Wanted to make a list that only used good’ ol fashion squat marines.

I already know it’s not competitive, it’s not supposed to be. But any tweaks to make it playable would be nice.

It’s set up as a gunline-heavy board control list.
The gun line part is the tanks, thunder fire cannons, turrets, guilliman etc
The scouts will hold objectives
And the vanguard vets, assault Marines and Chaplin will deep strike to maintain control of one of the scout positions is overrun or if I can do some damage elsewhere.
I’m thinking about maybe dropping the scouts heavy Bolters and maybe dropping some weapons for the assault marines/vanguard vets so I can get something else, maybe another librarian.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

One thing I notice is you need another elite choice if you're going to run two relic sicaran tanks, you need one non relic unit per relic unit.

Nice catch.
I removed 2 of the heavy bolters from the scout squads and added in a 4 man servitor since they’re the cheapest possible elite choice. Plus, for 5 points each they’re not bad as an anti charge or human shield unit
