no, 30 death company, each with 2 thunder hammers, led by Lemartes- 3000 pts. Can be killed by a lash prince and vindicator =less than 300 pts!

AFAIK An'ggrath is neither a lash prince or a vindicator...

But he DOES destroy either of those two things.

T8 W8 WS10 S10 is a bit of a issue.

Oh and you're not going to get to shoot him because he can move 24" in the movement phase, with the ability to run in the shooting phase and assault 6"

He showed up in a recent apoc battle I played in. He didn't notice the squads of Wraithguard and Fire Dragons hiding in a ruin, and thus went down to a single turn of shooting. We were all decidedly unimpressed.

With a lucky round of shooting, 5 FW can potentially kill a ten strong TH/SS termie squad in rapid fire range.

Means nothing. His stats actually could not be higher.

Best one had to be from the new codex for DE. Starts out with Rakarth and three normal haemonculi and the webway assault strategem (yes apoc game). Then I took 3 maxed out squads of grotesques that's 3 x 10 30 guys. They all got the +1S from Rakarth and then I put them in the Carnival of Pain data sheet...so now they have combat drugs that can stack. Pregame roll was +1 S Thats now base S7 Furious Charging meat monsters with 3 wounds FNP and 4 attacks...oh and the sgt upgrade with scissorhands for the extra attack. Carnival of Pain says you roll every turn on the drug table and that effect stacks for this turn/game turn (not sure which). The turn they roll out they have another +1 S. So now we are at 40-50 S8 swings (9 on the charge yeah 50 S 9 swings booyeah!) A baneblade company and the nearby masters of the chapter got ripped up. I believe they went on to take out another 2 land raiders, and 3 tac squads before the first went beserk killing off the second...oh well they are fun but 1200+ points is not competive in any army.

Gargantuan creatures are immune to all kinds of gak.

I made a list for my brother as a serious, "This is what Ultra Marines can do for lawls"

Marneus with term armor, then for good measure throw in 30 honor guard with relic blades in rhinos. To get Troops, 2 squads of 5 lol.

Blitzkrieg of blue 4tw.

Also as the good book puts it, "I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve."

I frequently use a Lemun Russ with Plasma EVERYTHING, all the while running a Command Squad with Strakken with a kitted out command squad. Do I go for the biggest guy on the board? Hell no, I go whoop up on some troops and shoot the hell out of that 200 some point HQ unit my brothers are rolling around with.

And letting Pask sit out in the open when there is a vanquisher out there......why???? Sit back in cover and dare their troops to get near you and your 5 plasma AP 2 plates

One thing I do is run a list where everything has an av, except the 1+ crisis commander who I kit out as a suicide unit.

I have Piranha TX42s to replace my crisis suits, since they have the same weapons.

I use 2x Railheads and a skyray for HS

I use min troops requirements, with warfishes.

Old codex Witchhunters Inquisitor Lord. MC Eviscerator Inferno pistol, Psychic Hood, Divine Pronouncement, Hammer of witches, Liber Heresius, digital Weapons and frag grenades and a bucket load of acolytes with PA and mancatchers, warriors, sages medics, and Familiars. Somewhere in the range of 340 points. He specialised in killing solitary HQs and bullying smaller units.

I played an Apoc Game where I had Lysander, Vulkan, Terminator-Armored Captain, another Captain, a Librarian, and a Command Squad all packing power fists, meltaguns and storm shields in a drop pod. Was a hilarious death-ball that nicely complemented the 10-Chapter Master "Tactical Squad" and the 4-Jump Captain "Assault Squad" I also ran. Came out to around 4000 points or so. Twas a silly game.

Genuine lol

My Wolf Scouts and a Outflanking Wolf Priest nearly tabled a Guard army that on first turn blew my Foot slogging list out into the sky in pieces.

It was such a blood bath that a whole blob was held back by the Wolf Priest alone. This was including Commisars and power fist baring sarges.

When you see him wipe out a 100 strong apoc formation ork mob led by a warboss and countless nobz, and walk away with only 1 wound on him, you tend to be quickly impressed.

3.5 Chaos Lords could get quite a few upgrades. I'll try find the most expensive when I get home.

I keep wanting to run a unit of Khorne Terminator Champions with twin Lightning Claws (and a chainfist or two thrown in for good measure), but it has two serious problems: not being able to get into a land raider with any serious numbers, and being inferior to TH/SS Terminators in almost every way (except number of attacks).

I think a 50 man power blob for impy guard with plasmapistols and powerweapons on the sarges then with 5 commissars with power weapons and plasma pistols, also 5 guardsmen with plasmaguns, that would be hilarious, That's 700 points of pure gold right there. Beat that!

Chaos bikers are just to expensive pointswise (and not cheap model wise too). Otherwise, I might be tempted to try out a big squad of 10 chaos bikers with Mark of Nurgle, with the most expensive upgrades I can buy.

Its toughness 6 CSM bikers who can turboboost. Sounds like fun.

Necrons can also create some ridiculous units with their royal courts if you take all upgrades. I mean, imagine 2 necron overlords, full upgrades, plus a royal court of 5 lords and 5 crypteks, also with full upgrades. lol

Once saw one of those blasted off the edge of the table with Scatter Shot shotguns. It was SO funny!

See fun for all!

Uhh, I don't know if this counts or not, but I used to run Al'rahem with two 20-man power blobs. Because they were in the same platoon, I always had the option of keeping them as one huge blob, which I never did... until a KP game I played once.

42 models, 88 attacks on the charge, 370 points of outflanking madness.

More to the point, apart from the tactical sense it made, there was a part of me that was definitely thinking "I should outflank a 42 model squad... because I can".

So the ridiculously expensive unit did what it's supposed to do? *le gasp*

As far as regular 40K goes I have outflanked a maxed out Al'Rahem platoon with 9 lascannons, 6 Heavy Bolters, 10 Plasmaguns, and a blob of 50 guardsmen toting 5 flamers with 5 Commissars and 10 power weapons. All the 50 man blob really accomplishes is it creates a CC mosh pit that eventually sucks in both entire armies. It is quite a beautiful sight.

Against the many orks? It could go either way, but him leaving it with 7W left is just spitting in the ork players face.

Mainly a fully kitted out devilfish with a squad of pathfinders is the most OTT I go on most games, but they usually don't survive long enough with their short range markerlights.

30 Death Company with Jump Packs. Every single guy armed with a Power Weapon and 6 Hand Flamers in the Squad.

Second would be an 11 Land Raider strong formation.

Lastly would be 11 Dreadnoughts all inside Drop Pods.

When did 30" become short ranged?

Oh for OTT...sometimes I bring two mantas, with every single lower space filled with broadsides and the top with kroot for one, and the other with the full maximum 188 FW compliment.

My thoughts too..

Markerlights are 36", same as the basic 'standard' among long range weapons.
