My friend and I were chatting about our most horrifically under powered or useless units, and for fun started coming up with "Worst of" lists.
Show me your worst (legal) 1000 point army list, and tell me how much they suck and why.
Bonus points for pointing out the "worst of the worst" army. The army with the MOST types bad units.

Here is mine, an "All Comers" list with a lot of different bad stuff in it.

HQ
Weirdboy w/ Warphead - 85

Elite
15x Tankbustas w/ 2 tankhammers, 3 bomb squigs - 240

Ok, so I'm 10 pts over, but you get the point.
That's my worst Ork list, but I bet other Ork players can top me.

How about an awful IG list?

That's just ugly.
This is a great example of bad game design.

Or loganwing but logan alone and a bunch of wolfguard on bikes with 2 stormshileds 108 a modle

Sadly, yes My blame goes to my lack of hits with anything. I don't know how, but I used FRFSRF on a full strength 30 man blob, and got 2 wounds, both of which were saved

ROFL that's awesome, an upgrade worth more then the actual model. And to the OP whats wrong with a Wierdboy/Warphead?

HQ = Yriel 155

T1 = 10x Wraithguard, Spiritseer, Singing Spear, Conceal 399

T2 = 20x Guardians, ShuriCannon platform 170

T3 = 3x Guardian Jetbikes, ShuriCannon 76

T4 = 10x Guardians, EML 100

T5 = 10x Guardians, EML 100

1000

This is a bit of a "theme" list, and although Eldar have so many worse units I could have taken (Swooping Hawks, etc), I can't see this list winning many games.

Aun'va 205

Shas'o - twinlinked flamer, multi-tracker, Sheild generator, Target lock 111

12 Firewarriors - pulse carbines 120

12 Firewarriors - pulse carbines 120

Crisis - Shas'vre, twinlinked flamer, shield generator, target lock, multitracker 71

Crisis - Shas'vre, twinlinked flamer, shield generator, target lock, multitracker 71

Skyray - 145

Vespid - 10 vespid 160

Here we go well it's got Aun'va the worst unit in the entire game by a country mile. He makes my army stubborn so when you assault me I won't run away so you can wipe me out in my turn and then assault me again in your next turn.

The firewarriors have pulsecarbines meaning only 1 BS3 shot each (no marker lights) and they have to be within 18" to fire meaning most likley assault range of their target.

All the crisis suits are lone units with multitrakers an dtargetlocks which are entirely useless to them and have twinlinked flamers which means they get 1 shot before they are dead (if that).

I've got the 145 points of fail known as the Skyray and the epically bad Vespid for support.

The army is slow has almost no firepower and no CC ability.

I don't think it could possibly beat any other army.

Chapter Master /Chainsword, Boltgun - 125pts

Scout Squad /Shotguns,Camo Cloaks - 170pts

Scout Squad /Shotguns,Camo Cloaks - 170pts

Drop Pod /Deathwind Launcher - 55pts

Drop Pod /Deathwind Launcher - 55pts

Techmarine /5 Servitors - 120pts

Techmarine /5 Servitors - 120pts

Techmarine /3 Servitors - 100pts

Whirlwind - 85pts

You will never ever ever win a game with this

I think that list would happily table my tau list and it isn't legal. You can't buy Drop pod except as DSTs for units and you have no units that can take DTs...

What to drop for them though? Everything I've got is just so terrible already. Perhaps the Skyray for 12 Gune drones? Just to ensure I have literally no AT fire?

what the

i did the math with 3 ruth per and 1 ruth with grot prod,notice it says "30 grechin 3 ruth then later 1 ruth with grot prod ie only 1 ruth per squad has a ruthprod

i think it'd be funny to model and field all the grechin with cyborks for the wtf factor, 5+ inv saves and the ruths are the only thing that can do any dmg other than mad doc and you have almost no control over that group due to mad doc's special rule one scaple short of a med pack

30 gretchin with cybork would tarpit the efff out of stuff. Insanity.

Since the almighty DECAPITATOR is not an IC he cannot join the Grotesques. With the no IC, the Grotesques blow up and kill the warriors, The Head Taker, and other grotesques with them.

The entire army is destroyed without a shot being fired!

I like the LD approach having them automatically dead, but this army is entirely destroyed. The Head Taker would have to make some good saves to save himself from dying.

tsk. That's the thing. Gun drones might be terrible shooting units, but they absolutely wreck face in CC. I once had 2 Gun drones completely wipe an entire squad of Khorne Berserkers, and continue on to hassle, harry and murder the rest of the opponent's army. And I'm not the only one.
