Goatboy here with a plethora of Space Marine Captains with a ton of 4 Wound bodies on the table that get more OC, defense bonuses, and just are a pain in the butt to get rid of.

While the Victrix Guard took a hit in the new Balance Update – they are still pretty dang nutty.  I also think there is a way to have a ton of 4 Wound bodies on the table that get more OC, defense bonuses, and just are a pain in the butt to get rid of.  Thus the army list I present for you right now.  A ton of bodies that are ready to hit the dance floor that is Warhammer 40k Neoprene Dream.

Look you can already guess the core of this list is three units of Victrix Guard, a mixture of heroes to join them, and some Company Heroes to taste.  That gives you a lot of bodies to deal with that have higher OC than you would expect as well as a lot of damage potential.  Let’s check it out and see how much big boned jerks I can fit into an army list.

ALL the Space Marine Captains Tactics

This isn’t a super OP armylist.  This is just trying to shove as many multi-wound bodies on the table, throw in some character tricks, and hope you lock down your opponent with your important “boys”.  It is a gang of hooligans lead by the king baddy and his two best friends that create a little super unit of nonsense.  You are trying to use all the Gladius tricks to get there and hopefully do some damage through Lethal Hits or other forms of rule combos.

Will it look cool on the table?  Oh I am sure it will as a ton of amazing Ultramarine painters are out there.  Will it win a game – maybe?  It just feels like a min max fever dream in trying to fit a crap ton of wounds on the table top.

For The Emperor!
