I am asking you dakkites or dakkanaughts or whatever to please recomend me not necessarily army but a build or something basically I want and army that 1) does not have any transports and negates that problem ethier via deepstrike or something else. 2) it must hit like a ton of brick in c&c 3) they have to be able to stik around. All you ho contribute and do not thank you for looking and please comment.

Barely understood that. I'm guessing your first language isn't english so thats okay. Perhaps a blood angels army with all assault marines would fit your description of no transports and hitting like a brick in combat or footslogging orks.

Tyranids can be cheap, but need alot of models for a horde. Nidzilla is kinda expenive too, but requires you to buy less.

Daemons. Get yourself some plaguebearers to hold objectives, fiends to shred vehicles and GEQ, princes, keeper of secrets, add your personal flavor. It's a fun army, if a bit random. If plaguebearers are too expensive as metal, search for a bloodletter to plaguebearers conversion on here-easy and looks great.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Failing that get a battleforce and order some jump packs from GW - that gives you the 20 guys. Swap the rhino for something.

in case you don't understand, he means that you can use BA as Vanilla Marines, or bikers and Assault Marines as SW, or DA, because they have Power Armour, and the correct weapons.

Daemons. All deep strike all the time, very strong in close combat, every unit has an invuln save, so they are generally very resistant.

Tyranids. Can go all deep strike, with some units aiding drops, like lictors and hive tyrants. Generally units are fearless, and monstrous creatures are tough to kill, and basically everything destroys in CC.

DOA Blood Angels. Assault marines as troops means the entire army can deepstrike, not to mention Storm Ravens and teleporting terminators. Everyone has and extra attack, and there are power weapons a plenty. FNP is easy to get, so the army is very resilient, not to mention the 3+.

Somewhere in the dark...

Deathwing, absolutely.

No transports needed. Can Deepstrike. Also, they have Deathwing Assault which is like Deepstrike +1. They hit hard in CC and can stick around a while thanks to all the storm shields you can (should?) take. Small amount of models which is good for the wallet, too but if you want to 'optimise' them, then you will have to be prepared to buy cyclone missile launchers from ebay or, more easily thewarstore.com but either way, they will be the most expensive part of your army.

Ork Kan Wall!

You get some 30-boy mobs, a pair of Big Meks with KFF and three Killa Kan units. You use the KFF to obscure the Kans and the Kans to give the boyz cover saves. Everything in your ary has nice saves, you have no transports, you get nice ranged anti-tank with the kans and the boyz are just deadly in CC, as you might already know. If you have some points left, you can always add some Lootas for ranged firepower or a couple Deff Dreads for more CC goodness (each Big Mek lets you take one as a troops choice). It's a very fun and strong build. I'm sure you'll love it. For a reason it's my favorite ork build!

Easiest is Space Marines, probably the Space Wolves or Blood Angels to stay in line with what you were after in the first post.

Out of all the reccomendations, any of the marines would probably be easiest to play (GK's, DOA Blood angels, Deathwing-all terminator Dark Angels-or Black Templars) or the foot slogging Orc Options (Green Tide/Kan Wall).

Well, Kan Wall is quite simple, just walk to the enemy letting down a hall of fire until you're close enough to get on their faces (even with shootas, the orks can still dish out a world of pain in CC). As I said earlier, they're also quite tought, with all those cover saves. If you're into painting and/or modeling, you'll love the models, as they let you have a ton of fun with conversions and paintjobs.

GK terminator spam.

10 termies with mostly halberds, 2 psycannons, a couple of hammers and a banner.

475pts per unit.

It's probably going to win more often than it loses.

Later on and at higher point totals, add interceptor squads.

If the new rule rumors are even half true then this will describe them perfectly, although they do have a transport(but it doesn't have to transport them)
