In all honesty he's a bit of a craps game. Sometimes he can stop a deathstar thanks to the demo charge, or just blow himself up. I've used him as a harassing unit mostly, killing off Long Fangs or the likes. Other then that, he's kinda meh.

He's also a great way to troll your opponent.

This last weekend I was up against a nid player in a goof around game.

He had 3 of the dakkafexes with the S10 guns, and they were all out of range of my stuff, so he had to hike across the board to shoot me. My response? I just put marbo in the back corner of his deployment.

"Wait... he's not going to kill me?"

"Why? He's an easy kill point for you, and I'd rather earn an easy linebreaker point."

Cue a dakkafex wasting the rest of the game chasing marbo around his deployment trying to kill him. He did get marbo eventually, but man if it wasn't funny to watch.

Marbo at full strength is 6500 pts and is represented by 100 models. He likes to fight though so he limits himself to 65 pts of his ability.

Marbo is also super fun to plop behind the enemies own FoR and nuke their artillery they thought was safe.

I nearly just shot root beer out of my nose.
