Hellbrutes and Daemon Princes

I have the DV 'brute painted to have silver armour with gold trim and blue daemonflesh, and a second 'brute I converted from the AOBR dreadnought to have two huge arms coming out of one side, and then stuck the front of a terminator to the front of the dread with a nurgle marine's helmet. Both look awesomesauce

my flaming death IG army. Nine hellhounds/banewolfs running around burning everything in sight always makes me smile.

Like other MEQ players have said, Vanguard Veterans.

Personally though, I find attaching a jumpack Chaplain makes a pretty nasty CC unit. He adds fearless and grants all squad members a reroll on the charge.

Basically youve got a fearless, jumpacking deepstrike unit tooled up with power weapons that rerolls on the charge. Not mad IMHO.

Managed to tie up and destroy a couple good units in games, and really harry the foe. Though it is at a pretty damn large point cost, I love the thought of a chaplain inspiring the Veterans to more killy acts, while shooting around through the air.

See I would do that, but then they can't charge the first turn they strike, which for me is the most fun part about the Vanguards, but then depending on your dex' you may not have the Death Company alternative like I do

Trazyn + Lychguard + Warscythe Overlord in a croissant. They really don't get as much done as one would expect. Unless I plan it well enough to come them back up, they typically get left behind....but I am hardpressed to not run my Yoohoo Wrecking Crew

Ah, I stand corrected, thanks for that actually, I play Vanilla Marines and am still learning rules as I go, right now I just feel bad for my buddies who I normally play when im home, ive been deepstrike charging my vets for a bit

So minus the deepstrike, still not bad, but way overcosted for what ill get out of them now without deepstrike charging lol

Ah yeah, I wish it was possible, but I think Commander Dante no scatter Deepstrike with a unit of Vanguards, then assaulting the turn they drop would be a bit broken

Genestealers and warriors. Fluff wise they're to important to pass up

And you mightve just figured out GWs evil master plan of OP and broken units! Kidding of course, and not trying to start any flaming/hate, I dont have very much against them personally. But I would have a good laugh if that actually happened, purely based on this conversation.

Back OT though, I love to field my dreadnoughts, thing that got me into space marines and 40K, and ill be damned if I dont run them!

Defiler, because I like my conversion.

Me too. and might I add, despite being told over and over again that they are point sinks, my defilers (2) earn their points everytime.

Any unit I use becomes competitive by definition because of my uberness, I am sorry to read so many people dont have the same skill level.









lol just trolling

A fair point, when threatened with Astartes air the Chaos commander is blessed with such a reply.

That said the lizard will be flying over a veritable legion of cultists...

I use Zapp Guns for my heavy

I've been having fun with my Talos in smaller games.

Grotesques having been fun too, but not sure if they are considered "non-competitive".

I still use Sanguinary Guard in my BA army. They are just too awesome looking to leave on the battle barge.

My CSM still uses a D Prince and a Defiler.

I still run a full Sanguinary Guard army! Dante, Sanguinor, one priest and 6 units of Guard

On occasion. Not nearly as much as it used to, or as much as my triple land raider death company list

Now, I appreciate all of you that think you run non-competitive units, but I have something far more sinister. I am a hipster in 40k, I had Tau before they were cool, and my second army was Sisters. I am now working on my third, Eldar. Feel free to flame me about this following statement:
Sisters of Battle - First of all, im using them. That in itself is a joke. Secondly, I use Repentia AND Penitent Engines. Go ahead. Laugh.
HOWEVER.
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING.
My ELDAR ARMY, is MELEE FOCUSED, and as SUCH, is focused around ELDAR BANSHEES AND NOT HARLIES. Yes. I just said that.
My favorite unit in ALL 40k is Banshees. Even though they are worse in every way than the Harlies.
However, (Power Weapons stuff) run them with Power Lances, and some Doomseers, and you have a S4Ap3I10 Squad that can reroll wounds on the charge. Eates marines alive, but makes TEQ laugh.

Banshees.

Top that.

*Edit for bad English, Im tired, its 6am

Pentitent Engines aren't actually that bad... albeit them being HS (still don't get that but they are still not terrible)

Now I DO have to laugh at powerlances and say you have me beat there, those things are next to useless XD they take the worst bits of the other power weapons to make a fail weapon

they arnt terrible......they take up a heavy slot, are open topped walker with low armor, anything AP1 get a +3 on the damage chart. I still love them though.

I love the idea of the Eversor Assassin. However, he never gets into h2h, or dies in overwatch. Awesome though.

Mortar teams!

Space Wolves:
>Blood Claws
>Skyclaws
>Swiftclaws
>Overpriced Wolf Guard Terminators [13 models 1,500 points]

Guard:
>Rough Riders
>Sniper Rifles
>Leman Russ Demolisher with 3 Heavy Flamers

Fully decked out squads of carnifexes backed up by tervigons giving them feel no pain and it will not die goodness. I like crushing claws/scything talons for looks, another squad with double tl devourers, and another squad with the big blast template weapon. makes for fun times.

Warphead. People laugh, and then he deepstrikes a unit of 30 Boyz in their deployment, who then run into cover... try stopping me from getting linebreaker

Also, he typically gets me at least 1 extra Waaagh per game for my Dakka Jets.

Daemon Prince with MoT, 3ML's, Wings and Power Armour.
I'm told it's a point sink. Good luck trying to convince all those assassinated HQ and heavy support units.

Running 4 warphead's and 6 dakkajet's at 2000 points. Oh the joy of having a waaaaaagh pretty much every turn xD

10 men BC packs.
Simply I love 'em.
And I hate GH-LF spam soooooooooooo much...
