Wychs and Bloodbrides. 15 man wych squad is 4 PW attacks that wound on 4+ regardless, 3 hydras can net you up to an extra 18 attacks every round, Init 6, can get FnP and FC, and with the right drug roll, they can be S5 on the charge, have another attack each, increased WS for easier hitting, wound reroll. all for 10 pts each.... or 13 pts each as Bloodbrides. if you get some decent rolls for drugs and hydras, those 10 Init 6 bloodbrides or the 15 Init 6 wyches can toss out 70+ attacks before most other units even get to swing.... sorry, I may not have a high strength normally, but with 70 attacks, im bound to cause ALOT of wounds just through statistics.....

On the charge:
16 S4 I6 PW attacks
10 S3 PW attacks
15 S5 WS5 attacks

T3 stinks, but there are 5 stormshields and it's not bad for 180 points. You can also mount them up in a Chimera or a Rhino(with Fortitude).

10 BT terminators, 5 with TH/SS and 5 with lightning claws With the +1 strenth vow (S10 termies!), 3++ to land wounds on amd and lC's to land wounds before the enemy attack AND S10 hitting the survivors int the face, rerolling failedhts as well.

That is a whole lot of close combat nasty.

you can't take 2 vows, either +1 str or preferred enemy and it doesn't stack with FC

To get it right Furious charge, 5 LC, Accept Any Challenge vow

Re rolling failed hits and wounds, I5, S5 on the charge, scary

Going to have to go with Black Templar Terminators. Not only do the get Perferd Enemy thanks to the Emperors Champion, they can also get Furious Charge as an upgrade, making them all that nastier in CC. A Squad of 7x w/5x Lightning Claws and 2x w/Thunder Hammers & Storm Shields lead by a Chaplian does a lot of hurt, even more so with the Black Templars being fixed when it comes to certain items and point costs.

Just curious, why would you run the Chaplain in there? They already have rerolls thanks to the Champion and LCs. Go for a TH/SS termie marshal with adamantine mantle IMO. That'll show the filthy xenoes and the ones who question our loyalty!

I second that one, Daemonettes can be horrible in close combat! especially if you get a bunch of rends!

Maxed out platoon of Commissars and Sergeants with power weapons. The front line gets 30 power attacks on the charge with 45 wounds to mow through before you start to get into the power weapons.

And if you're talking DKoK, those power attacks are Power fists.
Sure, it's 625 points, but who cares?

Harliquins.... for sure

Also what about a Destroyer lord w/ orb and warsytch in a squad of wraiths? Thats alot of killing on the charge.

Also an squad of TH/SS Termies w/ Lysander in it.

Does 2 Deamon Princes w/ MoN wings and Warptime count as a unit? Yes they do. The HQ unit.

Can't beat Necrons w/ CSM?

Take 2 squads of Nurgle possesed Swooping hawks and haywire both Monoliths turn 1.

Can't fail. Then charge nightbringer with a possesed Lysander w/ MoN.

Just got to think outside the box bro.

Feasting on the souls of unworthy opponents

I'd comfortably throw my Necron Wraiths at anything I've seen in here.

9 wraiths, STR6 I6, with a 3+ invulnerable save, a 4+ WBB, a second 4+ WBB if the first one fails, getting support from a Necron Lord who bypasses Armour and Invul saves...

They teleport out of combat every Necron turn so that they can charge back in.

So scout them, and then reserve them, that means they can flank? Interesting. Did not know that.
