A managable horde, of 59 models, and no need for synapse. Scouting on half the genestealers to get some pregame manuvering in, and not a gun in sight. How would an army like this hold up, in theoryhammer?

**The Happy Anarchist**

It would die horribly to mechanized or skimmer armies.

May have some troubles with vehicles. I don't see any possible way for it to deal with a Necron list with two or more monoliths, due to teleporting out of combat and inability to bring the lith down.

As for matchup with most shooty lists, I am not sure. If you can manage to get most of the army up there for the 2nd turn charge, you might be okay.

As for advice, you may be able to tighten it up a bit by dropping one stealer from each unit that doesn't scuttle, and making them scuttle. You are almost gauranteed to lose more than 1 stealer during that first movement phase, so it will usually be worth it. Armies that won't kill that one stealer while waiting for you to move are likely to be eaten in close combat anyways, the extra stealer won't make the difference.

Another consideration is that you don't have anything that can afford to sit back and hold table quarters. You can get to them relatively quick, but if you have to break off the assault on turn 5 to get the quarter by 6, you might have other problems.

**Longshot**

The start of the all-assault horde pretty much needs to be 2 gunfexes.
