				<title>Get me to 1500 pts!</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I have a 1400 point (roughly depending on wargear) Space Marine Army using Imperial Fists tactics<br /> <br /> I need to hit the magical 1500 to play in my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(38);'>FLGS</span> weekly night and my local friends league. <br /> <br /> The following is my list, please bear in mind I cannot make sweeping changes to this, cash is tight at the moment for minis, I just need to add a unit.<br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(56);'>HQ</span> -<br /> <br /> Captain with command squad (Apoth, Standard, flamer, grav pistol and chainsword, champion)<br /> <br /> Troops -<br /> <br /> 10 man <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(167);'>tac</span> squad - Melta, Multi melta, combi melta sgt<br /> 10 man <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(167);'>tac</span> squad - Plasma, Plasma Cannon, combi <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(166);'>plas</span> sgt<br /> 5 man <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(167);'>tac</span> squad - Heavy Bolter<br /> 5 man scout squad - bolters, heavy bolter, combi flamer on sgt<br /> 5 man scout squad - pistols and knives, riding a Landspeeder storm<br /> <br /> Elites -<br /> <br /> 5 man Termie squad - Assault cannon, 2 x Chainfists<br /> <br /> Heavy Support -<br /> 5 man <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(29);'>Dev</span> squad - 3 x missile launcher, 1 x lascannon<br /> <br /> I also have a Lascannon Razorback that will probably go onto the 5 man <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(167);'>tac</span> squad and be held as a reserve objective grabber<br /> <br /> I seem low on Fast attack although I am not sure a small fast attack unit would really add to my boolter heavy gunline style.<br /> <br /> I have narrowed it down to -<br /> <br /> 5 man assault squad<br /> 5 man Sternguard<br /> a Dreadnought (probably assault cannon and powerfist)<br /> Bike Squad<br /> Land Speeder (typhoon or an assault/melta combo)<br /> <br /> Opinions? Anything I have missed?<br /> <br /> Not looking to spend more than what I have suggested in terms of unit prices, and I don't really want a libby, I get all their benefits but mine is a fluffy army and we do not suffer the psyker!]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Where do you see your army going?  Whenever you are adding units, particularly if on a tight budget, keep an eye on the long term goal.<br /> <br /> Right now you are an infantry dominated force.  There are advantage to that.  You are a little light on mobility, but all the heavy anti-tank guns your opponent brought are going to be inefficiently overkilling troopers.<br /> <br /> That said, you look to have the start of meching up, with the razor and the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(440);'>LSS</span>.<br /> <br /> Dreads and speeders rely on armor saturation to help keep alive.  If you only have one target, it tends to eat a lascannon and blow up early.  If you have half a dozen things with <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(9);'>AV</span>, most of them will get a few turns to do their thing.  And that’s all you can expect from a unit on the battlefield.<br /> <br /> You look to be building a gunline.  You’ve got the scouts to go out and grab objectives, but not a lot of support for them.  I agree with your feelings that you need a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(35);'>FA</span> pick.  Thematicly, I’d go with a TML/<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(51);'>HB</span> speeder to fly with the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(440);'>LSS</span> and soften up the hostile objective.  It also works for getting side shots on vehicles, of which your gunline will only be seeing the front.<br /> <br /> But frankly there is no wrong answer on what to pick up.  While I’d do a number of things differently, what you have should work OK.  You are troop heavy, so adding some teeth to your list is the order of the day.  Pick one that works for you.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I would proxy 5 man tact into a 5 man sternguard squad with meltas, and turn captain into a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(746);'>CM</span>, that should be about 100pts.]]></description>
