This guy is decent... nice and cheap and disposable. However, just as a suggestion... you might want to consider either a chaplain or a iron halo simply because they have surviveablity!

Command Squad Imperator: 157pts
Apothocary
Veteran SGT with Powerfist
2 Marines with Flamers
1 marine with CCW

Bodies bodies bodies bodies! What is it with people and 5 man assault squads? They don't work. Sorry to be harsh there, but if you ever play against any horde army (IG, Nids, Orks) and get involved in CC with small squads YOU WILL LOSE it doesn't matter how good your armor is, if you attack first, if you hit more often... they'll outnumber you 2:1 at the least... 10 hormaguants get 30 attacks when they charge... and thats a SMALL hormaguant squad... i'd say that 16-24 was a much more standard size... other than that... this squad is quite good... though, as a suggestion, you might want to put them in a rhino...

Tactical Squad Dorn: 170pts
8 Marines with bolters
1 marine with Rocket launcher
1 marine with plasma gun


Tactical Squad Libertias: 170pts
8 Marines With Bolters
1 Marine With Rocket Launcher
1 Marine With Plasma Gun

I've never been a fan of heavy weapons in tactical squads... my few experiances have taught me that it's generally not worth it... it could work, and it has worked before, but I prefer more mobile, counterassault/assault squads... frag grenades, powerfist, 2 special weapons (using Cleanse and Purify... THE BEST TRAIT)... put them in a rhino and BOOM a very efffective tactical squad that can deal with any siduation.

Tactical Squad Xander: 165pts
8 marines with bolters
1 marine with Heavy bolter
1 marine with Plasma gun


FAST ATTACK
Same as above... except that I like this squad better for some reason... maybe its the shorter range of the heavy bolter, and the fact that I like heavy bolters a lot!

Quote:
Landspeeder: 80pts
Assualt cannon
Heavy bolter


LandSpeeder: 80pts
Assualt Cannon
Heavy Bolter
Never used them myself... but I love the idea of landspeeders zipping around shooting everything!

HEAVY SUPPORT

Devistator Squad Anvil
: 240pts
6 Marines With Bolters
4 Marines With Heavy Bolters
Tank Hunters


Devistator Squad Hammer
: 160pts
6 Marines With Bolters
4 Marines With Rocket Launchers
Tank Hunters
Why the tank hunters on those heavy bolter marines? Other than that... solid choices.

Whilwind 'Atlas' : 85pts

TOTAL: 1500pts
Not a fan of the whirlwind myself, its really more of a specialist unit that is only going to be useful if you're fighting horde armies... that's just me though...

Over all I don't like the idea of static lists... but that is from my playing experiences of fighting FAST armies... ones that will close with you and then wipe you out in CC... which means that I'm going mobile... getting things like assault marines... rhinos... and lanspeeders...

Still... I'm assuming that you have some decent 40k experience... and you've chosen a static list for a reason...
