5th ed Ultramarines armylists

[BobbieTheDamned]

Hi Guys,

I thought I'd post up my proposed army lists for 5th ed. Basicly my plan is to have as many marines as I can so I can just slowly advance across the board and take lots of the objectives with weight of numbers.

500pts
HQ
Chaplain Cassius - 125pts cheap as anything and nasty as hell
TROOPS
Tactical squad with Missile Launcher and Flamer -170pts  yay for 'free' heavy weapons!
Tactical squad with Missile Launcher and Flamer -170pts
Total- 465pts.

I'm not quite sure what to spend the extra 35pts on, I'm tempted to stick a tac squad into a rhino for early objective grabbing but I'm not sure. Any suggestions?

1000pts
HQ
Chaplain Cassius - 125pts
ELITES
5 Sternguard. Sergent with Powerfist and a veteran each with a combi plasmagun and a combi melta. 160pts quite a killy squad but not very survivable so they'd end up with cassius as a strike squad/counter attack squad to help clear an objective.
TROOPS
Tactical squad with Missile Launcher and Flamer -170pts
Tactical squad with Missile Launcher and Flamer -170pts
Tactical squad with Heavy Botler and Plasmagun -185pts
Tactical squad with Heavy Botler and Plasmagun -185pts
Total- 995pts.

ooo 5pts what to do with that, probably one squad will get meltabombs that they'll never use!


1500pts
HQ
Chaplain Cassius - 125pts
Captain with powerfist and plasmapistol - 140pts
Command squad with company banner, powerfist and two plasmapistols - 185pts
ELITES
10 Sternguard. Sergent with Powerfist and a veteran each with a combi plasmagun and a combi melta. 160pts
TROOPS
Tactical squad with Missile Launcher and Flamer -170pts
Tactical squad with Missile Launcher and Flamer -170pts
Tactical squad with Heavy Botler and Plasmagun -185pts
Tactical squad with Heavy Botler and Plasmagun -185pts
Total- 1452pts.

Again the 48 extra points don't leave me with much I can buy, either it'd be a rhino for one squad and some meltabombs or a razorback.

dude how much are razor backs? if u can get one for 48pts then aya carumba!

[BobbieTheDamned]

A basic razorback with twin heavy bolters is 40pts. Other weapons are more expensive (25 for heavy flamers and 35 for anything else).

Yeah GW have made transports cheap this codex.
