Charge slamguinius with your own slamguinius. You're bringing one, right, you filthy powergamer?

The captain gets a lot of his power from warlord traits and relics, and you can only have one of each in an army. Also, the captain is very dependent on stratagems, and you can only use those once per turn. It is possible to take two captains, but the second one will be much less effective.
No, no and no. One captain will get the hammer of baal, hitting on 2+, the second will get angels wings avoiding overwatch, the third is a regular captain with JP, SS, TH. He is the warlord with artisan of war. You can buy up to two additional relics with a stratagem. All three captains can get death visions of sanguinius, because that stratagem is used when you make your army list, not limited by the matched play rule each stratagem only once per phase. In the game the hammer captain gets the 3D6 charge, the angels wings captain can re-roll failed charges, and the warlord captain gets to re-roll one dice on the charge with the re-roll stratagem. Any one captain who makes the charge gets D3 additional attacks from red rampage.
So you have one captain that is likely to make, one that is 50-50 and one that is less than that. Whee. Oh and no repositioning strategem but for one so only 1 gets in on turn 1.

Better than one full buffed captain who fails its 3D6 charge twice, and then dies during the opponents shooting. Happened twice to me. If the captain(s) succeeds and take out the target, its very unlikely the captain(s) survive the opponents turn, no need to reposition, because they die.

Yes but part of the power of the slamquinius is to be able to reposition to anywhere for the charge. T1, charge in. Only one can do that. Others have to wait for turn 2 or 3.

If there's only chaff then no. But usually I can find something within 10-11" reach(quite doable) on T1 for single infantry model.
