I-bounty-hunt-the-elderly wrote:Like people have said, take an imperial guard army full of conscripts, but with out any weapon upgrades whatsoever. Use FW models: renegades, death korps, elysians, makes no difference.

CCS: 50

Platoon (x6)
PCS:30 (180)
20 Infantry: 100 (600)
50 Conscripts: 200 (1200)

That's 2030 points. Take away 10 conscripts, 1990. 445 men.

Based on the ten-man kits for each FW IG line:
Elysians, £35.25 x 44.5= £1568.63
Krieg, £34.25 x 44.5= £1523.13
Vraks Renegades, £10.25 (conversion kit, so add £18 for 10 cadians) £28.25 x 44.5= £1257.13

So, I think there can't be many armies more ridiculous than Elysians. Maybe someone could calculate the cost of 2000 points of wraithguard?

Laidies and gentelmen, we have found the $2,500 2000 point army!

How about SOLID GOLD SPACE MARIENS?

The Gold Space Marines are Super Secret Special. Only Cool People can play Gold Space Marines. That's why we don't sell Gold Space Marines, because they are special. To unlock Gold Space Marines you must win five Grand Tournaments using Orks, Tau, Swordwind Space Elfs, Thousand Sons and Kroot. In that order. Then we will give you a Special Army Box with Gold Space Marines and a Special Codex written on unphotocopyable paper. Then everyone will know you are a Cool Person Who Can Play Gold Space Marines.

Umm, Orks are cheap, especially if you abuse the Aobr, ESPECIALLY if someone you know plays space marines and can split the cost with you.

You see the majority of people who post on YTTH hurts always seem to agree with EVERYTHING he says. I post there sometimes and frequently lurk but I dont think Orks are a crap army, I think there anti-tank isnt amazing but there still a great army.

They also (Without having any idea what there talking about) Make silly ideas up like Orks are REALY expensive.

umm there are 2 items in the title of the thread...

Proof ork players only hear what they want to hear about their army.

Marneus Calgar with 3 maxium Honour Guard squads with full upgrades
Chapter Master with full Honour Guard squad
6 maxium Scout Sniper Squads, one with Telion
All with Drop Pods or Rhinos (they can't take?)
2x 10-man Assault Terminator Squads
1 with Land Raider
1x 10-man Terminator Squad
with Land Raider
3x 10-man Bike Squads
3x Land Raiders

That would be fun to buy in one piece

I've found a solution to having to constantly justify the usefulness of the ork codex to Timmah. I'm going to ignore his comments. He ignores our endless mathhammer and army lists to show him that the orks can deal with most any situation including the laughable LR spam so I figure its only fair.

Im not an Ork player and Orks aint a stupid army.

Why dont you like Orks? Cause they aint got meltas? Not enough reliable anti-tank?

Still a great army to play with quite a few decent competitive builds.

EDIT: Orks have some of the greatest fluff in the game and fluffest armies.
