Pre-Heresy Space Marines

[Sickboy]

Hey guys, long term reader of the articles, first time poster.

Was thinking about Jwolf's recent redundancy list and decided to throw something reasonably diverse and flexible, with a decent bit of killing power attached to it. What do you guys think? What is it missing, where are points being wasted?

The basic premise is the Librarian rolls with the termies in the land raider and exists to either blast tough adversaries with either Doom or flame marines with Avenger and Strength to allow him to make a serious threat to IC's. Apart from that it has some nice mobile anti-tank, some of which is throwaway, some of which is not. The ironclad is just there for funsies.

The points on your sternguard are off, it should be 195pts before the Rhino, no 220pts. Sternguard already pay through the nose for their special ammo, you're should use a different unit to play anti-tank than spending your points there.

Hmm, might switch it to a command squad along the lines of;

Command Squad
2 melta guns, 2 power weapons,company standard.
Rhino with smoke launchers.
230

And then throw the 40 floating points into getting a multimelta in the bike squad by dropping the sergeant's combi-melta..

With those missing points, you can give your Tactical squad with the flamer/missile launcher a powerfist, or take a 7th sternguard member.
