<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Unique ideas for Space Marines"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Unique ideas for Space Marines Ok so here's my thing. I'm about to purchase a Space Marine Strikeforce to start off a SM army. I haven't decided what chapter I'm going to play though. What do you guys think I should do? I'd like something competitive but with a good amount of fluff (I really enjoy the fluff of 40K).
Thanks in advance ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6757456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6757456.page GMT Unique ideas for Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6757473.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6757473.page GMT Unique ideas for Space Marines

Drop pods are fun and can be fuffy. I do an unusual combination with Iron Hands in drop pods. Its a fun list.


I don't know SM as well as I'd like... What are Iron Hands specialty. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6757530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6757530.page GMT Unique ideas for Space Marines FNP for everyone, IWND on vehicles and characters, and +1 to the blessing of the omnissiah.

If none of those appeal, check out the forgeworld chapter tactics:

Sometimes it is fun to base a chapter off of a certain character you like, how they would command their army, or how they look and decorate themselves. Check out the named characters in the codex, or on forgeworld.

You can always build and paint your own chapter and just use any of these rules, claiming to be a successor chapter.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6759422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6759422.page GMT Unique ideas for Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6759778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6759778.page GMT Unique ideas for Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6760319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6760319.page GMT Unique ideas for Space Marines http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6760563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6760563.page GMT Re:Unique ideas for Space Marines
One of the Cursed 21st, their geneseed mutation means they burst into flame in combat.

Assault focused, give em flamers, use the Salamanders tactics. Might be fun and viable with the right sort of support units.

Dunno how you'd model them being on fire unless you do something like Ghost Rider and have their heads on fire for the helmetless marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6761921.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591577/6761921.page GMT Re:Unique ideas for Space Marines

If you want something unique, you could try to design an army that is a scattered remnant of the 'wiped out' Flame Falcons.

I would avoid the Falcons really thanks to the LotD tye-ins. But there are plenty of the cursed of the founding to go around.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm definitely going to go pick up the codex this week! I won't assemble anything until I know which direction I want to go. I've been reading up on Wikipedia and they're all really cool. I'll have to narrow it down.
