A few pointers...Combat patrols are capped at 400 points. Maybe you have speacial rules...I don't know for sure. Anyway,the auspex and purity seals on the codificer are a waste. Use the points elsewhere. I'm pretty sure the tactical squad can not have furious charge. The assault marines cant either unless you use a trait and take them as elites. @ 18 points each, it's going to hurt alot to lose them.... I like the second list much better. The scouts will infilrate, which is a great advantage. 4 landspeeders (make sure they are ALL ac/hb) will lay waste to almost anything. As mentioned though, make sure that theyre all using assault cannons and heavy bolters, as the assault cannon is the best weapon in the marines arsenel. The multi melta is useless compared to it, espeaciall in this situation with 11 armour being the highest you'll see. The assault cannon rends, so it will rip through rhinos and infantry. Even against a land raider/monolith with AV 14 the multimelta has an 11 % chance of a penetrating hit, whereas the assault cannon has a 30 % chance. The multi melta/heavy flamer should never be taken.
