I'm thinking about Adepticon or FoB with this list.

So, I'm gonna Combat Squad the Tac squads to make them harder to kill. Except for one, that'll be Captain Space Marine's Merry Meatshields.

Why do your tactical squads have no upgrades?
Or are you not telling us about your tactical squad upgrades?

I don't think that you can take two relics on the same character unless unbound changed that. 102 space marines with a chapter master and no Heavy weapons, AA. or transports. Is this a fun/fluffy list? If it is then I would still tweak it just a little so the sgts had some wargear at the expense of the two oddball tac squads. An entire company of space marines is a pretty cool idea though ( A captain might be better to use though if that is what you are going for.)

This isn't a fluffy/fun list, this is a Russian tactics swarm army.

This is everything I'm bringing, all upgrades are included in the list

I mean, it could be fun but consider this. A significant portion of victory points will be offered for destroy x cards, ie big game hunter, blood and guts l, ect. You will have to discard or something similar if you want to stay ahead in the poinT's game. You will be hard to table with all combat tac squads and that many drop pods so I wouldn't worry too much there. I guess I'm just intrigued that with all those tac squads you wouldn't want to go bound for objective secured. My salamanders drop pod army would be a bad match up for this list as an example, assuming I can do ok with turn order.

If you want to just spam bodies, I'd go this route:

Chapter Tactics
Raptors

Lias Issodon
Centurion Devastators (3) - grav x3
Fire Raptor - autocannons
20x Scout Squad (5) - melta bomb


All 5-man scout squads with melta bombs infiltrate/scout and stand still for rending bolters at 24" range thanks to the Raptors CTs. You get one at BS4 per squad and that's 20 melta bombs on the table. You're gonna lose kill points and probably some objective cards will be tough, but it's an interesting take if you want to spam bodies on the field... Lias will infiltrate along with the grav cents and they can do your heavy lifting. I love the Fire Raptor but you could drop it if you really wanted for a few more Scout/Scout squads... and hope the Cents can roll some 6's for fliers?

Or you could drop the raptor, take 22 scout squads and bring along Coteaz for some seize insurance.

Thats actually amazing :')

Why autocannons on the Raptor?
Quad Bolters seem a better choice in weight of fire

Yeah, Lias is really really awesome, and scouts are the cheapest ways to get bolter on the table, so that's why I like them; I know they already have infiltrate but oh well. Sadly, I don't think you can get Coteaz infiltrated up with the cents and Lias because I don't think he can grant it to Coteaz since he's not of the same Chapter... but it may confer you'd have to read the rules.

The question is... do you have enough models to actually run this? Most people don't have 100 scouts lying around haha... the closest to this I've tested before was at 1500 points (where I just ignored fliers) and it does pretty well... you would be hurt by heavy reserve armies, but thankfully Lias makes it extra hard for them to come on

Lemme know how it goes if you do some test games!
