40K Army: Space Marines

How do you think this will do?
HQ LIB Epistolary,Jumppack, Fear of darkness, the Sanguine Sword.
Honour Guard jumppack ,Sanguiary Novitiate X5 power weapons

Sanguinary priest jump pack

10X Assult squad 2 meltas 1 power fist

10X tac squad missle luncher Flamer Rhino

2x Baal Predators AC HB Ex amrour.

First thing, the sang novitate can't take upgrades afaik, so it wouldn't be 5x power weapons in that squad.

The tac squad is he only other thing I really question, but it might just be my personal preferences, as I've never really seen a reason to take them when assault squads are troop choices. What role will the tac squad be playing?

[buzzkill]

The tac Squad in the Rhino ,will be used to hold an Ojective and use the Rhino for cover.Do you think I should use a drop pod?

This wont work against my 1500 Necron List:


HQ: Necron Overlord

RC: Cryptek (Destruction)
- Solar Pulse

HQ: Necron Overlord

RC: Cryptek (Destruction)
- Solar Pulse
- Gaze of Flame

Troop: 8 Immortals (gauss)
- NightScythe
Troop: 7 Immortals (gauss)
- NightScythe
Troop: 7 Immortals (tesla)
- NightScythe
Heavy Support: DoomScythe
Heavy Support: DoomScythe
Heavy Support: DoomScythe

This is my all-comers list. For list needs more AV. Yes most Necron lists are mostly infantry, however they still have vehicles

[Robbie_1984]

I agree, it does lack punch in my opinion. I don't use vehicles myself, but my 1500pt list has 2x assault squads with 2 meltas each plus 3 dev squads all with missile launchers as a minimum.

[buzzkill]

I have 2 power fists 4 melta guns and a Sanguine Sword,and a missle luncher. Do you think I need more? How about a get rid of 1 Baal and the Rhino and get a StormRaven? or a land raider?
thank for a your feed back.

I can see what you're trying to do, but at the moment you've got a lot of points spent on unnecessary upgrades and perhaps alternate units can do a better job than the one you've selected. So :-

HQ LIB Jumppack, Fear of darkness, the Sanguine Sword.
The Librarian doesn't need epistolary for those two powers. If he succeds in using Fear, he's probably not going to get a chance to use Sword as the target has run off !

Sanguinary Guard
Sang Guard are better in this role than Honour Guard. Honour Guard are best used as a shooty unit with 4xMeltaguns

2xSanguinary priest jump pack,
Another Sang Priest added here,

10X Assult squad 2 meltas 1 power fist
10X Assult squad 2 meltas 1 power fist
No problems here

5x Scouts with Sniper Rifles, Missile Launcher and Combi-Melta
10 Tacticals in a Rhino to objective sit is a waste of their points, Scouts do the job a lot more cheaply

2x Baal Predators AC Dozer Blades
You'll be mostly driving these 12" to provide cover for your jumpers, therefore HB sponsons aren't needed. Extra Armour is to costly, however 5pt Dozer Blades are invaluble for difficult/dangerous terrain checks.

With these mods, the list comes to 1280pts. As a suggestion to what you could do with these extra points :-

Dante
2x Sang Priests w/ Jump Packs
5x Sanguinary Guard
10x ASM w/ Power Fists, Meltaguns
10x ASM w/ Power Fists, Meltaguns
5x Scouts w/ Missile Launcher, Sniper Rifles, Combi-Melta
Baal Pred w/ AC, Dozer Blade
Baal Pred w/ AC, Dozer Blade
Baal Pred w/ AC, Dozer Blade

If you feel you're a bit light on vehicle stopping power, switch Dante and the Sang Guard for a Librarian and Assault Marines (with Melta).
