Blog Entries: 1 | well you won't need the melta bombs in a game this size, you won't be facing anything that big. also the marine squad is very underpowered, try to get a few more bodies in there. loose the "venerable" part of the dread and just run with the normal one, and drop the hk missile off the rhino. that should free up enough points to beef the tac squad up a bit.

 | I've gotta agree with ya hairy. At this size game numbers are everything. More bodies for the blood god and that jazz I suppose. We pay quite a bit for 'rines, so cut down on the expenditure list. On the captain drop the melta bombs and the bionics (your never gonna use it my friend). Drop melta bombs on the tac squad, can you give them a melta. (you might meet something out there that requires this (insta-kill a crisis suit or two, that falcon grav tank zipping round). I would actually consider dropping the dread full stop and roll in another to squads (5man tac and 5 scout - snipers this time) And the rhino - drop the pintle stormbolter (you get one for free - why take two?) and drop the hunter killer and pop some smokes on - few points saved there  Now back with new listy....

Blog Entries: 3   | In all honesty, drop the scout squad or an SM squad and max out the body size on the rest of your squads. 5 man squads, even for SM, are fragile.

| Actually, I personally like that basic set up with the five man squads, it allows him to deploy on a wider front and shoot at multiple targets. Sure its a little fragile, but thats ok. Now, with your extra points, i would take a flamer in that all bolter armed marine squad!

| yea i think this is a pretty solid list. while [as mentioned] it might be a thinner line of fire, it is more continuous/more covered because you have more squads to spread around, so it looks pretty solid.. and it's weird to give a plug for myself, but if you have a friend/know someone who plays IG you can convert a flamer pretty easily...i wrote a tutorial on it [awkward pause...] haha if you want it, it's here but it comes in the tactical squad box, so if you're building your army out of those then the converted flamer is obviously unnecessary. :] good luck ! -ant
