1000 Point Force
HQ:
Reclusiarch
- MC Crozius Arcanum
Points: 100
drop the MC. litinies of hate lets you re-roll missed hits anyway, and you cant re-roll twice, so its wasted. consider adding a jump pack and sticking him with the assault marines instead. he will reach the enemy much faster
Elites:
Dreadnought
- Lascannon, Smoke Launchers
Points: 128
i would give him a missle launcher as well and keep him a dedicated tank hunter. that way you get 2 shots a turn instead of the one while plodding your way to punch em.

Troops:
Tactical Squad I
(9 Marines) - Sgt has B. Pistol/CCW, Heavy Bolter, Frag Grenades.
Points: 149

Tactical Squad (6 Marines) - Lascannon
Points: 105

Razorback (Transport for above TS) - Storm Bolter, Smoke Launchers (Heavy Bolters for primary weapon)
Points: 83

Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - All Marines are CCW/B. Pistol equipped with Furious Assault. The Sgt has Terminator Honors and a Power Fist.
Points: 192
i would either spend these points on another assault squad instead or give these guys a rhino. they will get shot to peices while walking.

Fast Attack:
Assault Squad
(9 Marines) - x1 Plasma Pistol, Furious Assault
Points: 230
again, i would stick the chaplain with these guys.
Total Points: 987


1500 Point Force
HQ:
Master of Sanctity
- MC Crozius Arcanum
Points: 115

Elites:
Dreadnought
- Lascannon, Smoke Launchers

Terminator Squad
(5 Marines) - x2 Assault Cannon
Points: 240

Troops:
Tactical Squad
(10 Marines) - x1 Heavy Bolter, Frag Grenades
Points: 164

Tactical Squad (6 Marines) - x1 Lascannon
Points: 105

Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - All Marines are CCW/B. Pistol equipped with Furious Assault. The Sgt has Terminator Honors and a Power Fist.
Points: 210

Scout Squad (5 Marines) - All scouts are sniper-rifle equipped.
Points: 90

Fast Attack:
Assault Squad
(9 Marines) - x1 Plasma Pistol, Furious Assault
Points: 230


Heavy Support:
Whirlwind Artillery
- Storm Bolter (It has crossed my mind to replace this with a HK Missile)
Points: 95
yes, replace with a hunter killer missle. storm bolters are 24'' range and because you want the whirlwind behind your lines throwing missles across the table, chances are you wont be able to get a shot. HKMs have unlimited range, which suits it better.

Predator Annihilator - Smoke Launchers
Points: 123
[COLOR="red]good[/color]
Total Points: 1500

All thoughts on my planned expansion into the 1000+ world would be greatly appreciated. If you want to comment on the existing force, feel free to as well.

Also, I should comment that in both forces, the Chaplain will be paired with the CCW/Bolt Pistol only squad.

stuff i said for the original force applies to the expanded company.
looks good overall, and its a very balanced force!
