Hate or love the film, my question is this:

If you had the same points to work what would you bring in the thunderhawk for the mission.

The rules:
1. Doesn't have to be dex legal, the movie wasn't I believe. (although don't play SMs)
2. Can be from any SM dex, SWa, BAs, DA, etc.
3. Has to be transported in thunderhawk
4. You have the same intel. 100 IFs, geography, etc.

My guess on what the points were in the movie.

Captain: 100pts
Tact Squad: 170, HB is free
Apoth: approx 35pts additional?
Banner of death: 15pts
Speeder: 50pts

That's a sparse 360ish pts.

Game on!

Brother-Captain in Terminator Armour with Nemesis Force Weapon and storm bolter
Grey Knight Paladin Justicar with Nemesis Daemonhammer and storm bolter
Grey Knight Strike squad (5-man) with Nemesis Force Weapons and storm bolter
Rhino with twin storm bolters
Price your guess is as good as mine.

Crap, that is a total win.

I can just see the doors of the thunderhawk dropping and meph walks out and says, "I got this".

Mephiston & a Sanguinary Priest.

Game over.

I'd rather take mephiston and a librarian dreadnought (wings of sang to keep up with meph & shield to give them both a cover save vs nasty weapons).

Would that fit?

How many points is a Libby Dread?

ok, so Meph and a jump pack priest will clearly make a mockery of the small chaos contingent there.

New rule!
What if you were the one tasked with choosing actual units/characters for the movie? Within the points, what group of marines would introduce people to space marines, satisfy fluff, and make it a kick *** looking group.
