The idea of this force was never to be the Uber "kill everthing it could ever face" army, it was an idea in giving the Tyranids a taste of there own horde tactics, to do what Marines are supposed to do-be used as a weapon of fear!
There is potential for remodeling to take on different opponents- dropping the 30 Assault Marines will give a sizable chunk of points that can be used to adapt,overcome,survive.
Makes you think of other tacticas though-how many heavy weapons/tanks/ordenance/dreadnaughts/ etc can I get, although with these you are getting into those annoying min/max armies I always seem to face at the local GW
Does the marine horde come across as beardy/cheesy/powergaming?
