Preface - I started screwing around with fun list ideas and just decided to see how big of any army i could get and possibly still win. Here is the result

CCS; LC, Banner = 85

Commissar Yarrick = 185

1st Platoon
PCS = 30
5x PIS no upgrades = 250
Conscripts x30 = 120

2nd Platoon
PCS = 30
5x PIS no upgrades = 250
Conscripts x20 = 80

3rd Platoon
PCS = 30
5x PIS no upgrades = 250
Conscripts x20 = 80

4th Platoon
PCS = 30
4x PIS no upgrades = 200
Conscripts x20 = 80

Leman Russ Battle Tank #1 = 150

Leman Russ Battle Tank #2 = 150

Okay, so lets see that's 2000 points and... I have 210 normal guardsmen, 90 conscripts, 2 LRBT, a CCS with a banner for LD Rerolls, and Commissar "freaking" Yarrick for a 50-man fearless blob and he gives his Ld to all units with at least 1 model within 6". Not the most competitive army but who thinks 300 lasguns FRFSRF//Rapid-Firing wouldn't be amazing to watch? I mean, with the CCS and 4 PCS thats 6 FRFSRF orders and with Yarrick most are rolling at Ld 10.... anyways... i think i might have to pull out all my old cadians and catachans and see if I have the models (playing vostroyans now).

Anyways, I know its beatable... easily, but how fun would it be to play/face?

the sheer amount of dice rolls = victory lol, i mean at it's core it's a game of luck and if you roll enough you will roll good, and you will definitely be rolling lots. So i think your chances are good

if i saw that army in front of me i would gak my pnts and be like...crap, where the hell do i start to try and take these guys???

I've had a single assault marine sergeant survive a PIS and Yarrick shooting, and he survived for three turns of combat. (Last edition. I'm not even joking)

Wouldn't it be a better idea to drop the LRBTs and spend those 300 points upgrading units? That'll be, say, 10 AC and 10 LC you can stick somewhere.

The main issue here is none of these units can kill anything with an armor value Sure you have a Billion and a half units and 10 trillion wounds but they are mech spam they just have to hit your front rank with tank shock and half will run then they do it again next turn.

Also if I had to sit through your deployment and movement phases I'd either puch you in the face or get up and walk away from the table after I let you deploy first.

I'd refuse to fight this list. Not only would it take you 45 minutes to set up, but it be steam rolled due to lack of any threat.

CCS; LC, Banner = 85

1st Platoon
PCS = 30
5x PIS no upgrades = 250
2x Heavy Weapons Squad w/ ML = 180

2nd Platoon
PCS = 30
5x PIS no upgrades = 250
2x Heavy Weapons Squad w/ ML = 180

3rd Platoon
PCS = 30
5x PIS no upgrades = 250
2x Heavy Weapons Squad w/ ML = 180

4th Platoon
PCS = 30
4x PIS no upgrades = 200

Leman Russ Battle Tank #1 = 150

Leman Russ Battle Tank #2 = 150

Okay, now lets try version 2.0. This time we dropped all of the conscripts and Yarrick. We still have the 210 basic guardsmen but now they are supported by 6 heavy weapon ML teams (that's 18 Missile Launchers!). The list still has an insanely large number of infantry but now capable of dropping 2 battle cannons and 18 missiles to deal with mech.

I think you'd get better results if you drop some of those naked infantry squads, and instead upgrade to chenkov and SITNW on the conscripts. That way, you have useless expendable guardsmen that never ever can be killed off, keep coming back, and more importantly, will allow you to fit your entire army into your deployment.

Also, you need something to crack those metal boxes. I suggest stormtroopers, since this list seems to be trying to throw down as many guardsmen as humanly possible.

To be honest if that's your goal, drop the leman russes and just add something like 30 autocannons instead

Put power axes in the units.ap 2 weapons in blob squads op.

For shots and giggles take a 50 man conscript blob and have cpt. Chekernov use send in the next wave ..... Troll army

I'll see your 210 guardsmen, and raise you 3 monoliths lol
The only thing i can see you struggling against would be AV14, TEQ or Flyer lists.

I would love to fight against this list.

I hope you have movement trays....

I cant imagine trying to find space to deploy all of this. I sometimes run lists with 100+ guys just for fun, and start running out of room! Bad news for deepstrikers and drop pods i guess, as theyll have to land in front of 200+ guardsmen!
