Alright then well I think I have a fairly good ruleset for my new space marines. I don't think I've forgotten anything. Let's summerize the changes.
-No ranged weapons.
-WS+1
-Power weapons cost -10 points overall
-Reg squads utilize basic chain weapons instead of bolters. Meltas, Flamers, Plasmas can be upgraded to power weapons (basic), Heavy weapons can be Thunder Hammers, Lightning Claws, Power Fists.
***-I suppose this would apply to termies too, however I would probobly ONLY use assault termies lol and I think they can only have thunderhammers and shields right? I don't know if they termies would really be useful though.
-Only Vehicles are Furioso Dreadnoughts
-Only up to 1 Venerable Furioso Dreadnought
Ok that looks good! My little Space Marine commander is pleased. He sits on my desk night after night ranting about how he has no army.
One more thought. I thought a friend of mine once said something about Venerable Dreadnoughts being able to command? Can they be commanders? I think that would be pretty cool.
