space wolves and blood angels for the win!

Kan wall + Tau w/ heavy Broadsides and Hammerheads - who do you cover? If you don't shoot at the Kans you die.........if you don't handle the Tau guns you die. These two armies have each others weakness covered to a T!

What I noticed the other day would be BA + IG...

Deepstrike a librarian then drop someone's LD to 2-6 then hit them with that psychic power that makes them take an LD check -4 or flee...

Also, depending on the points, Deathcompany with jump packs and power weapons, when you destroy those annoying fodder units, destroy any infantry unit.

GK + IG... 50 man blob/ conscripts + summoning ... I like the idea of conscripts as well, since you can SitNW and then drop them off some where more useful ... maybe add karamazov for extra wackiness he can always leave them before you remove the unit

Nids with DoM, Devs, and a Tyrant or two droping psychic scream teamed up with IG spamming PBS and AT is quite a bit of fun.

CSM + Daemons.

well played a 10,000 pt game with BA, DA, SW, SM, BT, SOB, and IG with all there powers working on each other since there all Imperial it worked with the fluff VS Orks,Tau and Eldar other then the big mek's KFF which has an AOE and we always play that even a foe inside the KFF gane the cover save. Ork, Tau and Eldar could not use each others powers, wargear, join each others units et cetera,

in 2 turns 3 wraithlords and 9 Broadsides had destroyed every APC in the Imperial army, that inclued 8 landraiders.

needless to say we kited the rest of the army

if option one then i would choose fast BA assault spam and plasma IG spam, the BA could go up contest and take ground whilst the much slower (not wasting points on expensive transports and what not) and move up to reinforce the BA.

It sounds madness, what would be the Rules on Transports? I mean I know most of use wouldn't try this, but someone would be bound to say "Hey, why can't a Terminator Assault Squad fit inside a Valkyrie" or something equally silly. Most of the Imperial stuff Works well with each other, A DARK ELDAR and ELDAR army might be a nice force. Or a Cult of Speed coupled with a Stompa force or something like a proper Waaaaaaaghhh....

Tau Gunline + Green Tide Orks

Tau take two squads of 6 fire warriors (cheapest possible troops requirement) and then just spam Broadsides, Missle Pod Suits, and possibly even two 4+4 squads of pathfinders.

Orks huge boy blobs with power klaw nobs hidden inside for maximum tar pit.
