Nid

Parasite of Mortrex
3x hive guards

8 x rippers swarm (spinefist, toxin sac, ad gland)

Troops 100
Chaos Cultists x10 50
Chaos Cultists x10 50

Fast Attack 340
Heldrake with Baleflamer 170

Tyranids
Flyrant (2x twin devourers) -260 - $90
Tervigon (scything talons, toxin sacs, phychic power) - 190 - $96
Termagants (10) - 50 - $48

*snip*
My thoughts exactly. However, if we're talking USD as your flag indicates, then those prices are WAY off.

Lol, yeah. It looks like a really scary list. The prices are Australian. I live in Australia. No idea why i have the American flag next to my posts

This one I call The Cavalry

500pts
Lord Commissar w/ camo cloak 80pts

Vet Squad (70pts) in Valkyrie W/ rocket pods and door bolters (140pts)
Vet Squad (70pts) in Vendetta W/ door bolters (140pts)


Turn 1. Place Lord Commissar in cover
Turn 2. Roll for reserves...

I'm fairly sure this is the most infantry you can get for IG at 500pts-

CCS-

PCS-

Infantry Squad-

Infantry Squad-

47 Conscripts-

PCS-

Infantry Squad-

Infantry Squad-

Which is 102 models Not sure if scary, just a lot of bodies

I haven't seen any GK represented so far, so I'll throw in my 2 bits:

Coteaz (100)

6x Warriors (24)
2x Crusaders, 3x DCA (75)

10x Purgation Squad, 4psycannons, psybolts (300)

Total 499

In a small game, having a single unit that can shoot but not be shot is pretty game-breaking.
If Coteaz gets Ignores Cover, this unit is stupidly good.
DCA/Crusaders will guard the Purgators; Warriors in Reserve

Keep them coming

Dat bump....

100: Farseer
130: 10 Dire Avengers
130: 10 Dire Avengers
70: War Walker w/ scatter laser/starcannon
70: War Walker w/ bright lance/bright lance

Tau

Eth 50
Riptide , Ion 185
FWx7 63
FWx8 72
Railhead , Subs 130

500Pts

or (not sure how effective)

eth
3x6 FW
2x Razorshark fighters

Would a Imp Guard with two Leman Russes be scary? good?

Tau (500)

Ethereal (50)

Fire warrior w/ pulse rifle x7 (63)
Fire warrior w/ pulse rifle x7 (63)

Xv-104 Riptide (195)
Ion accelerator
Tw SMS
EWO
CDS

Pathfinder x4 w/ pulse carbine & ML (44)

XV88 Broadside (85)
Tw Rail rifle
Tw SMS
Velocity tracker

This comes in at exactly 500 points

HQ:
-Librarian w/Terminator Armour

Troops
-5 Scouts

-5 Scouts

Heavy Support
-Thunderfire Cannon

-Thunderfire Cannon

-Thunderfire Cannon

This is fun

Nasty if played right... Its impossible to make 500points of DE nasty. So here it is:

4x9 wyches
2 raiders
1 beastmaster with khymera

Try this

Inquisitor

5 accolytes
Landraider crusader
Psy-bolts

3 psykers
Razorback
Psybolts, assault cannon

3 psykers
Razorback
Psybolts, assault cannon

500pts

2 st 5 ap 4 36" range large blasts, 12 tl st7 ap4 rending shots, 12 tl st 5 ap 5 shots. 3 tanks, 1 a raider.
I doubt I have ever seen a 500pt list with the AT to take that list down. Land raider list usually struggle at horde control too, this will decimate horde!

This was a pretty old thread, just saying.

Haha yeh didnt notice that when it popped up on the forum...

Interesting idea, not sure if this would actually work or not. Super weak troop choice, and flyers arent very strong either. This is either a blow-away your enemy list or get annihilated yourself. All or nothing.

Warphead
15 grots w/ runtherd
Dakkajet w/ 3rd supa shoota
Dakkajet w/ 3rd supa shoota

500 even

One of the scariest 500pt lists is Armoued Battlegroup, 1 Salamander Command and 3 troop Thunderers. Leaves 5 points for a bs upgrade and gives you 3 Demolisher cannons on AV14 platforms. Also scary is a Caestus Assault Ram at 500 because even the lists that can handle a flyer can't deal with one that has AV13. Also, automatic strength 10 ram with reroll and large blast melta. You even have room for some minor weapon upgrades!
