When did spam become interesting?

That's a frightening ammount of plasma/melta. O.o

Flyers will give it problems though.

am sorry the idea of 18-22 metlaguns and 18-22 plasma guns amused me.

just feel like abbadon is really wasting space... he need a cheaper platform as he cost alot already.

Correction that frightening amount of SCORING plasma/melta. it wouldn't even need to be THAT boring, do each chosen unit in a different legion colour scheme.

now if you can just get dice that don't roll 1's to hit...

Six plasma open fire, 12 shots *rhino too* 8 hits, 7 wounds, one guy takes a save, or rhino (hopefully) loses a hull point. its not that bad. i mean that much fire power just killed terminators in the open. easy.

With the melta... well you know the score. that monster/tank just died. you could even drop the upgrades on the raider and change it so there is 4 plasma squads two melta squads.

[zephoid]

run 4 plasma 1 melta in every squad. Nothing in the game needs 5 meltas to kill it. also makes target prioritization hard since they cant jut focus the melta down in a vehicle heavy list.

[robomummy]

I might be remembering wrong but cant combi-weapons only fire one shot as the plasma, melta, flamer per game? if im right then youll need to really pick your moments for using these weapons.

Lacking....

36 marines at almost 2k, and of the vehicles, only one is durable enough to be immune to a heavy bolter...

Unless the CSM rhinos have more firepoints, you still have to get out to fire 3/5 of those weapons. In order to get out, you can't move more than 6"....And once you get out, your 5-man squads are just done for.

I'm not an amazing Marine player, but I'm pretty sure I could crush this list with a 1k list...It's just a matter of not having range, durability, or numbers. Plus, this list can't cope with flyers (I suppose, the stupid flyers that fly into plas range are in trouble, but as we can pre-measure, I don't see the issue).

Maybe being too negative, but I think this sort of list will see lots of trouble trying to win.

Rhinos not durable enough? Try:

Abaddon

6×Chosen w/ 4×Plasma Gun, Meltagun
6×Chosen w/ 4×Plasma Gun, Meltagun
6×Chosen w/ 4×Plasma Gun, Meltagun

Chaos Land Raider

Comes in under 1500 points. While we're having fun. Or if you want to keep to 1850, here's another option without diluting the theme of the list too much:

Chaos Lord w/ Mark of Nurgle, Combi-Plasma, Lightning Claw, Meltabombs

5×Chosen w/ 4×Plasma Gun, Meltagun
5×Chosen w/ 4×Plasma Gun, Meltagun
5×Chosen w/ 4×Plasma Gun, Meltagun

5×Plague Marines w/ 2×Plasma Gun, Meltabombs, Rhino
5×Plague Marines w/ 2×Plasma Gun, Meltabombs, Rhino
5×Plague Marines w/ 2×Plasma Gun, Meltabombs, Rhino
