"Everybody Scores"

   It's bad on a girl's T-Shirt but good in 40k.  In honor of 7th edition coming out this weekend, here's a first pass at an 1850 point Space Marine list:

  Armour of Antilochus

Heavy Support

• Stormraven Gunship
  Extra Armour, Storm Strike Missile, Twin Linked Lascannons, Twin Linked Multi Meltas        

What's in the list:  

• Powerful scoring units
• Option to pass or fail any Morale test (thanks Calgar)
• Ability to use a single Doctrine twice in a game (thanks again, Calgar)
• A great flyer that haul dudes around to objectives

My actual troop units are very small but my opponent will have to kill every one of them to get them off an objective.  I will need to be somewhat clever with objective placement to keep them out of the line of fire.  Power armored models aren't that hard to erase.

The Stormraven is almost a given in my SM lists for obvious reasons.  It's very good and with the new Vehicle Damage chart for 7th edition it got a little better - along with practically every other vehicle out there.

The meat and potatoes of the list are clearly the elites.  They are the aforementioned "Powerful scoring units."  Sterngard are Sterngard, and do what Sterngard normally do: shoot things to death.  They have decent ant-vehicle power but could have more with some combi-weapons.  The Assault Terminators can be a walking death star or broken up into combat squads for various nefarious purposes.

Another option is to drop the Assault Terminators for a Devastator Centurion Squad.  This could help out a lot with what I feel to be a shortage of good AT shooting in the current list.
