Nob Bikers? big choppa/PK, painboy, waaagh banner, cybork bodies.

4+ armor, 4+cover, 5+ invuln, FNP, 12" movement, assault 3 guns that are twin linked, Weapon Skill of 5, and a lot of high strength hits....

You're also talking 300 points or more for even a small squad, which can still be killed pretty quickly by a Demolisher or anything else woth S10. They're awesome, I love 'em, but they're certainly not the most OP thing in the GW universe by a long shot.

Broadsides.


They kill everything. EVERYTHING.

Necron Overlord on Command Barge with 3+ invul, warscythe and MMS.

Gah i hate that unit with a passion.

MSS - I despise these. They encapsulate my entire hatred towards necrons.

Whatever game designer thought it would be fun for players to kill themselves, or to not let their close combat beat sticks even a chance to attack (like assault isn't hard enough these days) ....Cough *m a t .....w. a. r. d* Cough. End Rant.

Honorable mention to doomscythes, but they are not so bad now that i have some AA of my own, I am not running any mech, and they can't shoot backwards.

Thanks to a single doomscythe which in 2 turns killed 778 points of my 1500 point army. Handing me my worst defeat and most demoralising loss ever. 0 fun things happened in that game:

If you want to relive my hell.

MSS wouldn't be too bad if they were expensive or could only be taken by a unique character or maybe just overlords. But they cost no more than a powerfist and you can feasibly get 12 of them in a medium sized game.

I would argue against the farsight bomb being overpowered - yes it can dish out ridiculous damage, but so can most other 800 pt units.... I'd hope a unit consisting of half my army would be able to make a dent lol.

My vote goes to the helldrake, the thing is just too cost effective.

Vote for riptide it's the cost of about 5 tooled up terminators can drastically affect the game from turn one until it dies...

Wait, what? That's at least 700 points, without taking any other upgrade.
You would need at least the 2+ save and a Warscythe on those models.
Also a Resurrection Orb or two and that brings the entire list to almost 1100 points.
It's only 'feasible' to take that many when you are playing a RCDI-list and those lists are 'bad'.

Wraithwings have a D-Lord with MSS and they have two or three.
Other lists bring a maximum of 3 and those Lords are usually attached to Warriors-blobs to prevent them from being a free kill.

I wished five tooled-up terminators only cost as much as a riptide (180-185 for the riptide versus 235 for 5 tactical termies with a heavy weapon).

My vote goes to Imotekh, especially with two royal courts and the re-roll granting crypteks. A mere three models that have to literally do nothing more than stay alive but can dramatically impact the flow of the game for the first 3-4 turns is, IMO, the epitome of OP.

How often do you actually see them on more than 1-2 models? If you see them on anything Except Overlords And/Or Destroyer Lords, you should be pretty happy, as that means they likely dumped a ton of points into their 1W Lords.

Normal lords only have 1 wound?
Sonofabitch. That cost me a game. Okay, Necrons are not as bad as I thought.

think the sanguinor is pretty overpowered

Once I played against someone using the 10 nob unit from WD. It wasn't very fun...

Hellturkeys and as a slightly distant second Blastmasters.
