First, your chaptain has no ranged weaponry, making him stand out a bit in a shoot/punch/shoot squad. If you want to keep the LCx2, why not give him an auxiliary grenade launcher as well? After all, you'll be well within 12' if you want to assault. The second thing is the thunder hammer on the assault squad. Spess elves don't have all that many multi-wound models, so the initiative reducing effect is mostly wasted on them. +1 pen isn't that big of a deal either. For the same price, you could get a PFx2, potentially doubling your damage potential. Except of course, if you know the other guy is gonna go crazy on the tuff elites, or bring the Avatar. Then, by all means, do keep your hammer. ...on slightly unrelated news, I've kind of fallen in love with the assault marine models. Man, those jump packs are a blast to paint.

Last time I completely wiped out a squad in a single turn. Expensive as hell, but usually worth the points. The captain, well, I've got nothing better, I could use my standard captain, but he rarely does anything useful. On an unrelated note, anyone know where I can get some 1/35 models on the cheap? I'm currently looking at m113 bradleys to use as rhinos, but the things usually cost about 30£. And that's even more expensive than GW prices.

After assembling and painting 25 Guardsmen, suddenly I had a whole lot of space. I screwed up more than I care to admit. And I tried washes. That ♥♥♥♥ is hard. My brother can do it much better than I can.

Modified for Codex: Space Marines (2008) and 5th Ed. by Homer S v 1.6d Models in Army: 22 The devastators are a bit of a gamble, but given the fact that they spit out 8 god damned rockets per turn, and two of them on hitting on a 2+ mind you, kind of make me want to go all out. I've mostly been playing against orks these days and on sucj a small amount of points it can get pretty ridiculous on how easily they overwhelm pretty much anything that can't shoot fast enough.

As to the missile launcher, I'd say go for it. Two frag hits can break a medium unit of boys with ease, even if they're 'ard boyz, and kraks will instawreck any trukks you come by.
