SM 1000pt. Drop Pod Team

[Deleted]

Hey Hive!

Im throwing together a fluffy SM list at 1000pts. Space marines arent my favorite but i have the models so i figured i should make a playable army out of them - i just want to make it more interesting than a couple squads lumbering up the field in rhinos (which are GW's ugliest, dumpiest looking models IMHO) Plus im building a board thats an imperial city under attack so i figured a drop pod army would be perfect for it in terms of fluff - reinforcements for the battered city, etc
Anyway, here it is

HQ

Librarian - 130
-Terminator armor, Storm Bolter

Ellites

Terminator Squad - 230
-Assault Cannon

Sternguard Veteran Squad - 185
-Combi Plasmas
-Drop Pod

Troops

Tactical Squad - 220
-Multimelta
-Meltagun
-Combi Melta
-Drop Pod

Tactical Squad - 230
-Plasma Cannon
-Plasma Gun
-Combi Plasma
-Drop Pod


Total = 995

What to do with extra 5 points?
Which powers to give librarian?

All in all what do you think of this list? How user freindly is it for someone who, quite honestly, just sort of sucks at the game?

Well, I will point out, a new space marine codex is dropping in less than a week...

Probably unless you plan to play this list in the next few days and never again it won't ever be played.

That said, this list is seriously lacking in the anti infantry department. Also heavy weapons and drop pods are not a good combination due to the fact that they can only snap fire the turn they deploy. That means that the turn it drops, the plasma cannon guy can only shoot his bolt pistol.

Also tactical terminators are largely considered to be overcosted. Particularly with extra weapon options.

I would probably drop the multimelta guy and the plasma cannon guy, just replace the whole plasma tac squad with flamer and combi flamer if you have them. And consider replacing the librarian with Pedro so those sternguard can score. Put him in with the terminators so that they get an extra attack each, and field very aggressively.

Probably the biggest challenge you would face is the lack of backfield objective holders since this list is pretty much all in on the aggressive front.

Haha shut doown. Seriously thanks for the reply though. Augh i always seem to buy armies' worst models. At least my drop pods are paperhammered. I might just cut my losses and switch to Blood Angels lol
