A while ago I put forward an 1850 point list that basically revolved around Spamming Ironclads by virtue of a Master of the Forge with back up from Typhoons and Las/Plas Razorbacks.
It's here for reference purposes.
My problem was that I was unconvinced of it's viability at 1500 points as I was sure it needed the support units to make it work.
However with a bit of tweaking and the resurrection of the 'MotF c/w Conversion Beamer with Camo Cloak Scouts' from the original 'Best-Of' Marine list I think it might just work.
1500 Pts - Space Marines Roster - Ironclads
HQ: Master of the Forge (1#, 120 pts)
1 Master of the Forge @ 120 pts (Conversion Beamer)
Troops: Scout Squad (5#, 100 pts)
4 Scout Squad @ 100 pts (Camo Cloaks; Sniper Rifle x3; Missile Launcher)
1 Sergeant (Camo Cloaks; Bolt Pistol; Bolter)
Troops: Tactical Squad (6#, 175 pts)
4 Tactical Squad @ 175 pts (Razorback)
1 Sergeant (Bolt Pistol; Bolter)
1 Razorback (Searchlight; Smoke Launchers; Hunter Killer Missile; Lascannon and TL Plasmagun)
Troops: Tactical Squad (6#, 175 pts)
4 Tactical Squad @ 175 pts (Razorback)
1 Sergeant (Bolt Pistol; Bolter)

1 Ironclad Dreadnought @ 155 pts (Hunter-Killer Missile(s) x2)

Heavy Support: Ironclad Dreadnought (1#, 155 pts)
1 Ironclad Dreadnought @ 155 pts (Hunter-Killer Missile(s) x2)
Total Roster Cost: 1500
It has pretty good 'Alpha-Strike' potential with the 14 Hunterkillers though it is a bit low on Troops (which is why the Scout Squad has made a comeback).
Of all the potential GT lists I've posted this is the one I'm least sure of as it has the inevitable weaknesses that all 'themed' lists are usually cursed with.
It is what it is, I suppose....
Constructive comments are (as usual) most welcome.
