SM Lists For Consideration

I've got a few Ideas burning in my mind for a SM list. I really need to start finalizing which one I like the most so I can start building towards it. I already have Some components of these Armies, but I don't want to keep buying stuff unless I'm going to actually use it. So any help is greatly appreciated. AB is fail. I have to input things manually

Likes: 55 marine bodies. 12 missile launchers. 7 Las Plas shots. 9 Hunter Killer Missiles. 2 multi melta. 2 melta. 2 combi melta. 9 vehicle hulls. Seems fairly decent against most armies.
Dislikes: Low on the melta count so I have to use them carefully. No CC threat ( which I dont mind as much as the lack of melta).

1 Land Speeder Squadron, 70 pts = (base cost 50) + Multi-Melta x1 10 + Heavy Flamer x1 10

Likes: 60 marine Bodies. 6 melta guns, 2multi meltas, 4 las plas shots, 3 Dakka preds, 3 heavy flamer MM Landspeeders, 12 vehicles.
So what this one lacks in the brute force of the first list it gains back with incredible flexiblity. The tac squads combat squad giving me 4 missile launchers to shoot at 4 different targets. Dakka preds to mix it up, mobile meltas, plenty of high strengh shots.

1 Squad Leader, 15 pts

This one is a wolf list that speaks for itself. It's got tremendous brute force and flexibility, but its very fragile compared to the last 2 lists. Mainly with low leadership and a lack of a blob of troops for objective grabbing.


If you read this far down, you get an e-cookie for your troubles.

I like your 1st list because the lack of serious armor means that a lot of enemy AT will be wasted. At the same time, your vehicles will get popped quick as the high AT weapons will just target the little transports instead.

Personally I like the 2nd list, only because I like to see vanilla marines in an age when everyone seems to play SW or BA (from what my limited experience has shown me).

Thanks Dan!

unsure yet

This is what I'm going with.

Why space marines? Just curious.

I have a thing for making armies people think suck work. I don't know what to call it, but its something I've always enjoyed doing. The challenge of doing something difficult work well I guess. Did it with Tau, Eldar in their current state, and people say Nilla marines are subpar to the other marines. Tomb Kings in Fantasy, Americans in FoW, etc.... I'm not a fan of the easy button .
