Thanks Trooper Well you didn't have to wait too long cause here's more.... Just 2 more bikes and the Techmarine left. I built my Captain last night out of spare parts and I'm quite pleased with him, you'll just have to wait to see him though! Cosmic

Well here's the update, only 3 and half hours later =D I've only made the two squads, I've still got a Rhino and Scout Squad left to make! Combat Squad Commander Assault Squad Techmarine Tactical Squad Bikes Thats what I have so far, and as you may have noticed, the left over blocks of resin from the Mk 4 Armour make really good looking concrete baricades! I've decided to make them look as cool as possible, such as the 2 Assault Marines with Bolters even though they may not be game legal. Like I said, I still have Scouts and the Rhino to do but I have a problem..... I HATE the normal Marine legs, they're so small compared to all the running pose ones that I've used, and I have loads of them left now!! I refuse to use them... So if anyone wants any spare SM legs, PM me! Cosmic

So much glorious golden goodness in those pics, Cosmic.
The great thing about marine armies is that they're so small. E.g - a librarian and 2 full tactical squads on foot, are about 500 points. You'll have an Apoc sized force in no time, considering how fast you've painted this lot...

Thanks Chem Yeah they are good, I don't know fully yet what sort of force I want this to be. I'm going to include a Dreadnought, another Rhino and some sort of heavier Tank, possibly a Land Raider. At the moment it's a lot of Bolters, no anti-vehicle or anything so I need to get a couple of somethings just to deal with armour. The anti-infantry portion is sorted for the moment.

Razorbacks with twin-lascannons, the odd missile launcher in a tactical squad, a predator with the lascannon options and devastator squads are the main anti-tank.
I think most players these days favour the mass razorback option, but I have a soft spot for devastators. Thunderfire cannons are devastating artillery pieces, but much flimsier than devastators; after all there is only one crewman. And another thing - a veteran player told me once never to put lascannons in a tactical squad, so if you're going to get lascannons, stick them in a dev squad and split it into 2 x 5 man fire teams... And to make things legal - 5 man tac squads get no special weapons anymore (strange, I know...)

I don't want to know what you secreted! How do you have sexual contact with a square exactly? My Terminators may not make it into this army as they're a different yellow and they stick out like sore thumb, and I'm very picky! Thank you Shostak Cosmic

Just make sure you don't go over 3 heavy support slots. The razorback is free, as it's a transport for a small 5-6 man squad, the devastator squad is one slot and the land raider will be another. That leaves you with a third heavy support slot free. Although a fast attack assault squad might be another decent idea. They could support the termies and bikers, who will be operating close in.. And flamers; get some flamers in the assault squads.. (one flamer per 5 marines for the assault marines)
