Considering this topic is going to be filled with different types of army lists, it might as well be posted in this section.

Like the topic says, post the wackiest lists that capitalize on the use of a single type of model, weapon, special rule, or whatever!

It'll be interesting to see how many of these will actually be viable.

I'll get the topic started with some Eldar.

This list fails miserably against AV 13 and higher, but the sheer amount of S6 fire going at the enemy is hilarious.

I look forward to what you can think up!

Is this limited to Eldar, or any army would do?

Pretty sure the opening four lines of the original post imply that any list that spams one thing fits quite well.

As for my contribution, insert generic Nob Biker spam list. Takes one unit and spams it until there's nothing left. Next?

Momentary hijack here, but if you dropped the dire avengers and the wave serpents for them and replaced them with as many guardian squads with bright lance platforms, this could really be scary!

Freezes list vs Mekboys list (plus 350 more points of orkyness) would be sooooo funny to watch.

This would make an infantry meq amy crap itself. The only reason it wouldn't work is that the squads are really small, no Anti Tank, and with that many shots, (rapid firing especially) = 13 Overheats a turn = about 5 CSM dead in your first round of rapidfire (if they all are still alive lol)

A good healthy amount of blast template spam here. The anti-tank & contest-ability is in the hawks so its kinda viable. The harlequins are simply to give the autarchs somthing useful to do. Or to do, with.

Edit mk.2 : @ Augfubuoy - Just though Id mention that rapid fire is limited to 12" always. It being half the weapons range is simply an illusion from the similiarities at 24" with the well known boltgun.

Make that 12" or less, Rapid-fire isn't half distance, it's always just 12". That was the first rules error I ever made with my Tau.

I've always wanted to run a goofy-ass ninja-tau stealth armor list for tau where you filled you elites with stealth suits, brought a gakload of stealth sniper teams, and may all the rest of your gak deep strike in with positional relay.

So, basically, ninja tau, but you start with more stuff on the field.

Suits Only/Missiles, Fire, and Rails in ya' Face:
30 Twinlinked Missiles, 15 Flamers, 9 Twinlinked Railguns (or 36 Smart Missiles)

I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a fun time. I was thinking about dropping all the Shield Drones from the command squads to put in a Plasma Rifle on every squad Leader/Commander, but then the model cost gets too high and their survivability at range drops considerably.

Yeah exactly, wait... I didn't think I had to make the list effective, just over the top :p

I was looking into making it more effective, but adding meltaguns or a demon prince just sort of ruins the whole concept, plus it feels like work.
