I am slightly worries about double hel drake as I know it is very possible with the amount of csm where I am at, as far as riptidez I've honest not played against them as marines. I'm and ork at heart xD ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270079.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000
I would drop 1 of the extra Devastator Marines. Use the extra 10 points to put Meltabombs on your Tactical Sergeants.

Double Heldrakes and Riptides will give you issues, but they give everybody issues.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270145.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270145.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270177.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 Devs are very easily targeted by heldrakes too. Maybe some preds might be a better way to go if you know you are going to see lots of drakes.

Drop pods mean your marines will be out in the open first game so drakes will have a field day.

Where do you put the Libby?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270184.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 Tac squads and assault squad and Libby have been a good foundation, along with I would like to keep one flak missile squad. So as far as the last dev squad goes what do you folks think it should look like?? I unfortunately have zero tanks and this is going to be my 6th game as ultramarines. I'd preferably want rhinos but am stuck with three pods currently hahah! So I am working with what I have so for the remainder of points I could do a mix of heavy bootees and plasma cannons maybe? Also worth mention that I have 10 terminators as well but I figured they are to pricey for this!

RANT OVER hope I didn't jumble my words too much thank you all

The Librarian really doesn't need to be level 2. That's 25 points that could get a Power Fist for the small Assault Squad or Meltabombs for everybody!

I would give the Tactical Squads Plasmagun/Combi-Melta or Plasma/Multi-Melta.

Taking 2 Lascannons and 2 Plasma Cannons on the same squad isn't the best idea, unfortunately. 2 models want to shoot armor and 2 models want to blow up infantry. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270686.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270686.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 Tac squads multi meltas then the other dev squad 2 plasma cannons and 2 heavy bolters?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270700.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 tbh. It sounds like you have the weapons from the Devastator Box and a few Missile Launchers. I would go with Plasmacannons & Lascannons for the Devastators if that's the case, as now at least everything is AP2 and can be used to take out tough stuff like Riptides and terminators.

The Tacticals should definitely have Multi-Meltas.

I would use the 25 points from the Librarian to give the Assault Squad a Power Axe and a Veteran Sergeant. Also make sure the Librarian has a Force Axe. Now this 6-man unit has 2 Flamers and a surprising punch in CC.

What Psychic Discipline is your Librarian using? I would recommend Biomancy, for CC buffs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270754.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 dev squad ! Also I have just been giving my Libby phsycic shriek. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6270996.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000
Alternatively you can change the second Devastator Squad into 2 x 5 Tactical Marines each with a Plasma Cannons. More scoring would be great in this list.

EDIT: Could you do something like this?

HQ
Librarian 65
-Force Axe, Biomancy

Troops
10 Tactical Marines 215
-Plasmagun, Multi-Melta, Sergeant has Combi-Plasma & Meltabombs, Drop Pod

10 Tactical Marines 215
-Plasmagun, Multi-Melta, Sergeant has Combi-Plasma & Meltabombs, Drop Pod

5 Tactical Marines 85
-Plasma Cannon

5 Tactical Marines 85
-Plasma Cannon

Fast Attack
5 Assault Marines 95
-2 Flamers, Drop Pod

Heavy Support
10 Devastator Marines 240
-4 Missile Launchers w/ Flakk Missiles

1,000

This is providing my memory is correct regarding point costs. You now have double the scoring units. The Devastator Squad will split in two using Combat Squads. This will give your opponent 4 units of 5 marines in your deployment zone to worry about. Causing target priority issues is a great thing.

The Meltabombs were tacked onto the Sergeants as there were 10 points left. This gives you some additional Melta in case you are playing against a parking lot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6271012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6271012.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 Tac squads with a heavy for objectives!! I think I will do this list or something very close, really appreciate the help. I'm just five marines short, I'll just paint as many as I can haha! Aside from that it looks good and has a but of anti air and I get to use my plasma cannons. Things I want to ask though. You really think biomancy over shriek? And why other questions is seeing that the dev squad is ten man, would you keep them as one blob unless I'm against someone where I want two missiles firing at two targets??]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6271357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6271357.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000

Double Heldrakes and Riptides will give you issues, but they give everybody issues.


I don't like Tac squads being jack of all trades. Drop the heavy weapon altogether from both.

Make one squad Melta + Combi Melta/Melta Bomb, and the other Plasma + Combi Plasma/Melta Bomb. You want your squads mobile. Heavy weapons will be snap shotting.

Your Dev squads are perfect. You can combat squad them for pseudo split fire shenanigans, that allows you to engage up to four aerial targets per turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6271721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6271721.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000 HW (frees up some points whch might net you tiggy!) can help protect them from baledrakes.

Shriek is good but is pretty situational. I like Biomancy as it can make your Warlord more survivable and deal more damage in CC. Iron Arm is a great power to try and get. Take Shriek if you don't want to assault with that squad.

I would always split the Dev squad into 2 5-man units unless you are playing a kill point scenario. You get to fire at twice the number of targets and your opponent has twice the number of units to target, which is great.

I would keep the Multi-Meltas on the Drop Pod-ing Tactical Squads. It will be far more useful than a Bolter, even while snap shooting. Imo you can never have enough melta when making a tournament list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6272996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/564277/6272996.page GMT Competitive ultramarines 1000
