So I am toying with the idea of a moral debuff based space marine army, both for gameplay and for fluff reasons. I would like someone to go over this list, as I am trying to go for a very specific gameplay gimmick but don't know how much of the debuff stacks and how much is wasted. My previous space marine armies suffered from a lack of clear strategy and focus. Thanks.

I've got a similar list to this at 1k points, also for fluff reasons. I've always thought it was a cool idea that could use a little more space to play.

Does you fluff aspect require them to be all Primaris? One unit that's great for this is a Jump Chaplain upgraded to Master of Sanctity. His relic weapon both prevents re-rolls against him and when enemy units within 6" take morale, they have to roll 2D6 and pick the lowest. Also taking his unique WT, Canticle of Hate goes off on 2+ (and he gets a second litany per turn above that) so your Reivers dropping in from Deep Strike now only have to charge 7" and get another chaplain buff on top of that.

I suppose you could make it work with a Primaris Bike Chaplain too, though it may not be as consistent.
