The title says it all really, so go ahead. Think up the most gimped, sucky, and just overall terrible list possible. Best (or worst, depends how you look at it ) list idea wins a cookie!

I was thinking something along the lines of nilla marines with 3xtechmarine units with max servitors with servoarms who run up to you and smack you with 1 PF attack per guy. FEAR ME!! Then some overpriced jack of all trades devastators with heavy bolter, missile launcher, lascannon, and plasma cannon so they can fulfil any role you need them to. Fill out the points with 10 man scout squads equipped in the following way: 2xshotgun, 2xCCW+bolt pistol, 2xsniper, 2xboltgun, sarge with PF and missile launcher dude. They're so versatile! Fill it out with a master of the forge as your HQ with 5man CC servitor retinue.

My servitors will smack you in CC, my scouts will converge on objectives while giving covering fire on the move with their various BS3 weaponry, and my devastators fill any niche required, as they can adapt to any situation. Good luck making a more versatile and competitive list

Been through this before and it's quite simple: Naked Chaos Lord, two 5-man CSM squads with no icons and lots and lots of Lesser Daemons who can never enter play

hahahaha oh god I should have thought of that. Don't you think the lord is a bit OP though? I'm not sure my servitors can take him on...

Nah, he ain't eternal warrior so s8 fists trounce him.
You might want to give the lord a power fist though, we don't want him to go about killing inoccent servitors before they can strike.

Also, for the space marine list you should add a full unit of foot-slogging vanguard veterans...with dual storm shields!

How about:
Aun'va
Shas'El + 2 bodyguards
3 Shas'ui XV-8 X 3
6 man fire warrior squads with photon grenades and carbines
8 man drone squads
no heavy support
all suit have multi-tracker, target lock and blacksun filter

the most close combat only army the tau can have. Highest S is 5, though when Aun'va dies your army gets preffered enemy .

Smerfs ...
HQ) Marneus Calgar
Troop)Six, five man Scouts with combat knives +2 Powerfists (was tempted buy a pair of plasma pistols)
Elites) 5 stern guard, sargent swaps his bolter for a chainsword every one else takes stormbolters. Razorback with Heavy flamers, stormbolters, HK and dozerblade.
Heavy) Three Thunder fire cannon in drop pods + 15 servitors (yes that does mean they'll be mind locked and unable to do any thing)
...1850pts that doesn't work

No scoring units, no real strength, just all out useless units.

Tyranid army with the Parasite of Mortrex and a whole bunch of ripper swarms. No scoring units and the troops start losing wounds if the swarm's only synapse creature tries to use its mobility. Parasite can be killed instantly by a krak missile or marine power fist.

This is true to...

How about a five man assault squad with a sargent who has four lightning claws, and yes, he can get four for all the good it'll do him.

for a useless list, lets see if 2 Warphead Weird boys can use 180 grots and 2 armored but armless looted wagons to win the day! (the more I think about it, the more I think maybe this could work for objective grab)

If you're using codex space marines make sure to have Chronus driving a rhino.
Because, you know, that's an effective use of points.

Here is the previous threat for all of those interested.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/305024.page#1741629

The end result was a 2000 pt battle between SW (Logan and 20 dual shield Wolf guard with half jump packs) vs. DE (Tons of small squads with lots of useless equipment, 15 webway portals.)

The worst list is the CSM Lesser demon spam.

Other ideas from the other thread:
BA: Huge Death company squad, play the rage game.
ORKS: Take the Mad Doc and upgrade gretichin with a 5++ save for a total of 8pts a model.
NIDS: Ripper Bases that hurt themselves. Only one Synapse creature.

Without a specific point value this thread is kinda pointless I think as there is no standard of comparison.

I see your Lesser Daemon spam and raise you with:

1x Daemon Prince with Gift of Chaos
2x Thousand Suns Squad (Aspiring Champion with Gift of Chaos, 4x Thousand Suns)
12x Chaos Spawn Units
(3x Spawn)
1x Chaos Spawn Unit
(1x Spawn)

2000pts, baby!

@Jack I like yours That list would be teeeeeeerrrrrrible.

Replace Thraka with a pair of Weirdboyz (not Warp'eadz, Weirdboyz) and swap out the Stormboyz for Zzap Guns. Now you're playing with fire.

Gretchin do not a bad army make. Yes one on one they are bad, but they are resonably priced. You can flood the field and then win every objective game. They will also do much more damage than you expect with BS3 S3 guns. Bad but not the worst. Mad doc and Gretchin makes the cybergrots 8 pts each. That is a price that makes the T2 some of the worst stuff around.

Space wolves at 2000 points.
HQ: Logan: 275

Troop: 10 x wolfguard. Each one has 2x Storm shields. 9 have meltabombs. 5 of the squad have jump packs. 850 pts.
Troop: 10 x wolfguard. Each one has 2x Storm shields. 9 have meltabombs. 6 of the squad have jump packs. 875 pts.

21 MEQ bodies on the field who all have to walk. 2 attacks each with countercharge. Against gretchin one of the wolf guard squads would have to kill 6 squads of 33 gretchin and even then would still be down by 150 pts.

Chaos Space Marine Army at 1,000,000 pts.

HQ: Chaos Lord. 90 pts

Troop: Chaos Space Marines x5 75 pts.

Troop: Chaos Space Marines x5 75 pts.

Troop: 3845 units of 20 lesser demons. 999,700 pts.

There is no other army that you can write that has 1,000,000 pts of stuff that can lose to this army. Most armies can not even make army lists that large on the Standard FOC.

worst possable list for T'au

Space pope.

Shas'o with maxed Bodyguards with 3 Burst cannons each. and maxed out wargear.
