I can't but help to notice that a lot of lists for each race are all very similar, with only small variations. So I have decided to set everyone a little challenge. Simply make a list according to the rules of each race, but try to make it competitive. There isn't a points limit (don't go mad with power, keep it normal). Don't feel too limited, you can set yourself challenges as well if you think that they are good. Infact, feel free to set everyone challenge lists yourself. Feel free to throw forgeworld stuff in there.

Necrons- A close combat list, BUT NO WRAITHS. Scarab farm will be booed.
- Make a list that is just full of disruption, tremorstaves, solar pulses, writhing worldscapes, anything that can disrupt. Bonus points for making you opponent go blind with rage.
Dark eldar - FOOTDELDAR (someone come up with a better name) No raiders or venoms, everyone has gotta work on foot.
Orks - Didn't really know what to do with this one other than tell you to take units that aren't regularly taken. Fill your list with flash gitz, weirdboys, tankbustas, commandos, deffkoptas and anything else rarely seen.
Imperial Guard - NO TANKS
- NO INFANTRY ON FOOT (as in they cannot get out until the last turn)
- NUCLEAR WARFARE (ifyouknowwhatimean)
Chaos- No 3+ armour anywhere. Yup. Helldrake spam will be massively frowned upon, causing permanant wrinkles :(
Blood angels - No jump packs. Fluff wise these guys must be scared of heights, so you can't put them high up in ruins.
- All jump packs.
Eldar- Aspect warriors only. (yeaaahh we won't be too mad if you still have a farseer. Balls of steel if you dont though.)
Tau- No suits. No crisis, riptide, broadside, stealth. Nothing.
Legion (if you know about it)- No tactical squads. (its breachin time)
Nids- Fortress of redemption. MAKE IT WORK

I don't really know enough about grey knights, sisters, space marines, wolfs, deamons or any other armies that I have shamefully forgotten, so helping out with challenges for those races would be nice

GOOD LUCK.

Imperial guard challenge is implossible. If you are not aloud to get tanks and no infantry on foot you have nothing on the field first turn so you lost. I am sorry but it is not well thought out. Unless there is a flyer of forge world that comes in at first turn it is implossible.

I think the idea is you pick one of the challenges to do

both of those are separate challenges, if its got a '-' before it its a seperate one

Guard seems too easy just go for the usual vets + Chimeras spam supported by Vendettas and Manticores as is the usual for any competitive guard. To be honest their Tanks aren't great in 6th Ed but Chimeras are as good as they've ever been and Vendettas are the best thing in the codex now. Seems weird to just pick on the tanks?

In that case:
without tanks 1850:


No foot infantry 1999+1 points


What do you mean with nuclear warfare, alot of barrage?

I think he means deathstrikes.

The nid one is pointless. Something like 'No Flyrants and No tervigons' would be better.
