    In apocalypse, it's absolutely fine- the more the merrier.

    In a regular game (I'm assuming a 2500 point level, and 'marines' meaning tactical squads), it's not game-legal, as you're only allowed 6 troops choices in the standard mission FOC.

    60 tacticals, 30 assault, 10 sternguard, and a captain. Or some variation of that. It's quite legal and possible.

    it is very painful to move, even in Apoc. You end up with 30 minute movement phases.

    It actually works better in a normal game than in Apoc since in Apoc the threshold for things seems to be AP3. Seems like every asset is AP3 and most weapons on super heavies are AP3 or better. Heiorophant kills normal marines like nothing but terminators it has problems with.

    Default Great idea

    I have run a 100 space marine list every now and then with the new marine book and Vulcan its 2500pts and it works pretty bloody good super duper ork army combat squads everywhere. Anti Everything I also take combi-meltas on all srgts. End up being 2505 or somthing like that list later gotta dig for my army book
