1750 - Vanilla SM list

40K Army: Space Marines

Not played marines in 10 years. Does this look about right?

- Captain Braylock - IA Character, Terminator Armour, MC-Chain Fist, Storm Bolter, Iron Halo, Auto pass/fail moral checks, Terminators count as scoring = 195
- Epistolary Librarian - Terminator Armour, Storm Shield, Null Zone, The Gate Of Infinity = 190
- Terminator Assault Squads (5) - Thunder Hammers & Storm Shields = 200
- Contemptor Dreadnough - Heavy Flamer, TL-Lascannon = 210
- Tactical Squad (10) - Meltagun, Lascannon, Combi-Meltagun, Power Fist, Razorback = 260
- Tactical Squad (10) - Meltagun, Lascannon, Combi-Meltagun, Power Fist, Razorback = 260
- Tactical Squad (10) - Plasma Gun, Plasma Cannon, Combi-Plasm Gun = 195
- Devastator Squad (5) - 4 Heavy Bolters = 150
- Whirlwind = 85
= 1745

I've been playing Orks a lot and suffering against all the Necron and Grey Knight lists. So I want a second army that can turn the tables once in a while. Any obvious oversights in here?

Hi,
Having terminators scoring is pretty nice! So you could try to play 10 of them (10 assault ones who can combat squad in 2*5 or 5 assault and 5 regular with CycloneML)
For the tacticals, another option could be specializing them + a rhino: meltagun/combimelta/multimelta and flamer/combiflamer/multimelta. That must save some points.

Moreover, 2 full tacticals should be enough if you add 10 or 15 scoring termies.
I would drop the devastators in favour of termies or some tanks or fast attack choices (vindicators, land speeders, attack bikes, scout bikes.)
Hope it helps.

The hook of the dread is viable in a game of 1500 points??
