E-Mail in : Shooty Marines

This is the last 'list help' e-mail I've got to sort out and then it's just the 'Deathwatch' ones to work through.

GMort,
I know that you favour shooty lists over punchy ones so what's the shootiest Space Marine list you can come up with?

Reply:

I presume you mean 'Vanilla' Marines as you didn't specify a particular codex. One of he 'shootiest'* Marine lists I know of is the following but I didn't come up with it...It's a Stelek one but I'll repeat it here so you don't have to dig it out from amongst the bazillions of lists that he churns out  ;-)
