Lately, I've been having difficulty writing Vanilla Marine lists, mostly because of my personal belief that the Space Wolf codex is the best Power Armored codex (my personal opinion has Grey Hunters being the best Troops choice in the game).
I'm starting up a new Marine force for a Badab War campaign going on soon at my LGS. I've decided to go Raptors, as I like their fluff a lot.

1760
Lias Issodon: 140
Honour Guard: 360
-5x, champion thunder hammer, chapter banner, 4 relic blades
-Razorback: twin-linked assault cannon
Tactical Squad: 245
-10x, plasma gun, heavy bolter, sarge power fist
-Razorback: twin-linked heavy bolter
Tactical Squad: 240
-10x, meltagun, missile launcher, sarge power fist
-Razorback: twin-linked heavy bolter
Scout Squad: 110
-5x, bolters, heavy bolter, sarge power fist
Scout Squad: 90
-5x, sniper rifles, camo-cloaks
Assault Squad: 235
-10x, 2 flamers, sarge power fist
Devastator Squad: 230
-5x, 2 lascannons, 2 missile launchers
-Razorback: twin-linked heavy bolter
Whirlwind: 85
Some people will not like my Devastator squad, because it's too expensive for what it does. Like I mentioned in another post in another thread, I sometimes have good luck with lascannons, so they're staying.
Aside from Scouts and a LSS, I'm not really sure what else to add. I'd like to avoid drop pods, as I HATE assembling them. I was thinking of a MotF, to combine with Issodon's Chapter Tactics. Gotta love boosted cover.
EDIT: Updated list
EDIT2: Oops, realized that Issodon is cheaper than I thought. Total points updated.
