Hi, happy new year!

I have in few days a local tournament, and althoug i am a usual tyranid player for this in particular i would like to run a marine army, but my painted models are very few, both in marines and in other extras, so finally i had reach the idea of playing a Cfists army with some veterans,due to the cost xD. I not very optimistic about it, moreover since i haven´t played no BT marines this edition.

As always, thanks in advance!

Reply out:

The Vets are walking, I take it? This strikes me as bad. At least Pod them. Lysander is giving them a better first strike capability than normal Vets, but in the end...once caught in CC, your Veterans are not as effective. I'd reduce the Vets to one squad with max combi-meltas. With Lysander around they don't really need a sarge with melta weapons but a power fist on him couldn't hurt.

Ditch the other sternguard squad and make it a 3rd tactical squad.

Your tacticals should be equipped with missile launchers not heavy bolters.

Flamer/missile or melta/missile is fine, you should probably keep them together instead of combat-squad'ing.

The tacticals don't need power weapons. A meltabomb on the sarge is fine.

If the LRC does not have Extra Armor, it should.

Hope that helps. :)

You are right, first marine army xD. I’ll do as you counsel, but I’m willing to do some questions:

-Where may I place Kantor and Lys? I think on Lys + veterans, but Kantor I don’t know if use him with termis or with the bunch of marines, +1 attack and some survival in assaults (counter charge?)

-I also would like to learn about the veterans + Drop pod, is obvious that you target and destroy one or 2 vehicles (if you use combat squad) but then, they are a free piece of cake for the opponent, 10 man in middle field or his own, even more that if he go o the reserve you are totally lost with that unit, don’t you?

This is the modified list, and thank for your advices!!!
