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! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8973148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8973148.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge! CAD? Am i correct in this gathering of information about it? No formations include it + marines?

Right, I've decided to fill it up with Death Company, because who doesn't love Death Company?

- Baal Strike Force -
HQ:
Chaplain - 90pts
Troops:
Tactical Squad (5 men) - Missile Launcher - 85pts
Cassor the Damned - 140pts
Elites:
Death Company (9 men) - 2 Power Fists - 230pts
Death Company (10men) - 2 Power Fists - 250pts
Death Company (10 men) - 2 Power Fists - 250pts
Fast Attack:
Assault Squad - 2xMelta Guns - 105pts
Lords of War:
Mastodon - 700pts
- 1850pts -

It's only 1850 points (Mastodon in a tournament anyone?) but I honestly don't know what to spend the last points on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8973546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8973546.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge!

Might also be worth putting a techmarine or two (maybe with some servitors) inside to keep the HPs topped off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8974015.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8974015.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge! LoW choice...

Jokes aside, make a wulfen school bus and fill the thing with wulfen and murderfang

~Mikey]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8975161.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8975161.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge! I agree though, 40 transport capacity is huge! You can fit a lot of stuff in the damn thing!

Another interesting idea would be fill it up with assault optimised ironclads or contemporary dreads to really reap the benefits of assault vehicle!

Maybe even go crazy with straight up 40 assault marines?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8975541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8975541.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge!

I'm pretty sure the vehicle upgrades aren't free in the battle company, only the base transports.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8975726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8975726.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge! Upgrades still cost their regular points costs]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8983855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8983855.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge! 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?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8984244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8984244.page GMT [2000] - Space marines - The Mastodon challenge!
To be honest im not sure about leviathans. I dont think they can though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8985130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/705975/8985130.page GMT
