So, its that time of the year again! No not the holdiday season!!!!

It's time for...OUTRAGEOUS, the epic way of mashing 3000 Points worth of units into a list, an absoulutely absurd list that would have little practical value against normal lists, but significant value against another three similar lists.

O.K. now. Every year me and my friends are tasked with coming up with the most insane out-of-the-box army we can come up with, and is fielded in the 3000ish points range(we played 4k per army last year). It follows apocalypse ruling, meaning Force Organization is out the window, aside from HQ and 2 troops. The race is on, and I need to come up with two lists this year, (one for nids, and one for marines). Apocalyptic units CANNOT be used, unless stated (this year we cannot). These lists feature things from entire armies of Special Characters, to a gabillion trukks...

This year i'm asking for help, for those of you owning a 5th edition Space Marines codex (many do), or a 5th edition Tyranids codex, I'm asking your help in coming up with one of the craziest lists you can come up with. Effective or not, it doesn't matter... 3000-4000 Points, 6 Special Characters at the most. Please state your number of total points in compiled list...

**MechaEmperor7000**

Would variant space Marine codexes be ok? and can we post more than one list?

**Footsloggin**

MechaEmperor7000 wrote:Would variant space Marine codexes be ok? and can we post more than one list?

Yes to both, Proxying is VERY common in this game... BUT, it must stay within one codex...

**MechaEmperor7000**

Death Company bash:

HQ:

Astorath the Grim, Mephiston

Troops:

25 Death Company, Jump packs, Power Weapon, one Thunder Hammer (2 of this squad)

Total: 3000 points exactly. Add 10 more Jump Pack and Power Weapon equipped Death Company to each squad (so 20 more in total) for a 4000 point list.

Tyranids:

2 squads of min Termagants and fill out the rest with Tervigons equipped with whatever you like.

**purplefood**

Master of the Forge.
Conversion beamer.
120 points.

Then have 25 vindicators.
2875 points.

Overall:2995

Enough points left over to give the MotF a storm bolter.

This was done one year. We spend more time laughing over the armies we field, and the near insane results gained... My carnifexes managed to down 7 before they were gobbled up under the power of 18 remaining S10 AP2 blasts... They also blew up two of their vindicators this way......

Yeah... i like explosions the more unpredictable the better.
You could also have this:
Pedro Kantor 175 points
Librarian
Terminator Armour-125 points
18 5 man Sternguard squads equipped with your choice of combi-melta/flamer/plasma

Sternguard was what I was thinking this year... them, or Scout Bikers... And a firebase of thuderfire cannons...

And to the above, I could imagine the number of FnP I could be passing around!

**candy.man**

I reckon (5xTH/SS Terminators+ Land Raider) x 5 + Vulkan + mandatory 2 troops.

**MechaEmperor7000**

If your opponent runs alot of tanks, then Lysander, Vulkan, and TH/SS Terminators out the wazoo. Not exactly practical or effective, but sure to be hell of a time.

**Cantus**

Minimum HQ, troops
+ 20 dreadnoughts with whatever you want. Drop pods optional.

**timetowaste85**

All Vanguard Vets from Blood Angels, so that they benefit from DoA. Most with power weapons, one with a thunder hammer per squad, all with jump packs. If you HAVE to have troops and HQ...Add a Reclusiarch to a 5 man unit of Death Company and add in a DC dreadnaught.

**AlmightyWalrus**

Aww, no Templars? But I was gonna suggest the Terminator Armour Marshal who can legally take a jump pack, if only to persuade someone to make a model of it!

**Nulipuli2**

15 Mawlocs with Adrenal Glands and Regenaration 2925
1 Zoanthrope 60
Total: 2985
add in 6 deathleaper for a nice 4k game

**MechaEmperor7000**

Deathleaper is marked as Unique, so I think you can only take one of him no matter what type of game you're playing. =x

**Nulipuli2**

MechaEmperor7000 wrote:Deathleaper is marked as Unique, so I think you can only take one of him no matter what type of game you're playing. =x

He said 6 special characters at the most

**MechaEmperor7000**

I think he meant different special characters. As far as I know you cant take 6 Abaddons or 6 Mephistons even in apocalypse. =x

**Mr Nobody**

Make your entire 3000 points made up of Tyranid gaunts, you would litterly cover every inch of the board.

**Perkustin**

All dreadnoughts would be cool. An army of ancients.

**PraetorDave**

Scouts. Sgt with powerfist. LSS with MM. As many as possible.

Bring a boom box and play "ride of the Valkyries" by wagner.

**Gibbsey**

HQ
tyranid prime 80pts

Troops
584 termagants 2920 pts

144 25mm bases = 1 sq foot

4.05 sq foot total (not including prime)

so a 6X4 table you would take up over 1/6 of the board 0_0

You can spread them 2" apart.
Basically 3/6 of the board instead.
Still that's a lot.

so over half the board (about 3.3/6?) i was thinking bunched together for deployment then spread out afterwards

you could always go the 18 tervigon + 2x 12 termagants way, not as many termagants overall but 10.5 per turn per tervigon with a 40% chance to not apawn any more for the rest of the game for each tervigon.

thats an average of 189 first turn (40% less each turn after so 189 => 113.4 => 68.04 => 40.824 => 24.4944)

and anyway who doesent want to roll 54 dice to see how many termagants they get

**pratell**

HQ
Runepriest w/ terminator armor

Troops
25 5x Grey Hunters w/ meltaguns & drop pods

2995 pts
151 models

drop pod unfolded is a footprint of what, 10-12 inches? you could corral your opponent, make words, create (porno)graphic images.

too bad you can't use them like in Dawn of War, where they cause damage when you drop them on the enemy :p

i also like praetordave's suggestion.

**Element206**

how aobut 4000 pts of tactical squads....could you imagine what that would look like on the battle field!

**purplefood**

If normal restirctions don't apply then you could always take
28 rune priests
2x 5 man grey hunter squads
though the leader of the pack thing may stop that

**Gibbsey**

1 Necron lord + 2 x 10 warriors 480pts (*sigh*)

+ 9 warriors 162 pts (mix with 2 other squads)

10 monoliths 2350pts

2992 pts

Just keep the lord and warriors back and send a line of monoliths across the board

(and hope they cant deepstrike/infiltrate

)

or you could just have a giant circle of monoliths around your lord and warriors......

Go ahead, make a list, I'll take the army restriction off, considering the fact that we have almost all of the codexes... GO AHEAD, GO WILD!!!

You know he can just house rule something that allows you to take 6 of the same special Character. And this is supposed to be outrageous
