3. Troops

Shooty squad
5 Marines w/ lascannon (x1), plasma gun (x1), bolter (x3)
Sergeant w/ bolter

I notice here that you recommend a 5-man squad when above, you advised even-numbered squads.  Seems a simple oversight.  I sometimes play using such 5-man squads when points are scarce, but generally, you're correct in suggesting 6-man squads instead.

5 marines + the Sergeant = 6 man squad  ;)

Guys, I need some feedback as this article should be published at the SM website.

Marines were the first army I picked up, about 8 years ago.  Even so, I STILL found this post informative.  Your suggestions for upgrades, and the explainations for taking X but not Y or Z were most useful.

Nice to hear, if you need a hand (editing, proofing, etc -  anything) let me know, as I understand how much work these things really can be.

PS... maybe a few pics would be a nice touch as well.

Well, 2 words, IT ROCKS! i used your shooty force army list on a games night, and i faced TYRANIDS! I thought i'd lose, because tyranids are cc mostly, and i got stuff to kill them at range, but not in cc. but when we came to the gaming table, i saw it was a city! that means i just had to go into the buildings. and guess what? ONE SM Squad took out like 16 termagaunts in a round, thanks to your list! i won a crushing victory and i'm still famous for that! Thanks man! (5th ed  of 40k ofc)
