Nilla Marines (just to try it ^ ^)
The 'Descent from the sky, hosted by Cato Sicarius' list.
NB: Question, is a land raider considered a transport? I assume so.
HQ:
1xCato Sicarius: 200
1x1 Libby w/termie armor/SS, Nullzone/Gate of Infinity: 140

Elites:
10x tac termies, 2 CML: 460
10x tac termies, 2AC: 460
10x assault termies, TH/SS: 400

Troops:
2x10 tac marines w/flamer/ML, tele homers: 370
1x10 Tac termies w/melta-gun/MM, tele homer: 195
1x 5 snipers w/camocloaks/ML, tele homers: 115
1x 6 snipers, Telion, Tele homer, ML: 150

Heavy Support:
3x5 devs w/ML/LC: 510

Total: 3000

Pretty simple. I use Cato Sicarius to give a bonus to one of the squads, (i'm thinking infiltrate, actually, on the melta squad, to get it up closer). Snipers hold other positions while troops advance. Termies drop to buy time/help defend held positions, also to threaten the enemy, if need be. Devs are really the only non-mech Long-range anti-tank/anti-infantry, so I have 3 of them with lascannons (that's, at least, 3 BS5 shots of lascannon).

The termies are to be some anti-tank and also anti-infantry, to be tactically applied when needed. They can also advance much faster that way (though not too sold on dsing my assault termies). Anyway, that's what I'd do with a nilla marine list.

Assuming Jump infantry is still infantry...

Just kind of thrown together, I'm sure I could probably optimize it a bit more.

The Red Tide (3000pts)
HQ (470pts)
Astorath the Grim (220pts)
Mephiston, Lord of Death (250pts) (He's tagged as Infantry in the codex )

Elites (435pts)
Sanguinary Priests /w Jump Pack x3 (225pts)
Terminator Assault Squad 2x TH/SS, 3x LCs (210pts)

Troops (1410pts)
6x 10man Assault Marines, Meltagun, Meltagun, Sergeant w/ PF (235pts ea)

Fast Attack (250pts)
2x 5man Vanguard Veterans, Sergeant w/ PF (125pts ea)

Heavy Support (435pts)
3x 5man Devestator Squad, Lascannon, 3x Missile Launcher (145pts ea)

Edit:
... I love how the first two lists posted end up almost nearly identical. This is either an omen, or a testament to how many people play BA right now

For the record, MrEconomics, I posted mine before refreshing the thread, so I never saw your list

OH, Question to the OP. ARe walkers vehicles for this lists purposes? Like...a dreadnought is technically infantry...in a very cool suit.

The same question applies to tau stealth/crisis suits, wraithlords, etc.

For the purposes of this contest, lets say no. Because then the Tau would bring in their crisis suits and thats not fair for anyone.

Of course, Imperial Guard won't like this contest much anyways

To be honest, I'd take either of the posted Blood Angels army against whatever Tau could throw together, including vehicles. Tau are bad enough in general, at 3000 points their utterly horrible Troops are going to horribly hobble them. Same with Necrons, really, you need to be able to use all the FOC slots well to do well at such a high points level.

Might not have the firepower of some IG lists, but I feel two outflanking power blobs with a 3rd lead by 10 Ogryns with Yarrick along with 30 Rough Riders that can really do some damage along with survivibility. Orders making all of the heavy weapons twin linked means 2 heavy vehicles and 2 light transports are dead a turn. THe OotF screws other outflanking armies and my Astropath helps make sure my two power blobs arrive in good order, along with the STs and Rambo. STs have a plasma pistol incase they are attacking something like a Devorstator squad instead of a vehicle. Harker is out there as a forward firebase to pin down or put damage on units. Cover will big in this list. Against a heavy Outflank/DS list, blob 1 and the Ogryns will stay back to protect the HWSs.

Any two of these lists would be marvelous to watch on the table, a big change to the mech meta (maybe i should start playing fantasy..)

Yeh I'm gonna keep the Avatar even tho he's monstrous- he's the footdar all-star champion- and an HQ rather than a heavy choice.

Footdar have all the components for a mobile fortress- veil of tears- everything behind 4+ cover save.
Avatar, fearlessness zone (keeping him fortuned as he will be target priority one).

Eldrad- doom will play a big part. No matttttttter what the unit is; if it's doomed- the fire power pouring into it will bring its demise.

Fortune anything important- mind war out all enemy characters granting bonuses since they can't hide in transports.

Wraithguard will bolster the fortress wall, along with firedragons, mincing any marines or termies that try to get close.

Banshees and Harlies with fleet have long strong strike range. I10 Banshees with Doom will destroy any unit.

Warp Spiders will be a fun JSJ distraction. If the opponent is known to be guard, would throw in a few squads of swooping hawks (all the guard on the table will be impossible to miss with grenade packs). Outflanking assault scorpions.

Reaper launchers (with doom) would slay these GK lists- simply don't have the range to touch them- and indeed, no way past the fortress. Massed shuriken is also brutal.

Who will challenge footdar?? Any of you?

And no, the fall of the Avatar is not the demise of the list

Assuming they can get into range, this will take down 100 GEQ per turn.


Assuming they are ALL in range and at full strength, that's only 46.7 Orks under cover of a KFF.

I am going to assume that JUMP Infantry should not be allowed, because this is a footslogger competition, not an infantry competition. It's not a non-vehicle competition. Jump Infantry only foot slog for the assault, so I don't think they count. There go my Stormboyz.

Artillery: The guns themselves are treated as AV 10, so I think they're out.

Pie Plates tend to mess up ALL Infantry lists.

Orks:

Okay, I really REALLY wanted Ghaz for that 6" charge, but the boyz need their protection:

Da Choppiest!!!!

Yeah, I had some points to spare so I loaded the Big Meks up, and added another PK(originally 3) to each Nobz unit and made one group of Boyz into 'Ard Boyz. It was that or 8 Flash Gitz, More Dakka, Painboy upgrade, but Flash Gitz aren't choppy, they're shooty!

6 mobs of 30 boyz, and 3 Nob mobs.....all PK'ed up. Not an inventive army, but very very choppy!

yes.. it's brutal... It's a Kan Wall... footslogging yes... but I think that the point of this thread is to try to make a decent and original list outside of the current mech meta... A kan wall surely isn't that original nor lacks mech... And even as a Kan wall this list is sub-par... the KFF is pointless if you give all the boyz a 5++ and kans should have rokkits for AT

I think you are out assaulted and out shot by guard. I ran the same numbers with blood angels and the sanginor for the extra attacks with straight lightning claw termie squads, you assault the conscript bubble wrap, they are removed with the send in the next wave rule and then your termies are torrent of fire off the board. And my scouts barely pin anything when I run them.

With FoF you have one, or two if you're first and a bad run roll, turn of shooting before I'm in your face. As for assaults most of your models in a blob won't be swinging all you have to do is stagger the termies, or any squad for that matter, in a 343 formation and come in on an edge to prevent half or more of a blob, works great vs orks too, from swinging dick move but it's war.

I just want you to know that you have not played a good guard player then. I tell you the truth that if you did assault my blob, they would all be attacking you. You place the big bases up front tne the core of troops behind it packed tight. What you have to understand is that the big base allows you to pack a lot of the little guys around them. Thus you have a horde amount of attacks coming your way. On top of that your not even counting the pie plates from the master of ord, plus the 60 auto cannon shoots a turn. Oh did I mention the orders of the guard. I would really like to see termies walk into my lines, that would be great with first rank fire....... here is a 105 shoots, plus auto cannon rounds. Thats just from one squad......

if you read the first page, you'll see where someone decides that jump infantry, whilst infantry, are not footsloggers for the purposes of this competition.

And I think flamerspam or purifiers would be better at taking out all these IG armies. A unit of 10 paladins with 4 incinerators, 5 falchions, and an apothecary would be better at taking on the guard blobs than anything BA could bring.

If Lobbas dont count (I know the gun does have an armor value), then swap for 300ish points of DeffKoptas with TL Bigshootas and Bombs since these have a 'T' value. I figured Big Guns would be ok, I think of them like IG weapon teams. If Koptas dont count either then a small unit of Flashgitz would have to suffice. These would get "pointman" duty, screening for the boyz.

Im assuming this list will go against another horde list. Snikrot and Zagstruk units go after gun teams. The KFF's reduce incoming fire by 33%. Lootas and Lobbas target gun teams as well. Shootas and big shootas go up front and thin the herde. Choppas, PK's and Burnas are behind and clean up.

Commissars give the unit Stubborn... it doesn't matter if you kill 49 out of 50, they still roll LD 9. Meanwhile that 50 man blob has 6 Power swords, 12 attacks, doing a generious 6 wounds a turn (50% wounds of Str 3 vs T 4). That marine squad will not survive 2 player rounds in the blob, unless the IG player rolls less that 50% on attacks and wounds. If they do fail a morale check, Commissar executes a sergeant and they re-roll.

Your GK will be taking a hail of AC and Lascannon shots before they get in range to use flamers... sure, you roll 2+ armor save against the ACs, but you will lose a guy 1 in 6 rolls... that is the IG game, not yours. anyways, you can't shoot flamers in close combat, you have 1 shot with flamers to kill a couple of guys per flamer. They will do their damage, but IG can allocate those wounds to anyone in the unit, like not to the power weapon guys. And because they are not ICs, you can't target them in CC. You have to kill every single guy to get them.

IG deal with outflanking marines the same as they deal with everything else. You appear at the edge of the board 1-2 rounds later than you expected due to the Master of the Fleet giving your reserve rolls +1. Your then shot buy a ton of heavy weapons.

You have obviously never played against IG, or very poor IG players.

And yeah, every IG build and Chaos build that don't use Commissars or Marks of Chaos Glory (or Fearless troops) will certainly run off the board when you kill 3-4 of them, why I said those were poor lists. As for the second Nid list, are those MCs in that list? Sure looks like a mess of MCs to me, but I don't have a Nid Codex and I don't normally play against Nids.

What!!! The stealer list is awesome!

The problem with nid lists in this scenario is the OP stated no mech or MC's, of which you have five. 'Tis a shame otherwise spamming Tervigons would be the way to go for sheer number of bodies. Against any well rounded army Nid's without MC's will have a tough time dealing with armour, especially any AV14.

If more than 5 hit your line then you will lose combat and get sweeping advanced.

ALso how do you deal with outflanking marines? 10 tac marine outflanks you and charges you? = dead.


Commissars give the unit Stubborn... it doesn't matter if you kill 49 out of 50, they still roll LD 9. Meanwhile that 50 man blob has 6 Power swords, 12 attacks, doing a generious 6 wounds a turn (50% wounds of Str 3 vs T 4). That marine squad will not survive 2 player rounds in the blob, unless the IG player rolls less that 50% on attacks and wounds. If they do fail a morale check, Commissar executes a sergeant and they re-roll.

Your GK will be taking a hail of AC and Lascannon shots before they get in range to use flamers... sure, you roll 2+ armor save against the ACs, but you will lose a guy 1 in 6 rolls... that is the IG game, not yours. anyways, you can't shoot flamers in close combat, you have 1 shot with flamers to kill a couple of guys per flamer. They will do their damage, but IG can allocate those wounds to anyone in the unit, like not to the power weapon guys. And because they are not ICs, you can't target them in CC. You have to kill every single guy to get them.

IG deal with outflanking marines the same as they deal with everything else. You appear at the edge of the board 1-2 rounds later than you expected due to the Master of the Fleet giving your reserve rolls +1. Your then shot buy a ton of heavy weapons.

You have obviously never played against IG, or very poor IG players.

And yeah, every IG build and Chaos build that don't use Commissars or Marks of Chaos Glory (or Fearless troops) will certainly run off the board when you kill 3-4 of them, why I said those were poor lists. As for the second Nid list, are those MCs in that list? Sure looks like a mess of MCs to me, but I don't have a Nid Codex and I don't normally play against Nids.


What I am saying is I am happy for you to kill 20 of my paladins before I reach your line because 30 purifers will slaughter a 50 man blob. It will probably die to your attacks after it has done its clensing fire and I6 force weapon attacks but you only have 3 blobs and I have 6 units of about 6-7 man per squad. I need just one to kill 1/3 of your 50 man blob. Also a dreadknight can lock you in combat for the entire game because your PF is only S6 which means nothing. If the commisar is an IC I can pick him out.

If I play it right and hit your line with some of my forces your firepower will mean nothing.

Also My alternative army is orks.

180 orks (nob PK)
2x bigmek KFF
37 lootas
45 burna boys
40 stormboys

Everyone hides behind the 180 boys.

Lootas take care of your autocannon people. burna will burn the hell of everyone 15 flame template? even 50 man blob can't survive. 40 stormboys will jump out behind the 180 boys and hit you line and try to kill as much as possiable. I do not believe you have enough shooting to kill that many orks with cover saves. 20 sotrm boys 80 attacks on that charge will kill atleast half of your 50 man blob and then you got the remainnging surviving boys and burnas to deal with.

On average thats 60 S7 ap4 (autocannon shots) 5+ cover.

This armor is very vulnerable to ID, so i doubt it would fare to well against all those heavy weapons from a LRBT or whatever, but it can dish out an enormous amount of damage at close range.

The theory is run a wall of thousand sons with the lash sorcerer playing quarterback with his personal retinue of TLC termies.
Deep strike the oblits where needed.
Run berserkers around both sides and up the middle around the thousand sons.
Bring in the summons for further harassment. There is a metric ton of plasma pistols in this list, a combi-melta, and Gorechild aka the can-opener. Hopefully anything assaulting the sons will get mopped by the termies or zerkers, and a massive sons anti meq line is sweet. It looks garbage on paper, but plant 17 of them on an objective and see what happens...

No vehicles, no bikes(including jetbikes). Personally, I'm going with no Jump Infantry, as they aren't footsloggers.

The way I see these lists is: Think of Russia. Lots of manpower.......less resources. This particular army includes no armor support, no real speed.

I just try and use only infantry units.

IG

What you have to understand is the first two congo lines ranks will be the throw away squads for the guard. Adding in one of the characters allows me to remove the units if its low and bring it back on the board the next turn. This will allow me to soak up your fire power turn after turn with two or three of these units moving up and taking the front rank. On top of that your looking at the master of ord putting out a pie plate at str 9 ap 3 a turn. On top of that there are two of them and if you do have a cover save. With orders I will make you reroll the cover save. Next you have to look at the 60 auto cannons a turn coming at you. Then you have to stop and think that your looking at 430 plus bodies on the other side of the board. So once you do get close that when the first rank fire starts.

Let the bodies hit the floor... ahhhh

Keep in mind Tarval that I play on small boards that generally have a decent amount of terrain so if I had to chew through your units, one by one by one, then yeah but here is the great part, the plague marines and terminators, heck even the oblits hit your line in multiple places 430 becomes 400 or even less, I lose maybe 5 because no matter what mathhammer says the of luck of the dice favors marine armies. (my personal experience is if you give them a save, they'll make it. plasma gun to the face...not so much, Str 10 weapons even, if thier AP is 4 or higher...they'll save...) I hit your lines from the the front, with plague marines, that don't run, I hit you from the sides, and then with my terminators deep strikeing behind you and assaulting your conga line from behind, and suddenly 400 becomes smaller and smaller, and S 3 keeps failing against T5 and sv +3 & +2, so basically I may be out numbered but I can box you in, and chip away.

Um, when you put 430 plus guys in deployment, you can tell me where your termies will ds. On top of that the congo lines dies and thats its job. Once its dead, that when first rank fire starts. On top of all that, I have 30 RR that when they charge are I5 and S5 so thats like um 63 attacks or something? Plus I can bring the congo line back if I remove them, that is if you dont kill the 50 guys first. They are just a speed bum and to give cover saves for the platoons in behind.

I am just plugging you thought, I do enjoy a good soap box fight every now and then. Btw, the RR have a 24" possible charge range...

Real issue I see is the GK with flame attack. I would have to work that over before they found my lines. Should not be an issue because of the volume of fire from the this army.

For the purposes of this contest, lets say no. Because then the Tau would bring in their crisis suits and thats not fair for anyone.

Of course, Imperial Guard won't like this contest much anyways


This means the Tau cannot build a list for your concept. A Crisis suit is mandatory for all Tau lists (Crisis Commanders are 1+), and the Tau have no anti tank equipment that isn't suit or vehicle mounted.

Yeah you got a point there, then again can 430 models even fit in the deployment zone of a 4x4 table?

Tarval wrote: On top of that the congo lines dies and thats its job. Once its dead, that when first rank fire starts. On top of all that, I have 30 RR that when they charge are I5 and S5 so thats like um 63 attacks or something? Plus I can bring the congo line back if I remove them, that is if you dont kill the 50 guys first. They are just a speed bum and to give cover saves for the platoons in behind.


yeah but that's why you try to get ahold of as many squads as possible in one go. If I'm forced to take you apart squad by squad then it's a long day coming. It's almost imperitive I find ways to midigate first rank fire. As far a RRs go they are cavalry and not infantry. and IIRC I still get my saves from lances. That also said I'm looking at the OP saying make the list able to take on anything, i.e. balance so...yeah...

Yeah same here, I try not to devolve into flame wars, but I'm too much of a poly sci college grad for my own good sometimes.


Tarval wrote:Real issue I see is the GK with flame attack. I would have to work that over before they found my lines. Should not be an issue because of the volume of fire from the this army.


GK in general IMHO. TBH I haven't got ahold of thier new 'dex but from what I've been hearing it's insanely brutal to go up against.

@No Tau Antitank: Broadsides are still infantry, so you can happily go with nine of them. That's not really enough for a truly competetive list, but it's kinda all you can do.
Anyway, my take on Daemons:

HQ
Herald of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Master of Sorcery, We Are Legion - 95
Herald of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Master of Sorcery, We Are Legion - 95
Herald of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Master of Sorcery, We Are Legion - 95
Herald of Tzeentch, Bolt of Tzeentch, Master of Sorcery, We Are Legion - 95
Elites
8 Bloodcrushers, Fury of Khorne - 330
8 Bloodcrushers, Fury of Khorne - 330
8 Bloodcrushers, Fury of Khorne - 330
Troops
18 Horrors, Bolt - 316
18 Horrors, Bolt - 316
18 Horrors, Bolt - 316
18 Horrors, Bolt - 316
11 Horrors, Bolt - 197
9 Horrors, Bolt, Changeling - 168
Total 2999
TBH even with the Horrors 10 Bolts is not great anti-tank, but the Bloodcrushers can bust lighter tanks if they're lucky. Versus Paladins, they eat 10 Bolts a Turn, each one nicely IDing provided I get past the invun. Torrent of fire should take a few more down to the popint where 8 Bloodcrushers is sufficient to overwhelm. With 24 Crushers on 60mm bases, I can herd the enemy army. It's impossible to outrun everything on a 6x4 board, so long as I get some good DS's. Versus numbers, 258 Warpfire shots should punch a hole in most anything. We also have 12 Daemonic Gaze shots to plough through tougher targets. It's not going to be beating razorspam, but most of these footlists are challenged. Ork hordes don't like losing ~42 Models a turn factoring in KFF. With the changeling, I have a decent chance, when well positioned, of forcing the IG superplatoons to shoot each other. That would be fun to watch. I haven't done calculations, but suffice to say they are also losing a LOT of models to massed Warpfire. This is without factoring in out T5 2W crushers!
