Titles says it all.

I'll start by saying something I have been wanting to do ever since the new Daemon Codex was released, Primarily playing CSM.

The army starts off with me taking the following

Ahriman 230pts
Dark Apostle (Mark of Tzeentch) 120pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
4 Thousand Sons + 1 Sorcerer 150 pts
ADL + Quadgun
1050pts Total

Daemon Allies

Lord of Change (Mastery 3 + Greater & Exalted rewards) 305pts
20 Pink Horrors of Tzeentch 180pts

Now, to explain the idea behind this odd looking list.
Without going into an overly thought out number crunching brainstorm, the idea is simply this...
Continuously cast Boon of Mutation on the Lord of Change with any psyker that managed to roll on the Tzeentch table, getting Boon of Mutation...
Why?
Because I had a dream... In this dream of wishes, one day, a Lord of Change would roll on the boon table and be granted Mechanoid.
To further his hopes of rolling on this, the Dark Apostle is in the unit

It's a gutter list for sure, but one day I want to play a game against some of my friends and simply forge a narrative in which this Lord of Change was trying to take over the universe XD

Renew is the name of the game and with 10 Warlocks and a Spirit Seer you should get 2 on average. Let Fuegan make those saves and the ones that get through only make him stronger.

Just to see the look on my opponents face after my turn 1 as i will be on their doorstep and see them sweat as they decide what the hell to shoot at.

1: can chaos daemons roll on the boon table or do they have a similar one to chaos marines?

2: what's mechanoid?

There is a tzen spell in the CSM book that can allow the one who it was cast on to roll on the boon table. With all those sorcs in his list he will have a good chance of getting it a few times.

Mechanoid gives +1 to your armour save.

Basically this list, but Big Meks with KFFs instead of the Warbosses, and probably some out-flanking DeffKoptas for vehicle busting.

@steffo thank you for clearing that up lol

I would like to run an all infantry Space marine list, I have quite a few regular marines ive built up and i think it would be nice to make literally as many as i can into a 1500 point list.

In the same thread, Id like to do the same for my Dark Eldar, by running 100+ kabalites in a game with no vehicles. I used to do that waaaay back when you could get 10 man Dark Lance squads on the cheap, and it was glorious.

I'd love to do this list for BA at 1k for laughs, though I never will(and I'd hate myself for doing it if I ever did):

Librarian
Tac Squad

Storm Raven

6 Deathstrike Missile Launchers and 1000 conscripts with Chenkov.

1)
500 Pts of Eldar using iyanden

1 Spiritseer

Farseer casts buffs on the wraithguard.

This list will work once only.

A fun list I would want to run is probably a classic: Full Blood Angel Death Company army

Tyranid swarm:

180 gaunts marched across the board.

It certainly can win a couple games I think. The problems is being able to buy them all...

I'd like to run an actual battle company to see how it would do

I own 240...and 240 Hormagaunts...when Its just horde...the hormagaunts do much better...adrenal glands for tank busting and reroll 1s to hit...

At some point in the far, far future, I'd like to run a drop pod list. At some point in the even farther future, I'd like to run a CSM list with 120+ power armored bodies.

Perhaps you could get some Dreadclaws for a CSM "Drop pod" list?

I would like to try a heavy mech list with blitzkrieg style play.

I play Tau, so i don't know how effective that would be, but i think it would be cool.

I try to find ways to change up the style that Tau (at least) are known for.

3x 10 CCW Scouts with Power weapon sergeant.

2x 10 Scout bikers with grenade launchers (seasoned to taste)

1x Land Speeder storm with multi-melta (for a little kick)

SM Librarian

Ageis Defense line with Icarus


Step 1: set up the defense line as far forward as possible
Step 2: infiltrate EVERYTHING!!!
Step 3: Enjoy allocating wounds to special weapons
Step 4: ?????
Step 5: Lose horribly

3 x monolith.. DS them into a triangle and pull 20 man warrior units with lords and teks through each one... create a triangle of death.

Two( maybe three) doom arks stuffed on a skyshield just to mess with people.

I want to run a 'Send in the Next Wave' list. It would be prohibitively expensive to field, but it sure looks like fun!

The Dark Apostle can't join the LoC sadly.
But otherwise yeah, I have been secretly wanting to try something like this with a Tzeentch DP or Tzeentch Disc Lord.

Not sure what else would be in it... Maybe mass dreds...

Allways wanted to try this out, and did so today!


The Flash gitz did better than expected.


They wiped out a entire unit of Infilitrated scouts ignore cover <3 and killed 4 termies by shooting (most creds to badruk )

and the last guy in CC, hiting first ftw ^^

The flash gitz are sure crazy expensive! to get a group like that they cost you bout 500points. (for 11 models) We are talking orks here!

Flyrant, dakka, HC

3 Ripper swarms
Dakkafex in a Pod

Doom in a SPod
3 Zoanthropes in a SPod
5 Ymgarl genestealers
Aegis Defense Line with Comms relay

I deploy the Flyrants and Rippers
Rippers man Comms relay, out of LoS of enemy army (behind Aegis line are too low to be shot), Tyrants fly off table. With a 2+ re rollable for reserves, I'll get everything turn 2 right in my opponents face. In a 5 turn game, theres a 99% chance either myself or my opponent is getting tabled.

For 1850, drop Y Stealers, three gants and the Scytals on the Tervi.

Asdrubael Vect- Dais of Destruction
full squad of Harlequins or inccbi with all the trimmings in the dais
Duke Sliscus so I can deep strike the dais in with my deathstar inside

Just thought of another for BT

and only a single FoC

SM bike army. I picked up enough bikes for the mediatory troop picks, need to assemble and paint them.

Ironclad w/hurricane bolter and 2xHSs. He's like a AV13 tac squad strolling across the table. Not sure if it's worth the opportunity cost of not drop podding him in with a more conventional loadout though.

Lysander + Cassius formed into a IC HQ unit. It would be the ultimate buddy comedy film! You have T6 due to the average toughness rule, 2+/3++ EW taking hits on point, and the hammer of Dorn re-rolling misses on the charge due to the chaplain. Hijinks ensue as your roll across the table mulching stuff.

I want to make a CSM list with as many psykers as possible. So Ahriman, ML 3 Sorcerer, 6 Thousand Sons squads...
It probably won't be very good, but it will be fun.

I want to make a doublr force org list with 54 reavers, 2 min squads of wracks an AGL and some haemies with a few ravs for back up

4 Dark Angels LRCs with Dakka Banner.

5 BW Orks.

I've always wanted to run triple Looted Wagons for my Orks. Mostly for the lulzs. The guns on them are pretty awesome even if its on a tin box.

I'd like to outflank a Deathstrike missile launcher at some point with Creed. Efficiency, none, but it's fun to try.

On a sky shield, with a mob of boyz in the perimeter to make assaulting the tinboxes impossible.

2 DA Libby w/ PFG & divination powers

Command Squad w/ SoD & apoth

Tech marine w/ pfg 5 servitors & servo harness

2 5 man tac's with lascannon

3 Darktalons
3 LRC's w/ dozer blades

1950 pt


Just camp a corner until air comes in. 3 LRC wall to protect the flag, techie to repair the AV 14 walls
3 pfg's to give the vehicle blob 4++ ; the apoth gives fnp for redundancy if something goes awry.
Hover strike the dark talons so they can complete the salvo 2/4 x 12 hurricane bolter wall of death
(That's 36 x 4 twin linked bolter rounds to anything in 24 inches. Math is on your side now )

/thread

These two can be done in the same list:

1. Max squad of tau stealth suits, all with burst cannons, all with the wargear that lets them make precision shots.

2. Stealth suits and kroot, all across the board. Infiltrate everything! (krootox and shadowsun in a fusion stealth suit squad for anti tank...yeah)

An army full of Bloodclaws.You can fit 90 powerarmors in a 1500 points game.

Baharrot
3x10 Swooping Hawks
2x6 GJB
3xNightSpinner

1500 pts. of Anti-Horde nastiness :p

Well I have 2. One, 2,000 points Tyranids

HQ 3 Tervigons, 3 powers, adrenal glands, toxin sacs

Troops 5 Tervigons, tricked out the same, 4 x13 and 1 x12 gants.

cliche using tervigons, but oh my, so much of fun. Hellishly expensive, just the reserve gants alone would need a case to themselves.

And the second is more reasonable in terms of my wallet.

Dark Eldar 1850

Urien Rakarth and some haemonculi.

3 squads of 4x Grotesques in raiders.

Wracks in raiders.

Suicide raider delivery system! Blow open the raider and there's a fun present for all the family!

I want to try 9 zoanthropes with all telepathy powers and then some sort of army to back that up with with. some lots of hordes I guess.

I want to mind control everything wmahahahahaha.

A literal bucket full of guardsmen.

I have the bucket, but its only a quarter full. I estimate I'll need 500 more guardsmen to fill it. Oh well, apoc here I come.

9 Malanthropes, 30 Ymgarls, 120 Genestealers, 90 Gargoyles (or 30 Shrikes so I can pretend to care about Synapse), 3 Trygons.

I just think it'd be fun.

I'll second this - and I might even do it one day. Heaven knows it'd be easy enough to paint quickly.
Another one I'd love to do is Blood Ravens with the characters converted to represent the various named Marines from the Dawn of War series. So for instance, the Chapter Master would be bionic Gabriel Angelos, Avitus would lead the Devastator squad, etc etc...

Melee Eldar List:

Solitarch

Camping Guardian Squads with Starcannons and/or Windrider Jetbikes as troops.

3x 10 man Striking Scorpion Squads, Exarchs and Scorpion Claws on all of them.

3x 9 man Shining Spear Squads, Exarchs, Hit and Run and Star Lance on all of them.

That army will get into combat on turn 2 with all units, and they will hopefully slaughter the enemy by turn 3.


Unrelated to 40k, but a hilarous Fantasy army.


Zombie Apocalypse Vampire Counts:

Blenderlord with Level 4 mounted on a horse.

5x Level 2 Necromancers

5x 50 man units of Zombies

14 Black Knights

+ a couple of added goodies of choice.

This army will not die. Never, ever, ever, ever will it die. Againt this ludicrous amount of Zombies, nothing can stand. The enemy will be stuck in a war of attrition they can't win. Don't be fooled, it's not only 250 Zombies, for every Invocation of Nehek (the VC resurrection spell, that each Necromancer has) 2D6+2 Zombies will get back up, in an AOE, and they can be increased beyond their starting level. With a bit of luck this could easily approach 400 Zombies in the army. They won't kill anything, but the Vampire Lord and the Black Knights should be able to handle that.

The Parasite of Mortrex

3 hive guard for every 500 pts and fill the list only with Reaper swarm loaded with Spinefists, Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs.

Conscripts... Only conscripts.

A single ethereal, and all the fire warriors with haywire I can get.

It would be terrible but you'd damn well better be ready for it.

Also, the same, but in devilfish, with a trio of skyrays at the back

Of course, playing Heldrakes would suck horribly for you, but otherwise its a massive middle finger to everyone and everything, ever. Most armies literally can't keep all this off an objective.

Basically Heldrakes, MCs with Iron Arm, Wraithlords/knights and... yeah that might be it.

Other than the Dark Apostle's unit, CSM can be swept in combat by assault units.

This list will get chewed up by a lot of the more aggressive armies, including daemons and other fast aggressive armies.

I'd love to field the super command squad, Straken, Nork, Kell, Medic, rest of the guys with close combat weapons. Then take all the advisers you can cram in, all the priests, yarrick and tech priests.

Ulrik and Arjac, and a way to field an all-Terminator SW army!

Everybody gets Drop Pods, Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields.

Pretty much an all-or-nothing list. Either it smashes, or it gets smashed, but I like Ulrik, Arjac, and Tactical Dreadnoughts.

Oh. And Ulrik can't go in a Pod?! WTF...

If I ever got the money, I would do this:

Reclusiarch

X3 Furioso (Frag Cannon, Heavy Flamer)

X25 DC (Bolters)

X5 DC Dreads (Blood Fists)

X2 Regular Dreads(Assault Cannon)

Regular Dread(TL HB)

11 Dreads. 11.



Lucarikx

Honestly, i want to run a pure Stormboy list but sadly since theres no Stormboss allowing them to be troops its only going to be about 1/3 of my army at best at the average point game.

Hmm....that would be an interesting addition in the new ork codex actually...let the Warboss take Stormpacks or a Deffkopta and can make either nobz or stormboys or koptas a troop choice (one, not all 3). Not that competitive but would be hilarious and fun which is what orks are about!

Logan

Rune Priest in term x3

All Termies in drop pods after that baby!!!!

Oh, except for Logans unit. LF with 2 MM and 3 HB in drop pod. Vet sarg with frost axe. DIE MOFOS!!! lol

Canis wolfborn with 6 packs of fenrisian wolves.

= 925 points

Thats 92 fenrisian wolves

Then fill out the rest of the points with thunder wolf cavalry, lord or battle leaders on wolves with wolfes as wargear and iron priests on wolves with cyberwolves.

Since the new Eldar dex has arrived I've REALLY wanted to use a list that capitalizes on Horrify and Dominate. The thought of crippling enemy LD and then shutting them down every phase with Dominate sounds really awesome. The only thing holding me back is the lack of consistency... :/

2x Farseers: with Jetbikes, 3x Telepathy rolls to maximize Terrify, Dominate, and Psychic Shriek
4x Warlocks: with Jetbikes and all trying to get that Horrify off

4x3 Windriders: Warlock escorts

2x Hemlocks: Mindshock Pods, and Terrify

Throw in some decent AT and possible AA platforms and it looks like a fun time

at 1500 points

2 Flyrants

3 Tervigon

Mawloc

6 Monstrous creatures

2000 points of just straight Necron Warriors and 2 HQ's with Res Orbs. Donkey Caves to the max.

Just for laughs - double force org Necron Spyder spam

@2000

2x Destroyer lords with goodies

4x 5 man Warrior squads (two in Nightscythes)

3x 7 man Scarab squads

6x 3 man Spyder squads

18 additional Scarab bases going down a turn, not to mention the 18 S6 3W T6 3+Sv MCs charging down the field. At 2500, it'd be fun to load them up with particle beamers for tons of twin-linked S6 blasts.

If they actually made it into CC it would be ridiculous. 25 ap1 and ap3 shots rerolling all missed hits and wounds from each squad. The barrage of fire from the 3 Stormravens would be great too.

If you table your opponent you still win :-)

Try saying that to tervigons while they are burping out their angry purple offspring...

I always wanted to try 50 outflanking conscripts with al'raheim, with chenkov to send in the next wave for re-outflanking 50 conscripts.

Dark Eldar Wych Cult. Possibly using a Webway Portal.

And have just started building one (first ten Wyches built, woo!) so it will eventually be a reality.

What can I say? I like an uphill struggle and the new Tau book with its new gizmos and rules just doesn't fulfill that for me

So Tau are being put on hold for the first time since 4th edition until they're suitably old and need updating again

Last edition wych cult were really good, they have been properly nerfed by not being able to take blasters.

JC1 wrote:

its more the fact that the entirety of assault has been nerfed. The introduction of over watch and unreliable charges means that wyches are pretty much all going to die before they reach the opponent.

Sometime I'd like to run a full BA vanguard vet squad all with 2 handflamers and then dare people to charge them. 20D3 S3 hits ftw.

its more the fact that the entirety of assault has been nerfed. The introduction of over watch and unreliable charges means that wyches are pretty much all going to die before they reach the opponent.

Fleet mitigates the unreliable charge ranges somewhat, and overwatch can be managed by using small throwaway squads to force the opponent to use their overwatch on the small unit lest it make it into base contact and make the unit unable to overwatch the larger, more dangerous unit.

'Course this falls down against Tau who can overwatch with multiple units, as they can overwatch the first unit with the unit being charged then use backup units to hit the real threat if it tries to charge. So you'd basically have to charge all their units at once to spread the overwatch out. That's going to take some serious planning and a whole heap of luck to get units into position to do that.

Another fun list but man would it be expensive though I have heard of people running it is what I call Barrel of Monkeys.

I would run it as

HQ
Coteaz

Troops
5x 12 man Jokaero Weaponsmith

That's 60 Lascannon/MultiMelta/Heavy Flamer shots...please tell me who can deal with that? You better go first. On average 30 will hit and about 25 will wound. Problem is 60 Monkeys will run you about $900 US at 2200pts


Another fun one would be a Psyker Bomb.

HQ
Coteaz w/
8x Psykers
4x Crusaders

Troops
6x 8man Psykers and 4man Crusaders

That's 7x Str10 AP1 Pieplates per turn for 1000pts Crusaders are there as bodyguards for SS invuln.
This list would run you about $550...actually a lot more expensive then I thought for 1000pts.

Small units give kill points, fleet doesn't entirely compensate unreliable charges and larger squads of why he's usually still die to space marines and the like very easily.

With only one mission decided by killpoints they aren't as important anymore, so MSU's in Venoms are more useful than ever. Night Shields and Flickerfields mitigate T1 fire coming your way in case you don't go first (protecting the First Blood secondary objective) and then you can hit one unit with everything you've got to get First Blood. If it's a vehicle you have Lances and Haywire Grenades, multiple small units increase the amount of grenades you can throw at it so you can possibly destroy it in shooting, which means its occupants are then vulnerable to be shot at by the Splinter Cannons on your Venoms or whatever anti-infantry you have.

If it was even somewhat viable I'd love to run a LD bomb list for daemons in 40k.

A full Death from the Skies list...about 2400pts

Troops
3x 5man DC w/ 4x Power Sword and 1x Thunder Hammer
Lemartes
3x DC Dreadnought

Heavy
3x Stormraven w/ TL MM, TL Assaul Cannon, and TL Hurricane Bolter Sponsons

Start nothing on the board and rain DC and Dreads Turn 2. Each 5man DC squad accompanied by the 3 different Chaplains. If they actually made it into CC it would be ridiculous. 25 ap1 and ap3 shots rerolling all missed hits and wounds from each squad. The barrage of fire from the 3 Stormravens would be great too.

I just want to point out that you can take a DC Dread for every 5 DC Marines you have in the army.
They dont need to be in seperate squads.
So technicaly you can take one 25man DC Marine squad and 5 DC Dreads as Troops.
This wont be the best list in a mission with objectives tho...

I'm going to try this one out in the next couple of weeks:

SoB main detachment with IG allies:

Celestine + 10 rough riders with mogul kamir -celestine tanks out front and then on charge the unit gets 40-42Str6 AP3 attacks going at I5. Plus Celestine's attacks

3 x 10woman retributor squads with 4xHF and a CF in a repressor. - Charge forward at full pace with front AV 13. - Squad has 5 HFs and 1 flamer shot with possibility of getting rending off on all but 1 HF.

3x 10 woman seraphim squads with 4 hand flamers each squad and melta bombs - DS these in really aggressively to see if they can screw over stuff with their re-roll to wound on shooting

2x 10 woman battle sister squads for main troops all with flamers.

1x vet squad and 1 x CCS possibly all with flamers.

3x 10 sister repentia squads to charge forward at the enemy and try and kill armour.

Comes in at around 2500 points but with shaving could get a similar effect at 2000 points I reckon

Just watch your opponents face as you charge forward everything giving him almost too many options to shoot at once. Any infantry you can shoot die horribly under sheer weight of firey death. But cry when you see your opponent bringing lots of heavy armour with large blast shooting attacks!
