With no restrictions besides the force org chart and the legal codices themselves what are the most broken/cheesiest/beardy 500 point lists?

I'd really like to see what every army can do but the only one I can offer much insight into is Chaos Space Marines. I have three that feel almost unbeatable in a 500 point type game described above (I pick that kind of restrictions because it goes down at my FLGS all the time).

Sorc, MoS, Lash 125
5x CSM 75
5x CSM 75
3x Oblits 225
CSM take objectives, Sorc joins Oblits and kills

DP, Wings, MoS, Lash 155
DP, Wings, MoS, Lash 155
6x CSM flamer 95
6x CSM flamer 95
Lash into flamer templates then assault

Sorc, MoS, Lash 125
5x CSM 75
6x CSM 90
Chaos Dread, extra DCCW w/ flamer 105
Chaos Dread, extra DCCW w/ flamer 105
Sorc chills with 5x CSM Lash into flamer position/charge range of Dreads

What do you think the other codices can do(Or could you do Chaos better?)?

5 DA 60
5 DA 60
eldrar 210
falcon EML 135
falcon EML 135

What are you gonna lash? Sit the falcons behind cover, and eldrad out of sight, and just have him fortune both and guide one...

Game over.

Just about any half-decent DE 500 list.
You lose.

I DONT WANNA LOSE

dreadsock * 3

More seriously though. I don't know very much about DE, would they have an easy time getting past a 4++ rerollable save on my tanks? (granted I wouldn't be able to kill warriors particularly fast...)

1 Big Mek @ 110 Pts
Choppa; Shokk Attack Gun; Stikkbombs; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!; 'Eavy Armour; Cybork Body; Mek's Tools

1 Big Mek @ 110 Pts
Choppa; Shokk Attack Gun; Stikkbombs; Furious Charge; Mob Rule; Waaagh!; 'Eavy Armour; Cybork Body; Mek's Tools

1 Deff Dread @ 95 Pts
Dreadnought CCW (x2); Big Shoota (x2); Armour Plates

1 Deff Dread @ 95 Pts
Dreadnought CCW (x2); Big Shoota (x2); Armour Plates

1 Deff Dread @ 90 Pts
Dreadnought CCW (x2); Big Shoota (x2); Grot Rigger

Total Roster Cost: 500

- Dracon (punisher, hellboard, shadowfield, tormenter helmet) (100)
- 10 warriors (2 dark lances)
- 10 warriors (2 dark lances)
- 10 warriors (2 dark lances)
- 10 warriors (2 dark lances)

This list will be able to kill dreads, Monstrous creatures and has enough troops for taking objectives. The dracon provides some assault but should not generaly be needed...

Another anoying list would be:
Weirdboy (warphead) [85]
30 ardboys (nob with big choppa, bosspole and 3 rockits)[350]
18 gretchin + 11 runtherd [64]

or the all out boys list:
Big mek (kff)[85]
20 boys (nob with claw, pole, 2 rockits)[180]
20 boys (nob with claw, pole, 2 rockits)[180]
Killer kan with kustommegablasta [55]

I see your DE list and raise you Nurglings!
7 nurglings
7 nurglings
7 nurglinhs
7 nurglings
4 nurglings
herald (WOC) 80

no it wont win against anything but the silly DE list but would be interesting to play. This thread was done several times before and I still like the eldar jetbike army for cheese

im sorry but i have to laugh at the fact that following FO chart at 500 points necrons only have 1 army list possible
lord
warrx10
warrx10
and 40 points of lord wargear or 2 extra warrs

nothing else you can do lol

You really have to take into account that you will be playing mostly SM. Here's and anti-SM list:

Junior Officer, iron discipline, bolter
3 lasguns, 1 lascannon

Troops - Platoon 1
command- Junior Officer, iron discipline, bolter
3lasguns, 1 lascannon

Squad with heavy bolter, grenade launcher

Squad with heavy bolter

Troops - Platoon 2
command - Junior officer, iron discipline
3 lasguns, missile launcher

Squad with missile launcher

Squad with missile launcher

Wasn't this a thread on /tg/. God Damned NewFags.

IG. SOmething a long the lines of:

Doctrine: Grenadier

Junior Officer, Command squad
5x Storm Troopers, 2x Plasma
5x Storm Troopers, 2x Plasma
Leman Russ Demolisher
Leman Russ

I think that was the best on the /tg/ thread the last time I checked. Along the lines of it, anyway.
