This is my stupid list that I made up that I thought would be funny; try to keep your lists at 2000 point range.


Okay here it is ( this is pretty slowed FYI)

Fabius Bile 160 points



Troops
9 man w/ 1 meltas , Icon , aspring w/ Powerfist Rhino 247

10 man w/ 2 Meltas , Icon of Tzeetch,aspiring w/ powerfist Rhino 310

10 man w/ 2 Meltaguns , Icon of Tzeetch aspiring w/ Powerfist , Rhino 310

18 Man Daemon Squad 234

18 Man Daemon Squad 234

18 Man Daemon Squad 234

18 man Daemon Squad 234

Please enjoy my 100 model army w/ 5+ invulnerable and fearless. Its stupid Id love to field it just not going to work and its horribly expensive.


This is also a slowed list that is just horribly expensive


Shrike 195

30 Thunderhammer and Stormshield Terminators 1200

Troops

10 Scouts w/ CC w/ PF SGT x 3 155

8 Scouts w/ CC w/ PF Sgt 124

Its just not practical to field.

If I lose it is because I had bad luck, if you win it is because you cheated.

Hmm, someone in the Flash Gitz thread was thinking about an odd boyz list, expanding on that, I came up with this.

2xBig Mek (one with KFF and Power Klaw, the other with a SAG and a Power Klaw)
110 points (KFF, PK)
125 points (SAG, PK, BP)

10 gretchin with 1 runtherd 40 points

Deff Dread w Dread CCW and scorcha (grot riggers) 100points

Deff Dread W Dread CCW and big shoota (armor plates) 105points

1 Battlewagon with 2x Bigshootaz a kannon and a Deffrolla 125points

10Flash Gitz with a painboy (cybork bodies), shootier and more dakka 430points

10Flash Gitz with a painboy (cybork bodies), shootier and more dakka, with Kaptin Badrukk. 565points

comes out to 1600points if my math is right. Would be totally hillarious to field it as Badrukk's krew

My Biker marines list is costing £215 with 20% off.

Ive decided to leave that project to when I got the cash and getting a LR marine list.

I've got that list, more-or-less, built and painted Pics in army profiles, except for the repentia unit.


Stupidly expensive - along with FW guard lists, Vostroyan infantry lists... They're also stupidly heavy to carry around.

Umm, Orks are cheap, especially if you abuse the Aobr, ESPECIALLY if someone you know plays space marines and can split the cost with you.

You see the majority of people who post on YTTH hurts always seem to agree with EVERYTHING he says. I post there sometimes and frequently lurk but I dont think Orks are a crap army, I think there anti-tank isnt amazing but there still a great army.

They also (Without having any idea what there talking about) Make silly ideas up like Orks are REALY expensive.

Like people have said, take an imperial guard army full of conscripts, but with out any weapon upgrades whatsoever. Use FW models: renegades, death korps, elysians, makes no difference.

CCS: 50

Platoon (x6)
PCS:30 (180)
20 Infantry: 100 (600)
50 Conscripts: 200 (1200)

That's 2030 points. Take away 10 conscripts, 1990. 445 men.

Based on the ten-man kits for each FW IG line:
Elysians, £35.25 x 44.5= £1568.63
Krieg, £34.25 x 44.5= £1523.13
Vraks Renegades, £10.25 (conversion kit, so add £18 for 10 cadians) £28.25 x 44.5= £1257.13

So, I think there can't be many armies more ridiculous than Elysians. Maybe someone could calculate the cost of 2000 points of wraithguard?

Eldar Corsairs: 4000 pts
