Well.. I've been trying to redesign a list I was unhappy with.
I struggled to find my play style with Marines and I'm thinking I can fix it with a minimum of changes.
My goal is to push to the middle and claim the middle ground and any objectives there. This will require speed to get there and force to push anyone who is there off.
I figure if I can control the flow in the middle of the battlefield then I can subsequently push forward to the enemy's backfield.
Here's a list of stuff I took out:
Ironclad with drop pod
Dreadnought with drop pod
5 man sometimes 10 man sternguard squad with rhino and combi-meltas.
Cato Sicarius
Stuff I added:
Librarian - Epistolary.
5 Assault Terminators
a Land Raider Crusader - subject to change
3 Land Speeder Tornados
--------------------------
So I have a new dilemma. I took off the Librarian TDA, and I changed the Land Raider Crusader to a Redeemer... but now I actually have 10 points left over!
I thought about dropping the lascannon from one squad, which leaves me with 20 points, and I thought about dropping the Extra armor from the Redeemer which leaves me with 35 points, I could drop a melta to get the TDA on the Libby back but I could just keep him in his land raider too.. I also thought about adding a chaplain as a second HQ to reroll hits on the charge with the termies...
Too many choices!
Alternatively I don't know what to do with 10 to 35 points depending on what I keep or drop.
Here's the new list:
[HQ]
Librarian; w/ Epistolary
[TROOPS]
10x Tactical Squad; Meltagun, Lascannon
Sergeant; Chainsword
Rhino
10x Tactical Squad; Meltagun, Missile Launcher
