Help me make Space marine army list - 40K Terra

Jarrah · 08-09-2007

I cant figure out a decent 1500 points army so I would like YOU! to come up one for me.

so this is what I have: 1x Commander boxset
1x Command squad boxset
1x Mk11 battle force boxset
1x Devastator squad boxset
1x Scouts with Sniper rifels

So Im think of using blood angels rules or making my own chapter.

P.S. Im thinking some think that it good at close combat.

Thanks Jarrah

I would think that, with what you have at the moment (Devastators and Scouts w/sniper rifles) would lend to a more ranged type of army. Anyone agree?

Well if you want close combat either Blood Angels or Black Templars.

If you go with the Blood Angels theme though I would advise getting some assault squads as they really are the meat and bone of a Blood Angels army!

I would arm the Commander with a Plasma pistol and Power weapon (master crafted so you re-roll a missed hit) and gear the command squad towards close combat as well (Maybe stick a powerfist in there as well to take care of armour)

Use the Tactical Squad as ranged support for the command squad whilst the Devastators take out Armour and the Snipers pick off choice enemy targets

But you really need some Assault Squads first to drive home the charge

Then maybe a few Death Company and a Chaplain!!

Also do you know you can now down load the new Blood Angels codex for FREE from the GW website!

Jarrah · 08-09-2007

I have downloaded the new rules.

Keep the post coming

Quick off topic bit here, but Pert, did you say FREE? WOW, GW IS DOING SOMETHING FREE.
Get it quickly before they slap "GW tax" on it.

Perturabo · 08-09-2007

As you can see from the rules you have downlaoded the core of the army is Assault squads-or variations of!

With the models you have at the moment you can take everything and tool them up to the max really!

IMPORTANT-Though at the moment to make your army legal you will have to take 2 x 5 Marine Combat squads (to fulfil your 1 HQ and 2 Troops obligation) also Blood Angel Scouts may not take Sniper Rifles!!

if you want a really good CC army you might want to look into Space Wolves
they can be so nasty attackiing and almost as affective defending CC

Perturabo · 08-09-2007

With what you have you are going to struggle to make even a 1000 points

Look at this sample list from what you have:
HQ

Captain
Plasma pistol
Power weapon
Melta bombs

Honour Guard
Priest Upgrade
Company champion Upgrade
Melta Gun x 1
Powerfist x 1
Melta Bombs

Troops

Tactical Squad 1
Power Weapon
Melta Gun

Tactical Squad 2
Power weapon
Plasma Gun

Heavy Support

Devastator Squad
Power weapon
Heavy bolter
Heavy Bolter
Multi melta
Missile Launcher

=820 points (approx)

I havent used the scouts as Blood Angels cant use snipers

Even if you use every upgrade (and all the expensive ones too) you will struggle to make 1000 points also your army will not be very balanced-getsome Assault Squads to boost your Troops choice (maybe trade your Scouts for them)

So far it looks like your geting great help. If you want a CC army then go with blood angels. buy some death company, another rhino and 2 more assault squads oh and a chaplian. the rest is kinda up to you, you might want a baal predator, but so far keep listenen to Perturabo
