I know Dave, I noticed the bolter, bolt pistol and ccw in the codex. I put those weapons on them to show that csm have those (others have bolters, If it doesnt make sense to you dont worry cos atm it dont make sense to me either)

whilst i agree with the good captain one thing worth considering with certain units is that if a unit costs 200, even if it cannot win back 200 points in kills, can it tie up at least that many points of your opponents army, giving the rest of your army a chance to their job? if so, that may be just as useful

Hmm that quote has gone wrong =\ oh well. Thank you to whoever pointed out the some shots will be allocated to huron due to rank and file marines having a better save than him thing. I didn't know that before.
Finished Editing now

Now to clear up my intentions with Terminators and Huron. The thought occured to me today whilst messing about with java that it would be much easier for the terminators to survive to the other side of the board if they just deep striked in using the Icon of Chaos Glory once that squad was over there. Huron would have travelled with them and then as soon as the Terminators arrive he buggers off to join them and they wreak fiery (or not so fiery) death amongst some people. Hopefully imperial guardsmen, But either way. Because of the new rules the icon lets them deepstrike anywhere within 6 inches of it without scattering (<3) So it makes them much more effective as an entire 5 man squad as opposed to a 5 man squad reduced down to two or three once being the target of a withering hail of fire
(I didnt waste all my time when watching those apocalypse battles, i noticed that terminators tend to get shot at ALOT. Almost as much as the baneblades come to think of it...)
Finally to the issue of the pictures! As i have said, I do really want to get some pictures up as my Corsairs are a bit different to the standard paint job that GW reccomend. I hate gold on evil looking models so the trim is in boltgun and their helmets are... I wont tell you because its my favorite part of the model and gives them a really unique look to them. The pictures should be up soon and it just depends on when and where i can get hold of a Digi camera.
Thank you to people who gave me websites for fluff as the aim was to do a "In character" army. If that does rule out Obliterators, Oh well. Il make up for it with umm... Havocs and maybe a Vindicator. (over compensation ftw)
