A friend of mine gave me his entire Space Marine collection, but without a codex. Even if he had a codex though, it would have been outdated because the last time he played was slightly over a decade ago. Well, I will just list the collection below. I've never played before, and I am only familiar with Imperial Guard(which is my personal army) so I don't know the exact names/specifications of the weapons and all.

Hopefully someone can tell me roughly how many points it will roughly be worth in total, and if it is still viable in competitive matchups? I may consider buying a SM codex, and start using it.



x2 dreadnoughts - one dreadnought is designed for close combat, while the other has a lascannon and a missile rack

x1 techmarine - well, I THINK its a techmarine, since it has a servo-arm

x6 bikes - all come with heavy bolters, and some riders have meltaguns

x10 assault marines - a few plasma pistols and powerfists

x6 terminators - one assault cannon

x5 scouts - bolt pistols and chainswords

x8 tactical marines - one missile launcher and one lascannon

and finally... there are seven unique-looking units with standards and power weapons. Seems like the commanders and their respective retinue. :?

Looks like you've got a good start. You'll need at least 12 more tactical marines (with two special weapons and two sergeants) to be able to take advantage of the heavy weapons you've got. Plus more tactical squads is always a good thing.
