I'm not sure if many people do this, but for laughs we were talking about making a vehicle-only 750 or 1000 point competition. You don't need an HQ, but you need at least 2 troops choice dedicated transports (without the models in them, of course). Anything else is free game.
2x Razorback w/ TL las, 75 pts each
Nephilim Jetfighter 180
3x Land Speeder
-1 with 2 multi meltas, 80 pts
-2 with typhoon missiles, 75 pts each
Land Raiders, w/ deathwing upgrade, melta, and hunter killer 300 pts
Land Speeder Vengeance 140 pts
I was considering running Sableclaw (Sammael's speeder) for its durability, but it only has heavy bolters and assault cannons, neither particularly effective against vehicles. Does this list sound any good? We've never done anything like it in the past, and I'm the only one that really runs any vehicles so I'm not sure what to prepare for. Thoughts and suggestions, thanks guys.
For armies that can't really do this (I'm looking at you, nids), we will bend the rules a bit. Nids can take monstrous creatures. Just a reminder, this list is for FUN, not for actual competitive play.

Are you counting walkers? Because having a few Dreads could be fun, and even in drop pods!

How could I forget about them! What a fool I am! I'm thinking venerable with a melta in a drop pod.....

Yeah, going all vehicles means trying to figure out how to get your meltaweapons to side/rear armor, and not much can do that better than turn 1 Mult-meltas in drop pods.

You get to take all vehicles and you're not taking Iron Hands? Dark Angles have one redeeming quality in vehicles, but it costs too much for a 1000 point game.

I think just maxing out Iron Hand Stormravens and Iron Hand Land raiders is probably the best bet. 2 of each, loaded with lascannons and Meltas.
that, or Lascannon predators and a couple stalkers.
Although I think IG will win this battle of vehicles only every time.
If the old Deff Rolla rule was still in place Orks may have had a chance. But with everything being open-topped the explodes result will be far too common.

Trying to find a way to do this with CSM but the rhinos are just so useless. A group of forgefiends and maulerfiends would be fun to run against other vehicles though. Maybe a helldrake as well.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion
