A fun list that I would love to run, thoughts on how to make it more.... Micheal bay-ish?

Tank commander
Vanquisher + camo
total: 180

Troops

Overall total: 1000

The plan is errr..... Blow up everything or die in a glorious fire. This list requires the faith of the emprah to succeed and only the brave shall triumph. I will paint my guardsmen in yellow if I do run this list since they will have the emprah's blessings and/or praise for being in this glorious company. I can opt to take a CCS and some upgraded gear for my men but the vanquisher is just there to try and snipe ( and be sniped ) to buy the deathstrikes a turn at least XD.

On the side note, the list could also be run with manticores but if all 4 of the deathstrikes live ( it is a very big IF ), it would be either the fastest game played or the quickest lost. Either way, game ends on turn 2 XD

This list and game plan are awesome. You have the emprah's blessing so go forth and kill loads of anti emprah scubs.

That said, if you take manticores you get more shots, and can fire turn 1 so may be worth it, only downside is Ap4.

lol, pretty fun sounding, but a couple of issues:

1) Tank Commander has to have 1-2 Leman Russ in his squadron.
2) As much fun as it would be, you can't have 4 Deathstrikes in a single FoC

Edit: Yes, you are totally right. How did I miss those 2 points ??!!. Well, it is late here so I will think of a different way to do this tomorrow. This is unless anyone has suggestions to change it.

My bad.

You can just drop the 4th deathstrike and add 1 leman russ for same points. Not sure which variants because I don't have my dex with me

Right, this would be the legal version of "Apocalypse now"

Gentlemen, I present 2 lists:
"Closest to apoc now"
CCS
total: 60

Troops
Vet

This is funny because enemy troops failed to spot 3 ICBM tanks with nets on them. Also, this is called the "stealth nuke" since everything has camo XD. List needs to be painted in full camo to hide the ICBM ambush.

I need ideas for the most splody 1k point AM army that totally fits in a Micheal bay film. Help me out guys !

I say model them on a base with a billboard in front of them.

Or model them inside a house with a sign "Not an ICBM"

Edit: To go with the theme on the first list. All deathstrikes will be armed with heavy flamers just because it needs to end with more napalm.

I would advise against that, go heavy bolters, so at least then you have some ranged shooting.

But have fun and nuke stuff.

Ps. Where do you go for your FLGS?

FLGS for me is the edinburgh miniatures club. Otherwise GW edinburgh or local game cafe would be it. I don't really frequent the latter.

Why? will the list induce rage quits?

Also, would it be more fun to fire deathstrikes and charge all out using heavy flamers together with infantry? I know heavy bolters are definitely much more efficient but if I can't charge all in with 3 deathstrikes with heavy flamers after firing 3 deathstrikes, its already gg XD

Edit: because the enemy will try to rush me if I play this list, why not triple the threat and do this

Replace both vanquishers in HQ and all camo from tanks with 2 demolishers? that way, you have 2 demos and a clump of infantry sitting there waiting for the fireworks. If the enemy tries to rush it, you slam it to the warp with 2 demo cannons? Either that or the enemy has to shoot at the russes. Essentially you sit there and wait.

So from this

Total: 970 without upgrades on vets. Could give em a flamer and autocannon each or carapace armour and steel b*lls. : )

I like second list, better as I think camo is a waste on one shot wonders. Also just curios on where you gamed so when I read about a homicide in that area i'll know who to say a little prayer for (harhar).

As for whether camo or autocannons, id go auto cannons.
