Plan is simple, 50 marines for defense, 51 for offence.

Any thoughts on a comp score. What would you give this out of 10.

[Timbo]

Well, the comp score generally reflects the perceived cheesiness of the army. I would think you would score highly here. Your utter lack of mobility and close combat ability will really hamper your chances of winning games. If you want to keep it all foot, take at least a drop pod. I like sternguard more than devastators for a similar point cost.

[Chumbalaya]

It's a full company, so comp will be nice to it.

That said, it isn't very good. You have no mobility, very few serious AT threats, and no real combat oomph.

Good for Apoc (free strategems), not so much a tourney.

Thanks,

I'll try it and see how it goes. There is a method to the army, MAAADDDDDDNESSSSSSSSSSS. No one sees it coming. I'll try a few games see how it goes.

I ran this before without the assault marines but with 3 rhinos, power fists, las cannons, and a whirlwind. Most the boosts didn't work. With 80 marines I got 3 wins a draw and a loss. I'm hoping to compensate for the perceived weaknesses with a sheer bulk of wieght and numbers.

But that said every game is an utter blood bath I expect to lose at least 60 marines each game. Armour 14 is a problem but its about playing to the lists strengths.

As always the feedback is appreciated.
