Subject: [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge!
As you should all know by now, forge world recently released an absolute brick of a tank! (or should i say a fortress on wheels?)
The Mastodon! This tank has some crazy rules and looks amazing! Not only this but the model is bloody expensive, both points wise and money wise! (My wallet cringes)
Something has been confusing me lately though. I haven't seen a single list on the internet that includes the Mastodon! So i would like to put a challenge out to you to design the most powerful list you can think of that includes a Mastodon!
The rules are simple: -2000 points
-Must be battle forged
-The list must include the mastodon
-Other forge world units are allowed
-Any space marine faction
So please post some lists and don't be afraid to comment on other peoples lists!
Go wild!

From what ive gathered the Mastodon does not count as a dedicated transport. So it can only come in as a Lord of War/Relic under the CAD? Am i correct in this gathering of information about it? No formations include it + marines?

Remember it's a super heavy so you can put multiple units in it. I think I'd go with some sort of Wulfen units, and maybe something like assault centurions with an inquisitor with rad grenades so you can double out T6 stuff, at initiative?

Another concept here... fill it with the new Custodes.. make sure to include the banner thing... and also attach a psychotroke/rad grenade caddy and the FW Salamanders Apothecary character and go to town.
Although that may be really survivable, the wulfen may still be the most fun and hit the hardest.
What about Leviathan Siege Dreads? Can they go in it?
