If you would ever truly do this, Please make a Planet of the Apes theme and take pictures for us
If I can ever manage to find 57 small furry space ape models for a fair price I will most certainly play a game like this and take plenty of pictures. As it stands from GW, that army costs $755.25
You could just add St.Celestine and Yarrik and have them LoS! all wounds. When they die, have them reincarnate to eat more wounds
7 Ork facts people always get wrong: Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other. A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot. Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests. Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books. Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor. Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers. Orks do not have the power of believe.

I don't know why, but I am thinking of an end of Tyranid invasion.
I call it late to the party. The Tyranids are already won and all is left is Rippers eating everything for digestion and then all of a sudden the enemy comes late to the party.
So an all Ripper Swarm with what ever points you are playing at.
500 points of Rippers? 1000 points of Rippers? 2000 points of Rippers?
Just wonder if it would be fair to through out the Instinctive Behaviour rule. Since it's fluffy that Nids get no allies (will see what happens in 7th) it should be fluffy that Rippers get no babysitters when it's devouring the planet into goo.

37 Jetlocks or 35 Jetlocks and a Jetseer with random singing spears allocated however you wish. Plan: roll for daemonology to get bloodthirsters. If that fails then suicide bomb them into the enemy and have them explode by throwing 6 dice at a psychic test to explode on the mishap table and damage the enemy.

Got a flyer on the opponent team, no problem, we can't even kill it so we won't try. But we will march onwards to death in the most grimdark way possible!
Got a tank on the opponent team, no problem, we still can't kill it so we will march onwards!
Got something that vaguely has an armour value of 10, no problem, we will also march past it!
Got typhus and butt-tonnes of zombies. Well, we will still die, but it will be a glorious fight!
If you believe in the emperor, then this list will reward you. It is a true test of faith to our immortal god-emperor! Failing which, we go back to rippie spamming.

You can totally sprinkle in some Eviscerators to deal with the tank problems. March over their burning hulls instead of having to alter the path of your glorious charge for the Emprah! If only I had another 100 Crusader models I'd totally use this list in a 2 vs. 2 game. I guess I could just proxy guardsmen though.

I thought that you still have to abide by the rules for what is still in the codex so no like 100 unique named characters. So no 100 Calgars or Old One Eyes. If you can't purchase a drop pod for Tyranid Warriors, then I don't think you can still buy them in Unbound. If it means you can, then it just makes 40K more fluffy because now you can pick and choose what is fluffy for your army.

If you need to win with plastic toy soldiers and try to abuse the hell out of it, I think there is more problems with that person, and he will need to look in the mirror and see what is wrong with himself and seek help.
I wasn't asking about Tyranid Warriors in Drop Pods. I was asking about Space Marine Terminators in drop pods. You know, like Space Wolves. What about empty drop pods, could I purchase those in unbound?
Thanks for immediately assuming I'm a mentally deranged jerk trying to topple my helpless local meta, though.

OH I am so sorry. That comment wasn't made at you. I meant that in general to the person who will be taking 10 hell drakes or what not that people are saying about. I took the statement out, since it seemed it was against you. It wasn't.

Certainly not. The assault terminators do not have an option to purchase a drop pod dedicated transport. I don't see how anything we have heard about Unbound so far would suggest otherwise.

This has no doubt been said in the ten pages of replies so far, but I would like my army to consist of CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
One. No HQ. No troops. No other vehicles, scouts, fliers, servo skulls, allies or anything else. Nothing to sully the purity of the single CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT army.
What is best in life?
To wound enemy units, see them driven from the table, and hear the lamentations of their player.

Two Inquisitors, naked but for the servo skulls that they bring along. The servo skulls fields such that the whole table is covered.
21 Company Command Squads. Each with a Master of Ordinance.
Two orders each, everyone is ordering themselves and everyone else to 'fire on my target'. That means we have 21 ignores cover basilisk shots that scatter only 1d6 instead of two.
