Bat33.1 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 The concern I have with lists of this nature is they are just boring to play, and play against - swamp the objectives and hang on picking up points for the win. That said I can't blame the player base for this kind of list design, the issue is the missions. They are just too similar with the standard objective placement and going first still yields a big advantage with scoring early. 180 T4 wounds is difficult to kill in 5 turns and you can swing things your way even more with chapter choice and buffs plus vehicle heavy lists in the limited GT events don't seem to be popular although there are some dreadnought heavy lists using IH appearing that would probably be happy to play against this style of list. There's also the ever present question of boards and terrain, is there enough cover to hide a chunk of your PA boys? I have a large DG army which will be my starting point once 9th gets going here but I am looking for marine list ideas so if you get it on the table I will be interested to hear how it plays although I like the idea of a dread list but not IH at the moment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/368060-spamming-primaris-would-it-work/page/2/#findComment-5644564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Valrak Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I did this in a game with Hellstorm Wargaming on their YT channel, I took 60 Intercessors and two tanks, dominated the board, couldn't get through my wounds.

Medjugorje Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 If your enemy plays Marines too... For example 3x5 BGVs - its an easy win for the other Marine.

War of the Eagle Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just played an all infantry mainly Primaris white scars army yesterday. 2k pts, was real hard for my opponent to chew trough my units. Especially my 2x 5 man bladegaurd squads accompanied by a apothocary.

Vermintide Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 It'll work until other armies start getting their weapons buffed up to D2. But I have already forseen it brothers. Ten years from now, when 3W marines are the norm, and the cycles begins anew...

Mandragola Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 To be fair there haven't been a huge number of new D2 weapons in the books we've seen so far in 9th. There have been a few more it's true, but it's hardly universal. Marines might be the faction best at handing out D2 attacks right now, with things like plasmaceptors, bladeguard and aggressors.
