40 points left idk what to spend it on

Tactics simple, bomb everything and laugh at them. I will almost always get first turn I just set my deployment time to 4 minutes to beat those people that try to get first turn with the standard 5 minutes.

Protip: 4chan is full of fagets, I wouldn't advise taking any of their advice.

This list for instance, it doesn't sound very fun for the other guy, whether it works and blows up his army, or fails and leaves you with 32 techmarines as your core force.

Might as well just show up with a bunch of dice, and have him show up with nothing. Roll to see if you kill his army, and if not, concede the battle. Certainly less logistics involved for both of you and will leave time for him to go and find a proper game.

At 5000pts I can bring a single Thunderhawk (or 5) while your army can't do s**t to them and D-cannon everyone to death... Who's laughing now?

As mentioned above this is a stupid list, Apocalypse is all about having fun and having a lot of destruction but 32 techmarines??? Really? Do you even have the models?

You could come up with some way better GK list (and still include some techmarines for fire-support) without spamming 30 some techs...

Ya I realised this a major troll list and should only be played against TFG but it does have its weaknessess like fliers. Only problem is living long enough to get your flier on the board and not getting tabled from the hail of 33 OSR's.

Only problem with your list is living long enough to get your OSR's on the board and not getting tabled from the other guy's fist.

Just sayin is all.

Well this list is almost guarenteed 1st turn in an apoc game so I don't have to worry too much about being alpha striked, and I have a lot of units to be targeted so they will be wasting the fire of everything in a squad that doesn't have split fire at a single techmarine that probably has a 3+ cover save from ruins or something

Nope. No competitive Apocalypse player ever bids more than zero minutes for deployment because they're flank marching their entire army (including titans, etc) in from your table edge. At which point you will discover that 32 MEQs do not last very long against Apocalypse-level firepower.
