I was asked by a friend to make an AV spam list using Codex: Space Marines. He felt that vehicular manslaughter would be thematically fun, but didn't like the aesthetics of IG.

Fast forward about an hour, and the back of my mind won't stop churning on a thought: If target saturation is key, just how saturated can I make it?

This list is the result of the sad, sick, little man at the back of my head...




HQ Librarian, naked with null zone and avenger 100pts


Elite 2x Dreadnaught, MM & CCW, 105 ea 210pts

Dreadnaught, TL Assault Cannon, CCW 115pts


Troops 6x 5man Tactical squad, no upgrades, 90 ea 540pts
6x HB Razorback 40 ea 240pts


Fast Attack 3x 3 Landspeeders w/MM, 60 ea 540pts


Heavy Support 3x Dakka Pred, 85 ea 255pts



Dreads and Speeders pop transports, everything else goes at exposed targets. Libby rides with one of the Tac squads.
With 6 objective holding units, 6 AV 12+, 15 AV 10-11, and 11 MM shots a turn it should at the very least be interesting to watch.
I realize this list is kinda silly, but the thought of 21 AV targets makes me grin.

Any opinions, Dakka?

It might be fun, but I think your troops are just too weak to hold any objectives for very long. Plus, any army that can hide enough of it's squads in assault is going to pick you apart piece by piece.

A 5 objective game means he needs 3 to win. 2 Troops in Razors on each of the 3 closest objectives should prove resilient enough for most games.

In addition, every shot they fire at the Razors is a shot not fired at the speeders cracking their tanks or the Dakka Preds shooting their infantry.

As to getting locked into assault, 5 meager marines will most likely lose every combat on the first round.
That will give him a round to whatever just killed his poor defenseless troops.

Seems relatively sound to me.

Honestly, given that it is heavily MSU KP games seem like they would be more problematic.
