Let me see if I can clarify. I wouldn't be able to get to my local GW shop until 5pm. They close at 7pm Tues - Thurs, so long games really aren't in the picture. Plus, I have other things I need to take care of. Fridays are usually pretty packed, so no guarantee for a table. Saturdays are when I'll be able to break out my 2000 point armies.

I'm looking for a small, maybe 800 to 1000 point army that can fit in a Citadel Skirmish case, be unpacked, played, and packed up again in right about an hour. I'd rather not lose each time, but I'm not competitive either. These games will just be for fun. I'd also just prefer not to play Chaos.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Grey Knights. You won't have many models to pack and unpack.

Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts

Sisters are pretty fast if you put your models back in the case as they die. Strong enough to win you games, but with a high attrition rate in the process.

Also favor mechanization, rather then footslogging. If they are in the tank, you don’t need to worry about deploying everyone.

Avoid librarians. While nice, they have a lot of overhead in picking powers, generating charges, etc. It’s a phase you can skip.

Going to be my 1000 point army. 3 gallants in lance formation. You'll either loose quickly or realise your opponent can't win quickly. Only issue is opponents may not be your friend...
