 |  Army Expansion I'm going to be moving up my total points for my army from 1000 to 1500. My 1000 point force has worked well enough. Its had its shares of wins, losses, and draws that anyone would expect. 1000 Point Force HQ: Reclusiarch - MC Crozius Arcanum Points: 100 Elites: Dreadnought - Lascannon, Smoke Launchers Points: 128 Troops: Tactical Squad I (9 Marines) - Sgt has B. Pistol/CCW, Heavy Bolter, Frag Grenades. Points: 149 Tactical Squad (6 Marines) - Lascannon Points: 105 Razorback (Transport for above TS) - Storm Bolter, Smoke Launchers (Heavy Bolters for primary weapon) Points: 83 Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - All Marines are CCW/B. Pistol equipped with Furious Assault. The Sgt has Terminator Honors and a Power Fist. Points: 192 Fast Attack: Assault Squad (9 Marines) - x1 Plasma Pistol, Furious Assault Points: 230 Total Points: 987 1500 Point Force HQ: Master of Sanctity - MC Crozius Arcanum Points: 115 Elites: Dreadnought - Lascannon, Smoke Launchers Terminator Squad (5 Marines) - x2 Assault Cannon Points: 240 Troops: Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - x1 Heavy Bolter, Frag Grenades Points: 164 Tactical Squad (6 Marines) - x1 Lascannon Points: 105 Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - All Marines are CCW/B. Pistol equipped with Furious Assault. The Sgt has Terminator Honors and a Power Fist. Points: 210 Scout Squad (5 Marines) - All scouts are sniper-rifle equipped. Points: 90 Fast Attack: Assault Squad (9 Marines) - x1 Plasma Pistol, Furious Assault Points: 230 Heavy Support: Whirlwind Artillery - Storm Bolter (It has crossed my mind to replace this with a HK Missile) Points: 95 Predator Annihilator - Smoke Launchers Points: 123 Total Points: 1500 All thoughts on my planned expansion into the 1000+ world would be greatly appreciated. If you want to comment on the existing force, feel free to as well. Also, I should comment that in both forces, the Chaplain will be paired with the CCW/Bolt Pistol only squad.

a bit more anti-tank would also be advisable... right now at 1500pts you've currently got 3 lascannons. consider that at 1500pts, an imperial guard list for example can bring 3 av14 leman russ tanks to the table, on top of any chimeras, hellhound and/or sentinels! skimmers are also a huge threat as well. both tau and eldar can bring alot of them to the table... look at multi-shot S6-8 weapons for knocking those down. lascannons and krak rockets are less usefull against these targets are their high penetrative abilities are pointless. (99.9% of the time you'll only ever get glancing hits vs skimmers!) hope this helps, cheers!

| I'm still reworking the 1000 point force. I have definitely making some changes on the 1500 pt list based on your suggestions, which I cannot thank you kind peoples enough for. 1500 Point Force HQ: Master of Sanctity - Jump Pack, Bolt Pistol, Attached to the Assault Marines Points: 121 *I have no idea why I didn't realize that before. I had been toying with the idea of doing this though. He was remodeled today with a jump pack(which, btw, looks totally Bad-A. Elites: Dreadnought - Missile Launcher Terminator Squad (5 Marines) - x2 Assault Cannon Points: 240 *This will become 6-8 with a Term Chapter Master when I go to 1750-2000 Range. But for now, I don't really have the room. Troops: Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - x1 Heavy Bolter Points: 155 Tactical Squad (6 Marines) - x1 Lascannon Points: 105 Tactical Squad (10 Marines) - All Marines are CCW/B. Pistol equipped with Furious Assault. The Sgt has Terminator Honors and a Power Fist. Points: 210 *I will be changing these guys in the future, but right now they'll stay as is. I do recognize its a bad idea to keep them, but as I work out the list they will more than likely get a Drop Pod to put them right on top of the enemy. Scout Squad (6 Marines) - x5 Sniper Rifle, x1 Missile Launcher Points: 113 Fast Attack: Assault Squad (8 Marines) - Furious Assault, Frag Grenades Points: 208 *I removed the Plasma Pistol for 3 Reasons: 1. I needed the points for the HK Missile on the Whirlwind. 2. I didn't really want some guy exploding near by HQ. and 3. I didn't really like how I modeled it so much. Heavy Support: Whirlwind Artillery - Hunter-Killer Missile Points: 100 Predator Annihilator - Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Smoke Launchers Points: 133 Total Points: 1500 *He has one now.

| Does your chappy have a bolt pistol? It would really be a good idea to give him one... since you get +1A in CC and the ability to shoot before entering CC... Just thought I should point that out... Other than that, Stitch and Dan have given great advice.
