The thing every marine player wishes he/she could yell at a guard player:
"We have you outnumbered!"

That's also the greatest fear of some Guard players. And oddly enough, it's entirely possible if you take only Vets...

easy to counter.
1 command. 2 vets. 3 leman russ. In fact there are probably some points left over, I wouldn't bother using them to add extra smirking to the end result.
hahaha

Never underestimate what a smurf can do to a tank if it gets close. The minute those 51 marines get into charge range is the minute you're screwed.

siaz23 you are absolutely right, I could think of a lot of ways to crack this nut, but I still think it would be kinda fun to play around with(simple but fun.)

the only way this could get any better is if it was a Blood angel list.
Led by tyco (captian w/ bolter-melta)
5 tac Squads ml, flamer
5 DC marines.
Now that Would be fun!!! ;D

I would use Corbs - Tycho is such a fail character with his load-out. And he died anyway... I think the Emperor shed a bloody tear when that happened.
ymmoT, don't forget to split some of those into combat squads to further frustrate you enemy. It's fun lists like this that make me wish we still had the old 'diy chapter' system. Infiltrating this would be epic!

Combat squads all the way, for sure.

Of course, why wouldn't you take use combat squads with this list?
It's ten squads your opponent has to take down before they hit his lines.

Ooooh, I forgot about the commander. Alright, so 9 5 man Combat Squads and a 6 man Combat Squad led by a Commander. That's gonna hit pretty hard.

now...does the commader with the combi melta+powersword go with the meltagun or one of the flamers?
(because that is currently the only way the Captain of the 5th rolls...)

I would put him with the Flamers. Just because it would be more fun to flame a squad, then chew it apart in CC.

thats probably best...
a lot of the time that single melta shot gets used to assassinate lone ICs or blasted into the face of monsterous creatures.

That's also why it would work well in the Flamer squad. As it is generally a guaranteed wound in most cases. Also, you're walking around with only a five man Tac Squad, which can really benefit from that extra high strength shot into potentially dangerous IC's or Monstrous Creatures that can wipe them out in a single turn of combat.
Edit: Hey, with this post, I seemed to have mastered war!
