I'm going to the meatgrinder event at whw on Good Friday, and not sure what army to take. I'm not wanting to win every game, just have a laugh on the day, and maybe get best opponent. Restrictions on wysiwyg means that my army of killa Kans is a no go (the army I was planning on taking), as is my night lords raptor cult. Fully painted leaves me with actually few choices (which is ridiculous as I have 10 armies for 40k. Wake up call to getting painting).

Of the following choices, which would you rather face for a decent 1k game?

Standard Gk list?

Gk with IK?

Unbound gk/cult mech/IK?

An army of 7 assassins?

Inquisition with IK?

I won't post lists, as I don't want to give too much away, I want to present a challenge whilst having that laugh.

Any constructive input would be appreciated, in the games destroyed units of none unique infantry immediately rejoin the fight, and vp earned for eliminating units.

Seven assassins could be fun to play and play against. Call it the Seven Samurai list and you're set.

Good call. Easy list to write up and completely painted.

Forgive the ignorance but how do you legally get 7 assassins in a list?
I thought the Assassin detachment only gave you 1.

**JamesY**

Unbound. They are no longer unique.

An all-Assassins list would be so much fun to play!

Can't you just take as many detachments as you want?

This.
And if they don't allow doubling up, the assassin faction with an inquisitor CAD would also be fluffy and fun.

I think I'll go for the assassins then. I'm thinking;
1 Eversor
1 Callidus
2 Vindicares
3 Culexus

I have another 2 Culexus assassins I could switch out, but don't want to go too heavy there.

That sounds like tons of fun, both to play and to play against.

@ grumblewartz cheers mate, I'm hoping so. It will pretty much guarantee I loose every match as every time one model dies it will give my opponent an attrition point, but I'm hoping it will provide a very different sort of challenge for people, whilst getting the assassins out for their first game.
