Preparing for 6th!

As someone who has been playing Warhammer 40k since the Rogue Trader days I'm always having to redo my army every edition or so. Luckily I pretty much skipped 3rd, only got to play two games of 4e, and I played my first and only game of 5e last year... Kind of sucks that I really havent played much of one of the minis games I really enjoy since 2e...

With 6e released this weekend, I want to make a concerted effort to change this trend. I'll need to reevaluate my current army and then see what needs changing and what I might need to add to it in the future. I also need to paint the damn thing so I'll need to FINALLY decide on a chapter and color scheme. I'm probably just going to continue with standard Vanilla Marines, since going with a dedicated chapter would mean changes I cant afford. Plus with Vanillas, I can use my spiffy new Stormtalon!

Current Army is thus:

Terminator Assault Squad          
-Sergeant
--Thunder hammer/Storm Shield
-x4 Lightning Claws
-Land Raider Redeemer
--Multi-Melta

Tactical Squad x10         
-Sergeant
--Power Fist and Combi-Flamer
-Meltagun
-Multi-Melta
-Rhino

Tactical Squad x10           
-Sergeant
--Power Fist and Combi-Melta
-Flamer
-Multi-Melta
-Rhino

Tactical Squad x10           
-Sergeant
--Power Fist and Combi-Melta
-Plasma Gun     
-Plasma Cannon

Land Speeder   
-Heavy Flamer
-Multi-Melta

 Land Speeder   
-Heavy Flamer
-Multi-Melta

 Land Raider       
-Multi-Melta


Originally this was supposed to be a Salamanders army. I dont know if that is the route I want to go now or not.

I definitely want to keep the Assault Termies in the Redeemer, I love those. I like the Land Speeders as well. I know there are a lot of points in having 2 Land Raiders... but I really like Land Raiders. So I need to figure out what to do with the three Tactical squads and decide on an HQ choice.

Oh, and I want to add a Stormtalon to the list.
