Here's my 500pt. ultramarines list.

HQ-
Captain-Plasma Pistol,Power Fist, Jump Pack-120pts

Troops-
Tactical Squad-Sergeant(Chainsword and Boltpistol) 3xBolter Marine, Flamer: 81pts

Tactical Squad-Sergeant(Bolter) 3xBolter Marine, Missile Launcher:86pts.

1xRhino-50pts

Heavy Support-
Predator Ahnilator-Lascannon Side Sponsons:145pts.

Total:481pts.

I hope you all like it. I've got everthing but the tanks.
Back in business.

In smaller games you need numbers.
I suggest to use an army like this:

Reclusiarch w/ bolt pistol, terminator honours, frags - 102 pts

Tactical squad - 190 pts
9 Marines w/ melta
Vet Serg w/ power fist

Tactical squad - 190 pts
9 Marines w/ plasma gun
Vet Serg w/ power fist

You could add a lascannon just in case the army sits back for shooting.

In general, I'd agree with Wuestenfux, however, working with your list rather than compltely changing it, I'd suggest the following...

Lose the plasma pistol from the Captain, it's not worth the risk.  The jump pack is not worth it unless he is attached to a similarly equipped assault squad.  Also, the power fist is a waste of his higher initiative, a power weapon/lightning claw(S) is a better option.  (If you've already made the model, then I wouldn't worry too much for the time being - plenty of time to change him later.

If you haven't allready got the Pred yet, I'd hold off and get some more troops first.  Bulk out the Flamer squad (+2-3 chaps) and stick them in the Rhino if you want to keep that.  Use the rest of the spare points to get an assault squad, you'd probably be best going for a larger squad with less gucci kit if points are at a premium (although a vet sgt is the ideal place for a power fist).

Hope this helps

Yeah. If you want armoured things THAT much, then take a Dread instead = more fun

You'll lose your friends is you show up with a Pred. Ann. or a Vindicator...THIS IS THE PERFECT CHEESE TOURNEY LIST BTW ENJOY:

Castellan w. Boltpistol & CC.weapon

2x 5 Space Marines w. Boltpistols & CC weapons

1 Land Raider Crusader

I think about 20 points are left over...equip your HQ with them ( for example with artificer armour) and you'll win every tourney!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Now where was I? Oh yeah, if you want to play fair and let your friends also have fun in the game, then I suggest no tanks in 500p games except transports. ;)
I totally quit 40kO 4-eva!
I knew of the rules yet refused to follow them.
I also most likely had a 1/5 of the Brain.

drop the pred. that is a must. to replace it i would get a land speeder(w/ assult cannon) and beef up your troop squads. I would drop the jump pack on the commander, give him lightning claws, and termie honors, and put him with the rhino squad. then you have a fairly beefy squad in the rhino, a very deadly(more so than the pred) and very fast, but less complained about vehicle. and you have a good fire support squad to back you up. something like this:

commander(or caplain, if so give him nothing)
-lightning claws
-termie honours

marine squad one
-5 men
--missile launcher

marine squad two
-8 men
--vet sarge w/ pwr fist
--melta
--rhino transport

land speeder tornado

I think thats about 500. if its too much, go with the chaplain, he is cheaper, and better for this kind of army now that i look back on it.
