Thanks Rock,and don't worry they'll be supported by some Catachans so that won't be trying anything funny.
As for the Chaplain's helmet,that's supposed to represent the skull helmet I think for my Champlain model I'll go with the jumpack model put him in a 10 man assault squad and do some minor conversion work on him.

I'm going to use Sicarius model as my Captain,(He'll either represent a regular Captain,Khan or Sicarius),hopefully by the time I start painting characters I'll have the army scheme down(I don't paint very many models as in novice,maybe ten models all the way with minor highlighting,but I think I can learn through practice and besides it's just paint it comes off easy).

Hmm I'll pull a question out of the random cr@p hat.

What do you guys think of a very tactically based force,Sternguard Tactical squads(Duh)some Assault squads maybe a Dreadnought.

Character wise I could use preety much anyone,most probably Sicarius(Love the model).

Tactically based? The most common kind of army list that is about 1000pt~1500pt that I see for Space Marine players are...

A Cap'n or some other heor they want

2~4 tactical squad, usually with rhino or DP

1 Assault mehreen

1~2 Devastators

DEFINITELY A PREDATOR

1 Scout

1 Dread or 1~2 LS or Vindicator or Whirlwind (<- Whirlwind vs Ork/IG = Stupid)

Usually in 1500pt game, a squad of termies



In almost any game against mehreens, I go prepared for at least 1 predator.

I actually like the sounds of that army,I'd drop one Devastator squad for a Sternguard squad(Again I love the models).

Forgot to mention I'll most likely get a squad of Termies,but I had a question.

Which is better regular Termies or Assault Termies?

You do know that Sternguard are just fancy tactical combat squad?

Anyways, I don't know their effectivness, since most of them tend to get wiped on the floor by 2nd turn..

Termies? Assault termie or shooty termie, yes?

Some people like AT more now, due to the new storm shield (But the normal shooty termies is still the mainstream), but in muy opinion, termies should not be wasted like that. A squad of termie with assault cannon or cyclone, depending on your preference (but I see more AC than CM due to rending rule).

If you do take assault termie, I suggest you take land raider. I would hate a unit that big of a point to... you know, go splat over a DS.

Yea I know but they present a huge modeling challenge to me,I think I'll pick up the metal box and convert five Tacticals over to Sternguard with all manner of upgraded weapons and such.

Sounds like excellent advice to me :) .

I think I'll pick up AOBR and the Space Marine battleforce to get me started I should have a good sized wad of cash by the end of the month. :D

Since you are going Jungle themed, I would take alot of units with flamers and heavy flamers. Redeemer Landraider would be nice with your Termies. I know BoLS will be releasing a minidex with additional rules of fluff for the Badab War so it might give you more idea's for your chapter.

That's exactly what I was thinking,the Badab war is one of my favorite periods right after the Hersey.Brother against brother,equal versus equal there can be no winner(I know I sound like an arena announcer.)

Flamers and Melta think is what my main assault weapons will be.(And no I don't want to Vulkan he catches alot of flak as far as I can see)
