Well i bought myself a battle force a few months ago and im finally getting round to expanding from it, besides the battle force i already had 5 marines and a librarian. So heres what i have so far.

HQ-

Librarian - 100pts

Troop-

Tactical Squad (10 man) w/ flamer and missile launcher - 230pts
Srg w/ powerfist
Rhino

Tactical Squad (10 man) w/ plasma gun and missile launcher - 180pts

Scout Squad (5 man) w/ heavy bolter - 85pts

Fast- Assult Squad (5 man with jump packs) - 130pts
Srg w/ storm shield and power weapon

total- 725

im looking for advice on what i could buy (im financially limited at the moment and have only 60 pounds maybe 70 to expand it to 1000pts
so any help will be muchly appreciated,
thanks in advance

Based on what you have and given your budget I would do the following.

First add melta bombs to your assault sgt. It will allow him to crack armor easier. add a chaplin with melta bombs.

Upgrade your lib so he can cast 2 powers a turn, give him gate and place him with the second tac squad. Change the ML to a MM since you will be getting in closer to the enemy.

Add in a Pred.

if you have points left and $$ a few land speeders.

They're OK as they are.

Tactical Squad (10 man) w/ plasma gun and missile launcher - 180pts

These guys need some transport, I'd say. Razorback would be fine if you're going to combat-squad plasma and ML.

Scout Squad (5 man) w/ heavy bolter - 85pts

Are they bolters + HB? I prefer scouts like either CCW+meltabombs/PF+combi-melta (antitank suiciders) or snipers. Since there should be CCW hands in your battleforce (and no sniper rifles, if memory serves), you may consider making them an anti-armour unit instead of being BS3 shooters.

Fast- Assult Squad (5 man with jump packs) - 130pts
Srg w/ storm shield and power weapon

One storm shield is too much a risk - you reallocate a single wound and have a chance of losing your power weapon (one that really matters in the unit). And meltabombs would be really nice here if you meet a Walker.

Possible upgrades:
- razorback for your second Tac squad;
- meltabombs/PF/combi-melta to scouts;
- another assault squad (spare PF and meltabombs) - add 4 bodies to your assault squad and get your librarian a jump pack - now you've got a fast-moving CC threat;
- Rifleman Dread/Land speeder Typhoon/AC+las Predator for some extra ranged punch.

Think this will bring you to around 1000pts and cost you around 60-70 pounds.

Hope this helps.

$$$ wise, it's hard to go wrong with Razorbacks and Speeders...

For rifleman dreads, you've gotta spend some $$$ - first the dread, then the Foregeworld Arms (or just convert them) FYI - the new venerable dread kit is way more useful than the old one... it has interchangable weapon arms

In fact, I would NEVER buy a rhino... cause at some point, you'll want that turret... and with the Razorback kit you get everything for a rhino...
