I love my converted model so he is in.

Thanks again for the advice though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041174.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041184.page GMT
put your ironclad as an elite choice, and the lascannon/ml one as HS.

your ironclad is more likely to die than the shooty one, and the shooty one can always sit back and be scoring in Big Guns missions. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041193.page GMT TDA grants relentless.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041198.page GMT FOC.

I will more than likely remove the power axe from the Techmarine as I have yet to paint him and it is a simple conversion, but what should I stick in the empty hand.....

As to spending the then freed up 15 points I am not sure I want to do the conversion of a shield to the already painted Terminator, will need to think on that, same thing goes for giving him a combi-grav or Primarch's Wrath, I am almost done with this army and not sure I want to start back tracking on finished models.

Thanks for all the input though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6041636.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6042149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/550917/6042149.page GMT
