I've been out of the game for years now. I used to play IG, Eldar, and Emperor's Children mostly, although I started out with Blood Angles and did well with them. Anyrate, because the game was taking up too much and money, and I was heading to Purdue, I got rid of all my 40k stuff and just kept the Flames of War around. I'm now getting back into 40k, because there is now a large scene around where I live. I bought the new Space Marines codex and I've found that they've revamped everything. I never used to use Terminators in a 1000pt battle, but I'm wondering if they're worth it now that they can always deep strike. So far this is the army I'm considering, but the list is a rough draft. Anyone have advice on the termies, or about the list in general?? Any advice is appreciated.

HQ

Chaplain w/ jump pack and teleport homer 110pts

Tac x5 w/ Lascannon 90pts

Tac x5 w/ Lascannon 90pts

Tac x8 w/ Powerfisted sarg, meltagun, and rhino w/ smoke 213pts

Termies x5 with an assault cannon? 220pts

Assault troopers x7 w/ PF sarg and 2 plasma guns 194pts

Whirlwind for splattering guardsmen indirectly (my buddy plays guard) 85pts

= 1002pts (we allow a few points short or over)

I was also considering replacing the assault sqaud with a command squad and giving my chapter take it to them! or trust your battle brothers. However, I hear that assaulting out of rhinos has changed in these rules.

Thanks guys!
