Goatboy’s 40K: Vampires, Bikes & Treads Teamup!
Goatboy here with an army that uses all the Imperium’s good pieces – Blood Angels, White Scars, and some Cadian Tank Commanders.
Goatboy here talking about a list that a buddy brought up to me while complaining about how our kids don’t sleep. While wanting an all Marine army to use all their good pieces – you can still create a soup / super hero style list that utilizes a few pieces, some spells, and throws them all together into a face smashing stew. With that in mind let’s see what can be thrown together when you mix some Blood Angels, White Scars, and with some Cadian Tank Commanders.
Now I am not a tread-head so if I picked something wrong or bad then comment away on what you think is better. This is me pulling up the ole Battle Scribe, throwing some things in there, and trying to get it all to add up to 2000 pts. I think will end up using a lot of 1 CP picks to give some relics out and go from there. Let’s get this started.

Tactics
This is hero hammer with models that can move super fast and assault (White Scars), you can turn off overwatch (Relic/Spells), and bunch really hard as needed. You have some anti bubble wrap too with the Punisher Cannons throwing out some damage. It might be worth it to go all 3 but having the super Relic BC for the one Tank Commander might be worth it. You could of course do this with Custodes but I feel White Scars give you a lot of options to answer some questions. Or make Tau very upset at you.
All the mortars can help clear out some stuff in buildings as needed and just throw some wounds.
~All in all it is just a bunch of bad ass heroes duking it out with the enemy. How many heroes do you like using in your lists?
