So, what are the silliest, or most ridiculous (not brokenly powerful) army lists you've seen?

I think the one that takes the cake for me was someone attempting to play Draigowing... at 500 points. He had... what, three models?

I spent over 300 points on 10 rough riders only to kill 4 necron warriors.

Next time they killed 4 grey knights.

So thats 300 poihts for on average 4 basic troop models a game. They have only lived through 1 of those games.

I personally think its ridiculous regardless of what else I have in my lists haha.

I once ran an all Marine Scout Company.

We had to houserule the captain running scout armor, but it made for an interesting (if one-sided) game.

50x Scouts on the field, 6x Storms, The rest in Scout bikers.

Unbound 3 flying DP of Nurgle. All rolling Fething iron arm and endurance. all at like i think was 1000 points or something.


The silliest cheese iv ran into.

*Dons flame suit* Not trying to cause controversy here, but anything WAAC or anyone power gaming is absolutely the silliest!
By the Emperor's blood how do you find this game competitive?... Don't answer that lol.

I once watched a game where a GK player fielded nothing but Techmarines with OSRs. And Inquisitor Karamazov.

He was doing pretty well until the Flyers came in.

While not in person, I've seen an all-grot list proposed on here. Not sure if that would include their artillery, but I'm pretty sure that's how you'd get the most models possible on the field at any given points value.

My first unbound list was an all ogryn force lead by good ol' Nork versus a horde of mandrakes with kheradruak. It was a slaughter for the poor mandrake force. I was floored by how well those ogryns did. I prayed the match back with an army of rough riders fighting incubi. To quote my friends after he got the charge after a pair of snake eyes on my part "horse chunks everywhere."

Unbound 22 Necron Annihilation Barges. 1980 points.

How can you possibly kit out 10 rough riders for 300 points?

You're at 110 for the base, +30 with plasma, maybe +50 for a power weapon and plasma pistol, and what else?

Krieg rough riders with a librarian. It comes to over 300 if I remember my list right. I cant bring myself to do anything with standard rough riders anymore.

If you want to be technical, im paying for the 10 rough riders, adding all the upgrades AND then buying an upgraded dark angels invulnerable save weilding phsyker to try make them work.

They arent too bad... just wasteful.

6 monoliths...

Not really, if your looking to get tabled by turn 3.

2000 Point game with 6 squads of max kroot, I believe. So many sniper shots. Everyone in cover. None of my infantry survived.

2000 point Officio Assassinorum only list. Serpent Spam. Really, just the bare minimum list building with a single idea overused and no creativity. I find those the silliest.

Gggggggrrrrrrrooooooottttttttsssssssss

an entire army of grots

fits the ridiculous bill

I once read a short wh40k story about 3000 cultist vs 30 black Templar and bt won!

So 40x10 cultist squads to do nothing but lose.

A knight leading 1650 points....of fortifications and buildings. Void missles, void missles everywhere.

Full IK army. I personally think an allied Knight can make perfect sense, but running nothing but Knights seems like you auto-win vs certain armies and auto-lose vs others. Your not going to place on top of any tournament you are just going to get match up wins with little playskill being relevant to the outcome, seems super boring. Just an opinion. Silly way to play the game.

Haven't happen to see any but in a theory.

The worsted list would be tyranids - broods of spore mine cluster as troop and with tyranids prime as hq....

A LotD army... we all know why!

I don't know if I'll ever get to build it, but an army of 14 SAG big meks on bikes sounds like the stupidest list in the world. I'm not too good with statistics, but I believe on average you'd lose 1 big mek to a SAG misfire per shooting phase.

Btw after seeing a few responses... could somebody tell me why on earth this is 'silly'? Especially with the background I went into? Also - on paper its pretty brutal.

It's an army of green runts. I mean, that's nearly the textbook definition of 'silly'. In the humorous sense that is.

While not an entire army of silly, I find this unit combo hilariously good fun to use:

Herald of Tzeentch w/Greater Locus of Str = D6, Mutating Warpblade, Lesser Gift, Lv3 all rolled on Divination
18 Horrors inclu Champion w/Etherblade + Muso + Icon.

Yep, that right, ASSAULTY! Pink Horrors.

Surprisingly, they do pretty decent at it too, and it's an absolute when they manage to pull off S6! for a turn. The Tzherald is inevitably meant to be a Spawn factory, challenging those Sergeant and the like and then mutating them into something more properly Tzeentchian on a 2+.
Just for lols, I've even given this unit a single turn of the re-rollable 2++ save shenanigans vs. a friend's large unit of biker Nobz. Nothing quite like seeing Pink Horrors of all things laying the beatdown on a deathstar unit!

I meant silly as in funny, I've seen someone make an IG army out of grots, calling them the Grot Rebels. When I said an army of grots, I meant exclusively grot mobs. THAT would be silly.

Ahh fair enough! Yeh - exclusively grot mobs would be silly!

Pfft.
What are you, insane?! You run no artillery. Just grots (and I suppose a few Runtherds, since you have to).
29 Grots and 2 Runtherds per squad.
NOTHING SHALL DEEPSTRIKE.
NOTHING SHALL CLAIM YOUR OBJECTIVES.
NO FLYERS WILL MOVE ON THIS TABLE.(All assuming around 2k+ points)

At this last BAO I got matched up against a guy who has 3 knights and 2 Dark Angels Land Raiders with scouts + PFG Libby riding inside. They all castled up for the 4++.

Things will, just not everything.

FEAR ME, FOR I AM THE GROT KING!
