The generic 'movie marine' has what's essentially a 36" range assault cannon, which is still not bad, especially with BS5.

A 3+ rerollable armour save, or 3+ invulnerable save, is nice, especially with T6, but is far from unheard of; after all - 3++ saves are fairly common issue now with the storm shield being standard kit for quite a few units, and rerollable 4+/3+ jink saves not being at all unheard of.

The thing is, 4 jetbikes with scatter lasers and one 'tactical marine' have about the same points cost - the bikes move faster, get an assault move, and probably have more firepower against most targets.

With infiltrate, the marines can still put up a creditable fight against most opponents. The missile launcher should make a fine mess of most things (even a baneblade needs to be cautious about 2 S10 AP1 hits), and the Sergeant can beat the crud out of most assault threats - but, yeah.....movie marines aren't going to (and shouldn't) be able to effectively take on superheavies very well.

I honestly think it'd be a fun game.

I've a soft spot for 'one man army' forces - I've played a few games with a 1500 point pure officio assassinorium force, and it's surprisingly good fun. I want to try knights errant (30k) at some point, too.
