Currently its a Librarian for my HQ and two tactical squads with Rhino transport. What units/character should I get next?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7441160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7441160.page GMT
Sternguard in a drop pod are a very effective and versatile all round unit.

Thunderfire cannons also seem to pull their weight for the cheap 100 point price tag.

I think most competitive lists run a captain or chapter master on a bike to unlock bikes as troops and then just max squads of those with grav guns]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7441207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7441207.page GMT
Marines do best with Objective Secured troops and lots of infantry to fullfill most roles. The suggestion about Sternguard in a drop pod is great. I'd also consider a basic Devastator Squad with 4 lascannons. If you play Ultramarines or Imperial fists, power armoured troops are going to do you well as the bulk of your army.

Thunderfire Cannons are amazing heavy choices, and if you are going to need anti-air, a Stormraven is a nice option.

Hope that helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7443283.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7443283.page GMT
I agree with the clincher but with one exception. Tri-las cannon predators can be brutal.

Basically the idea is to add heavy weapons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7443630.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7443630.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7443893.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7443893.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7449875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/627617/7449875.page GMT
