You have 3 scoring, I think another would be good.

Wasting a whole 10 man unit to shoot 1 s7 missile? and for 10 points? I wouldn't do it if it were free. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6493028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6493028.page GMT 1650 Marines for UK 40K GT Final, 264 points left
    Drop the flakk on the tac squad (10 points for 1 skyfire shot wasting the rest of the squad is pretty meh)
    Drop the vet sgt upgrades (sgts get killed before this is usefull)
    Drop the powerfist on the tac squad (sgt gets killed before he'll ever swing)

    Give your captain Shield Eternal or at least a stormshield to make him a more durable beatstick than he already is.

    Use the 2 TFC's for sure (rain down death upon hordes and bolster 2 ruins)!

    Give your tac squad a Razorback (TLLC) and combat squad them (with the ML staying behind bolstered ruins and the rest going in the Razorback).

    2 TFCs are great and with the remaining points upgrade to a CM and buy either shield eternal or gorgons chain.

    ALso you have 0 AA so hope they don't spam air.]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6493389.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6493389.page GMT     1650 Marines for UK 40K GT Final, 264 points left

    The Mortis Contemptor can get interceptor and skyfire if he remains stationary (so that'll be 4 s7 twin linked shots and 2 s8 shots) so I have some AA.

    Lances are staying, its an aesthetic choice and goes with the Minoan/Greek theme of the Minotaurs.


    It seems the 2 TFC is the consensus across the boards I've posted this on, along with the shield eternal for the Captain. I'm now considering dropping the flakk missile. Its a 10 point target of opportunity thing, combat squadded off it does not have that much impact on the sqaud, esp if they are hiding in a ruin with a 3+ cover save.

    May drop the PF from the Tac sqaud and the Vet upgrade and go with a combi weapon of some sort instead. That frees up 25(ish) points]]>     http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6494464.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6494464.page GMT     1650 Marines for UK 40K GT Final, 264 points left http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6494951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6494951.page GMT Re:1650 Marines for UK 40K GT Final, 264 points left http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6495184.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576843/6495184.page GMT Re:1650 Marines for UK 40K GT Final, 264 points left
