I have around 60 points left to spend in my list....
Should I go for a unit (or 2) of Ratling Snipers, or should I stretch it and include Guardsman Marbo? What do you guys think?
Cheers!

Yeah, there are a lot of good options at 60 Points, but a lot of it depends on what it's going to be working with.
My go-to here would probably be an Aegis Line or another Guard Squad with a Meltagun or Flamer/Meltabombs, but those might not work as well in your build.

My list has (were working off of a 200 points a month schedule): 1 Commissar Lord 1 Ministorum Priest 1 Melta Veteran Squad (no doctrine) 1 Infantry Platoon - Command Squad - 2 flamers - Guard Squad, flamer, lascannon team - Guard Squad, flamer, lascannon team 2 Penal Legion Squads 2 Scout Sentinels 1 Valkyrie (Missile Pod) 1 Leman Russ (Exterminator or Battletank, im undecided) (Heavy Bolter Sponsons) The Priest is there because of the ruleset we are using for increasing our monthly army. This list is clocking in at 935 points, so I could fit in Marbo, some Snipers, or focus on getting some wargear to round it out better. As for another squad, I'm tapped out modelwise, I just dont have enough figures to make that happen at this time  |

Could you also play an underweight list and save those 60 points for something big next time the points limit goes up? Or does it not work that way?

I would go with a chimera. Your men need protecting.

Mortars!
One can always find a use for mortars.

Marbo! Find the extra five points and throw in the Bastard Marbo. He may be a one shot thing but hes worth it.

The 1000 point is the final step for our little project, so unfortunately there is no next step....well unless we decide to keep going ^_^ But the way deal with playing underweight lists now is by juggling special weapons and such, so I can swap them out next time up, at the moment we are at the 600 point mark.
As for the Chimera, I plan to stick the melta vets in the valkyrie, and keep my platoon sitting in the deployment zone as a blob to hopefully pick off some of the scarier stuff with their lascannons. Flamers are there to either make people hesitant to charge them or to make them fall short in range. Only one who could benefit from one would be the command squad, unless off course I use the chimera as a mobile turret of sorts...
Only mortars I have dont belong to this army, my model choice is limited unfortunately.
Thanks all!

A unit of mortars (better snipping than snipers) or Marbo, those are the best options in my opinion.
