Initial Order of Space Marines and a 1000 point list.

  First off Merry Christmas everyone and if you don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Sunday!  So I think I've figured out my initial order of Space Marines.  This will get me to 1000 points, probably not the most competitive list, but its a good starting off point.

From Miniature Market (I don't know if I've sung the praises of these people enough, but 25% off GW prices plus free shipping on orders over 99.)
2 Dark Angel Ravenwing Battleforce-  157.50
1 Space Marine Scouts with Sniper Rifles - 18.75
1 Space Marine Land Speeder Storm - 22.50
Total: 198.75 w/ Free Shipping

From GW
1 Empire Engineer on Mechanical Steed - 20.00
Total: 20.00 w/ Free Shipping (Technically you only get free shipping on orders over 30.00 but I'll get something to bump it up to 30, because I'm not paying them 7 dollars for shipping.)

From Puppetswar

3xNative American head  29.61 

Total:29.61 plus 2.12 shipping

Grand Total:  250.48

  At least for the time being, I've talked myself out of doing the Eagle Warriors shoulderpads.  I can always get them later, but for the time being I want to either try to do something myself, or find else online that isn't already the symbol of a Space Marine Chapter.

  I still need to make a decision on the tomahawks, but there is going to be soooo much more assembling and converting to do, I don't want that to be holding up the process.

Now, for the 1000 point list.


HQ (205pts)
    * Kor'Sarro Khan (205pts)
           Moondrakken

Troops (545pts)
    * Scout Squad (130pts)
        * 4x Scout
            4x Camo Cloaks, Missile Launcher, 3x Sniper Rifle
        * Scout Sergeant
            Camo Cloak, Melta Bombs, Power Fist, Sniper Rifle

    * Space Marine Bike Squad (Troops) (200pts)
        2x Plasma Gun, 4x Space Marine Biker
        * Biker Sergeant
            Melta Bombs, Power Fist

    * Space Marine Bike Squad (Troops) (215pts)
        2x Meltagun, 5x Space Marine Biker
        * Biker Sergeant
            Melta Bombs, Power Fist

 Fast Attack (250pts)

    * Land Speeder Squadron (100pts)
        * Land Speeder
            Multi-Melta, Typhoon Missile Launcher

    * Land Speeder Squadron (100pts)
        * Land Speeder
            Multi-Melta, Typhoon Missile Launcher

    * Land Speeder Storm (50pts)
        Heavy Bolter

  That's every model that I'll have bought in the initial order.  You'll notice that one of the bike squads is 1 man fewer than the other one.  That is because I'll have to steal 1 marine for converting into my Kor'Sarro Khan (tentatively name Sitting Bull...take that Custer) so I'll end up with a spare bike, which is fine because it will eventually be used, I just need to find a bitz site that will sell me a pair space marine biker legs.

  Everything will move quickly, the 5 scouts will be able to load up into the Land Speeder Storm and help me capture any objectives that are in buildings that my bikers can't get to, and with the powerfist and missile launcher and sniper rifles, cause a little havoc along the way.
