This is my preferred list, though usually I try (and don't always succeed) to focus on rosters, and customize each list depending on the scenario and opponent. Most of my lists end up being a variant of this (one way or another) if I'm going up against MEQs. If I'm going against hordes, I'll probably drop the plasma and one of the missiles, and throw down some more bolters (yay bodies). I love sniper on the plasma for the rerolling of 1s in particular. Pretty safe to overcharge that way. + Leader + Intercessor Sergeant: Bolt rifle, Leader, Power sword + Specialists + Reiver Sergeant: Bolt carbine, Combat knife, Veteran Tactical Marine Gunner: Plasma gun, Sniper Tactical Marine Gunner: Demolitions, Missile launcher + Non-specialists + Scout Gunner: Camo Cloak, Missile launcher Scout Gunner: Heavy bolter

This is my favourite thread ever, just wanted to say that. Honestly, I don't see painting to a decent standard too daunting a task for someone with your industriousness. I'm assuming (and this is a fairly safe assumption) that you will have an industrial paint sprayer. 1. Basecoat all models. 2. apply single colour to all models 3. Spray on ink to models 4. Detail work (joints, eagles, etc) with a brush, one colour at a time to groups of 5 or 10. 5. Take lots of photos so we can continue drooling. --Me

It's not too bad, just remember that people show up on the "Thursday" game day, but not so much on the Saturday game day ;) It is a rather small community, though. --Me
