Spaec Merines

Should I purchase 3 redeemers only to put 3 ten man scout squads in them?

Can I purchase a Techmarine from elites and put him in my Thunderfire squad.

I really want to just run 3 Thunderfires and all scouts I dont know why.

Eldar

I really want to take 18 singing spears and 50 jetbikes with a seer council DAMN THE COST IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Those are my so far slowed ideas that I immediately dismissed.

Oh and taking 60 Raptors OH GOD THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE.

At 2500 could i run 4 assault termies with 4 landraider crusaders? I think i can, but is that a powerlist?

No, you could run 2 squads of terminators, one assault one traditional, each with a land raider, and then 3 in HS.

Xav: Minimum 1840 points, 20 models. I think it might be too much of a good thing, if that makes sense. They are awesome at what they do, but a little one dimensional. If someone has decent anti-tank, you will not be having fun.

I thought you could take one for each squad?

One squad can have it and no its not a powerlist.

24 Terms w/ T and SS in

3 Crusaders

It is 1785 points

DOOOOOOOO IT.

Read your codex.

One that only comes up on Dakka for me is 'what if my friends and I have fun while playing by what we think was the author's intentions?'

Should I run Mad Doc Grotsnik and hordes of bionik boyz in battlewagons? I would be expensive point-wise, and a royal pain in the ass conversion-wise, but It's legal!

Cease and desist immediately!

Don't forget to figure out a way to fit in shrike or vulcan.

I really want to get ahold of 180 grots and field them with 6 Battlewagons.

Shrike + 10-man Assault squad and Lysander + 5 man Assault Termies ( SS/TH ) in LRR.

Awesome plan?

Needs more Assault Terms in Crusader.

2000 points of "Don't bother aiming men, just shoot."

That looks like a old school Tyranid List.

I would not go with more than 150 Gaunts max.

Thats a good range.

You could do the old school, Thousand of little guys Oh and Here are some Carnifexes.

Should i run 200 Guardsmen and 12 Las Cannons in a 2000 point tourny list?

Wee, perfect, a third place to post this list:
Mek w Shokk Attack Gun - 100 pts
Mek w Shokk Attack Gun - 100 pts

10 lootas - 150 pts
10 lootas - 150 pts

19 grots w runtherd - 67 pts
19 grots w runtherd - 67 pts

5 Deffkoptas w Bigbomms, TL Rokkits - 300 pts
5 Deffkoptas w Bigbomms, TL Rokkits - 300 pts
5 Deffkoptas w Bigbomms, TL Rokkits - 300 pts

Looted Wagon w Boomgun - 105 pts
Looted Wagon w Boomgun - 105 pts
Looted Wagon w Boomgun - 105 pts

= 1849

Turboboost all deffkoptas in the scout phase, then turboboost them across the opposing army if they are infantry and drop 15 S4 AP5 Large Blasts (unless you are facing mech, in which case you move, shoot, maybe assault).
Then drop 3 x S8 large blasts and 2x S2d6 large blasts.
Follow it up with between 20 and 60 S7 shots from the lootas.
Put either the grots or the lootas infront of the Looted Wagons' so that they can't move more than an inch or two if they happen to roll a 1 for "don't press dat!".

I almost think running into the above "200 guardsmen" list and getting first turn would make creating this list worth it.. Even though I know this list isn't very good and doesn't work very well if you don't get first turn, it's tempting. So very, very orky.

Anyway, a question - if I put a unit right infront of my looted wagon, and it rolls a 1 for "don't press dat", am I right in thinking that it can't move (can't move friendly units) and that I can still shoot?

Also, Hollimason, I don't think you can take more than 15 shining spears. It would look amazing on the table tho - seer council leading 3 shining spear squads leading a bunch of jetbikes),

Argh you are right their 3-5 Regardless I really want to play the following list. That Mek List looks cool and should work.

Farseer w/
Doom, Fortune, singing spear, jetbike, seer stones, 158

Farseer w/
Fortune, runes of warding, jetbike, Singing Spear 128


Troops
9 Man Guardian Jetbike w/ 3 Shuri w/ Warlock w/ Conceal w/ singing spear 293

9 man Guard Jetbike w/ 3 Shuri w/ Warlock w/ conceal w/ singing Spear 293

9 man Guard Jetbike w/ 3 Shuri w/ Warlock w/ Conceal w/ Singing Spear 293


Fast Attack

5 Man Shining Spear w/ Exarch w/ Star Lance , Withdraw 227

5 Man Shining Spear w/ Exarch w/ Star Lance , Withdraw 227

5 Man Shining Spear w/ Exarch w/ Star Lance , Withdraw 227

1846 points.


If I shot for 2000 I could add more, but regardless I want to play with 15 Singing Spears. I really like the models Argh so expensive though.

Yeah I feel you, the shining spears look so sweet. It's too bad they are so universally reviled (probably for good reason).

At least they come in 3 bike boxes unlike the regular jetbikes

I've always wanted to run this list

Calgar
Librarian With nullzone and force dome

2x10 man honor guard with lots of giggidy in Land Raiders

Tac squad in Razorback
Tac squad in Razorback
Scouts(?)

Vindicator
Vindicator

Something with meltas

I know it prolly wouldn't be effective, but hey, it doesn't have to be, 'cause it would be FUUUN!!!

I too suffer from Honor Guard Affliction and use them inefficiently all the time. I dont know why I just like using them.

Hmm, fo rsome reason I can't think of any at the moment, but I have LOTS. I will post again because I like the idea of being able to air them out without being made fun of for it

Here's one for now...
How in the world do you finish a 2000 point game in under 2 hours (for a tournament, for example). I'm going to my first one next weekend, and I'm petrified, because I never finish that size of game under 3 1/2 or 4 hours...

I know that's a slightly different vein of question, but it is one I was always afraid to ask

Plan well, don't bitch about rules disputes and have your dice preportioned to roll in the event of a full attack.

Yah know i had a problem with this untill my first tourney then i see that i was just being paranoid and mostly game managers plan for the games to go fast and make the game types and such to compliment this
