I like this one

HQ1 Xeno Inquisitor + psychostroke + rad grenade + Mastery LVL1 = 85pts
HQ2 Inquisitor + Mastery = 55pts

18 Paladins with brotherhood banner + psybolt ammunition + mastercrafting+ max psycannons = 1180pts

1320pts with all the combat and psychic potency buffs

Well, there really is no point in bringing any army, other than grey knights to any tourney from now on. LOLThey should just award the first grey knight player to arrive with the trophy and forgo the inevitable game itself. At least we'll get to the bar sooner then. LOL I jest of course, but wow that is broken HAHAHA

At least mine was legal, Paladins have a max of 10 in a squad

Well, that unit isn't quite optimised IMO. It could include a couple of techmarines for extra shots and extra bodies, and falchions are generally not as good as halberds. Building a death-star is a pretty precise science, lol.

But having said that, that 1300 point unit can only hold one or two objectives, and can only assault two or three times during the game. They'll trash almost anything they hit, but they can't hit that much and due to their exaggerated cost they are really hurt by anything AP2 or more. Demolishers are downright terrifying, plasma cannons and plasma guns, lascannons, melta-guns, all give them the shivers.

Thanks to FNP, a 2+ save and two wounds apiece, they are pretty well immune to small arms fire, but die (almost) the same to anything that ignores armour.

I've beaten GKs several times with my Eldar, and came pretty close in another game where my dice failed me on a pivotal roll (needed my Avengers to not run after being shot at so I could pull at least a draw, and so I roll boxcars for morale).

Might need an extra line here: Just saying it's far from impossible.

Sorry I was trying to keep in line with the original post with Kaldor's example that said 37 wounds xD

LOL I don't know, but I kinda feel like we're all playing a game of poker and the grey knight players have a stacked deck.

I've seen the whining threads about GK's on here, but I didn't realize just how OP they were until tonight. LMAO

No unit in the game can stand up to that imho.

I haven't seen a single post yet that even begins to equal the unparalleled whirlwind of epic destruction and death that this squad deals out.

Keep trying though. LOL

As a matter of fact, I challenge anyone to do the mathhammer with this unit against ANY other legal unit in the entire 40K game.

Sorry i forgot to mention your re-rolling all to hits and wounds. And with astoraphs axe you have to re role sucsecfull invuns.

Everytime one of these threads pop up you always seem to beat me to it!

Perhaps not the best assault unit, but a unit that makes my opponents cry when I put it on the table?

Seer Council.

Iranna.

Guys debating over Dc versus Paladins, In my actual list i have 30 death comp 20 of them have powerweapons, other 10 have pf. They are always joined by lemartes, astoraph, and a librarian. I also have a 10 man assault sqaud with 2 infernus pistols, Then i run 1 death dread and a furioso dread all in 2250pts or 2000pts if i dont toake some upgrades / dread.

WAAAAAAGGGGHH sorry wanted this to get more conversations.

As much as I LOVE the DC, I just don't see this list doing all that well on the table. Just doesn't seem like a very good allocation of points. just my .02 cents.

Especially since your entire army can be led around the table chasing something useless like a Rhino. yeah, they will catch it eventually but during the couple turns it takes you could be taking Demolisher cannons to the face.

Chuck the Lord on a juggernaught and he gets (i think) another +1S and +1A. /cackle

Since I seem to have been ignored: ring me something that is statistically likely to win against infinity plus one Orks that get to Waaagh! Every turn.

A Wairthlord, since they can't hurt him.

A lot of crazy building going on here and there doesn't seem to much in terms of limitations. Are we talking troops only, including special characters, etc.
I still like the Genestealers unit with TS and AG with brood lord. 95% of the time they are going first and rerolling all their rending attack misses. Hell if we are going crazy I have a tervigon beside them giving FnP and a Hive tyrant granting preferred enemy.

I think we need to decide on what the stipulations are for building the best assault units.

Deathstrike. Why bother in assault when you can nuke them?

I'd say TH/SS Termies, led by Lysander or Calgar, although, the C'tan would have been my choice before a certain someone killed them off.

'Baddy and Kharn with as many pimped out 'Zerkers would be a beat face unit.

Or a Bio titan.

While I don't think it would win against that GK Deathstar posted back one page. I took this unit the other day and "necrons are bad in melee" mentality caused them to do much winning.

Nemesor Zhandrekh
Obyron
Trazyn
2 warscythe, mind shackle scarab lords
2 crypteks, one with gaze of flame one with lightning field
10 Lychguard with shields.

When you charge them you lose furious charge, lose your attack on the charge, have to take multiple mind shackle tests and the unit has counter attack. The unit has multiple invuln saves and a res orb so they res on a 4+.

Most the squad has nasty power weapons and due to trazyn unlike most deathstars this bad boy is scoring.

Of course it also comes in at a completely silly 1200 points.

Well lychguard do have invulnerable saves and reflect the hits, plus reanimation protocols. About 15-20 of em might stand up do them..

(desperately hanging onto lychguard)

Should've probably checked the date on the post before yours. You're about 2 months late.
