Gunline, which Chapter does it best ?

[Deadlift]

I am a big fan of space marines and I like shooting, I played a game a little while ago where for the 1st time I did some research and set up my army using denied flank + gun-line, I used my Salamanders (which are now on ebay). It was very nasty but now I need a change.

My question to you is out of the current crop of Space Marine books which offer the best gun-line lists, which chapter it best suits and which units are a must have, Looking them over I am leaning towards Space Wolves with their Long Fangs, but fluff wise I don't know if gun-lines actually suit the wolves, maybe Imperial fists more ? or even Sons of Medusa, Vanilla still do it well enough when backed up with some FW gear.

Not interested in a xeno alternative, I have Necrons for that :)

well you want a gun line just stick with necrons

but space marine wise Iron Hands or Imperial fists also theirs the option of make your own chapter

Or the Crimson Fists.

Iron Warriors

Isn't anything that gives you bolter drill going to help here? So wouldn't including Lysaandaar be helpful? So custom army or Imperial fists using his stats as a captain.

Iron Warriors

I didn't realise that the Iron Warriors were a Chapter now... Guess that's news to me!

@Psycho, yeah, he becomes kind of a waste in that situation, Lysander loves teh combat.
Pedro Kantor is effective too, jus' sayin'. I like scoring Sternguard Veterans.

I was thinking him leading deepstriking terminators as the hammer, with a massed bolter gunline anvil...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I find that he is effective in regular Terminators, just so that their Stormbolters are all epic, but it is a HUGE point sink.

Fluff wise, you'd be looking at the Iron Wolves Lord, forgot his name atm. He's the most mechanized Great Company. And the closest thing to having a Gunline fluff background, Long fangs (fluff wise) shouldn't be that numerous, what that says about your forces is that you take tons of casualties and probably are bad at tactics/strategy to loose so many grey hunters in order to have that many long fangs. So fluff wise, if you have 18 long fangs (5 heavies + sarge) that means you lost (rough estimate) 18 squads of grey hunters... Such numbers would mean that Logan or someone else needs to kick your rear end and/or bash you over the head with some knowledge of war. :P
