An IG army with a load of conscripts rushing to melee, melta rough riders, and deathstrike launchers.

Forget max boyz. Go max Battlewagons!

You can take 8 battlewagons in a single FOC. That's 720 points, no upgrades. Then 120 for two barebones Warbosses and 300 for five Nob squads of 3 Nobz per squad.

That's a total of 1140 points so far, minimal squad requirements and no upgrades. What is the Adepticon point limit? 1850? Then you have plenty of room for upgrades, larger squads, even filling out the rest of your troop and fast attack since you already have a the HQ and troop requirements.

Don't forget the deffrollas

So, for 1850, he could run

HQ:
-Warboss, 'eavy armor, cybork body, power klaw
-Warboss, 'eavy armor, cybork body, power klaw

Elites:
-3 Nobs

Heavy Support

-Battlewagon w/ deffrolla, 2 big shootas, red paint job

-Battlewagon w/ deffrolla, 2 big shootas, red paint job

Total: 1848

That's a great list and I don't think you'd be called out for trolling/cheese. It'd be a viable TAC that would play very fast.

TBH I play every tournament as a spoiler anyways. People gamble and set up their lists against anything but green tide.

Move the Battlewagons up in a giant flower like formation, back to back to back, etc. So that only av14 is facing. That would be so annoying.

You know, the longer I look at this, the more I want to try it out myself. Considering I want to build and Evil Sunz themed army anyway, but still Battlewagon's are surprisingly cheap.

Returning to zombie apocalipse concept:

HQ:
Typhus - 230

Troops
35 Cultists (zombies) - 150
35 Cultists (zombies) - 150

Fast attack:
Helldrake - 170
Helldrake - 170
helldrake - 170

Heavy support:
1 Obliterator - 70
1 Obliterator - 70
1 Obliterator - 70

That's 217 models of fearless troops. Don't forget to be very accurate with your movement, it makes a lot of dfference, especially in the back of the mob

Put the Space Pope in a Devilfish with pods and sensor spines.

Infiltrate the whole army except DF or outflank the entire army. DF turbo boosts forward, Space Pope buffs all of the kroot's rifles for an extra shot and lets them be stubborn so they won't run away. Or better yet lets them run then snapshot, extra movement phase yay! Can add more points by giving all the Kroot sniper ammo, which will actually be rough for an MC heavy lists you play!

This with the thunderwolves might actually be somewhat effective.

Space pope cannot embark on a devilfish(which could not even be purchased anyways).

you cannot outflank the whole army but you could infiltrate half and outflank the other half

Twas early. Good points both. So instead, Min FW squad, take DF as Dedicated Transport, and add an Ethereal with the FW for your HQ. Then infiltrate half the Kroot and outflank the other half!

Or there's the option of using nids to get 5 tervigons, and then maxing out gants and gargs....

Or how about GK with 25 paladins? Would that be trolly enough?

Or to play an IG artillery regiment. All mortars as special weapons, with nine basilisks. Hope they aren't playing a horde army :p

Deathstrikes would be more amusing. They just aren't competitive, but if they do go off... woe be your enemy (and, if you're using a horde of conscripts to charge your foe, woe be the poor bastard who gets scattered on)

I second the deathstrikes, I've been meaning to get one for my towel heads- I mean Tallarn. You could totally pull off a North Korea joke with an army like that, deathstrikes and conscripts.

Just put down as many Necron Warriors bricks headed by a Lord w/ResOrb as you can.

Bubble wrap the tanks with conscripts and blob squads, hope to god you don't get matched with Blood Angels dreadnoughts, and refresh your conscripts whenever they get low.

You could field ....

==The Tortoise Wins the Race==
GUO (breath) 190
Herald of Nurgle (fecundity) 70
15 Beasts of Nurgle (musk) 780
90 Plaguebearers of Nurgle (plagueswords) 810
==1850==

Then just do nothing all game and still not lose. And seriously annoy some people. But uou could have the best painted army!


-----

Instead of all the boys, if the tourny allows forge world codex's, he could ally with the IA8 orks and get another BW with a kff mek

and another mek boy with tools to walk up from the rear fixing any battle wagons they didn't bother to blow up

Start with the minimum force chart. ie: 2 minimum sized troops and a cheap cheap HQ. Keep them in reserve. Bonus points if you can get a option or special rule to force them to stay in reserve. If they do come on, hide them in a corner. Their entire purpose was simply to get a legal army.

Then spend everything you can on heavy or elite choices. Totally max it with whatever is the killiest and most survivable thing you can get your hands on. Bonus points if you spam it.

Ignore the missions completely and just see if you can table them. Bonus points for pointing at a particular model/unit at the start of each game turn and saying "You're next" then following through on killing it.

Ok here we go:

Overlord w/ Res Orb

3x Lords w/ Res Orbs

4x 20 Necron Warriors w/ Ghost Arks

Do your damnedest to avoid melee. Hide your Arks as long as possible and go to ground as necessary. Glance any enemy vehicle/flyer that comes near you to death. Refuse to die yourself.

So you're essentially saying that the last Tau codex was a troll codex?

As Peregrine already pointed out, you will not be allowed to attend a tournament with such a list. If you join a tournament, you are required to make an army list that makes it possible to finish the game in due time. Slow play is a very important thing and *will* get you banned.

Well here's another ''awesome'' idea:

Yarrick

Primaris psyker

Priest, eviscerator

Priest, eviscerator

Priest, eviscerator

Priest, eviscerator

Priest, eviscerator

10x ogryn

10x ogryn

10x ogryn

10x veteran, mortar

10x veteran, mortar


Or something along those lines would be extremely awesome.

wall of scything talons

flyrants with dual scy tal
hormoguants for troops
screamer killers or trygons in heavy support

absolutely no ranged weapons

You could also just combine Vect and Coteuz. Always elect to go second, always steal initiative. You're trolling your opponent before the game even begins.

Now just add annoying units from each codex. Dreadknight, obviously. Reaver jetbikes just turbo boosting from hiding spot to hiding spot, doing their vector strike thing. Put Lelith in a FoR with a Krakstorm (not as good as it was before this new update, but still super annoying. AP 3 large blast that doesn't scatter) Could always park Some Psycannons on the other side of the Fortress (six inches away).

This seems really disrespectful to the event planners, players, and coordinators.

Depends on what you mean by 'trolling'. If you're just planning to take an army which will be incredibly annoying to play against, then that's just sad and pathetic. And a huge waste of your time and money.

But if you just want a bizzaro army which is uncompetitive in itself but still interesting to play and play against, that sounds a great idea.

I wouldn't recommend a Giant Horde army in a tournament situation - as others have said, it will probably never even get to end a full game.

The opposite - a tiny army of hard-ass units - would be a better bet. E.g. all-infantry terminators? (Hmm, all-infantry all-close combat terminators would be even more interesting...) A spam army (i.e. maxing out on some potentially powerful but unbalanced troop unit) seems a good idea - it will be unlike all those other 'sensible' armies, will lose horribly most of the time, but will sometimes give you a magnificent victory.

Take 3 helldrakes with hades autocannons. Seriously, it would be hilarious since everyone uses helldrakes but no one uses the autocannons.

Use Fantasy troop platforms so you can move all the cultists at once and then when you get in close just take them off the base if you need to be less squareish . would be Fun to watch.

Space wolves with 4 hqs and logan grimnar to make wolf guard troops, then 10 wolfguard with stomrshields, thunderhammers and jump packs, add in 2 lone wolves and your set, 16 models and over 103pts a model for the wolf guard...

The only way to go for trolling is Black Templar with 5 Land Raiders.

Here ya go...

Canis Wolfborn 185pts

Wolf Lord w/ Thunderwolf Mount and 2 Fenrisian Wolves 165pts
Wolf Lord w/ Thunderwolf Mount, Melta Bombs, and 2 Fenrisian Wolves 170pts
Wolf Lord w/ Thunderwolf Mount, Wolf Tail Tailisman, and 2 Fenrisian Wolves 170pts

15x Fenrisian Wolves w/cyberwolf 128pts
15x Fenrisian Wolves w/cyberwolf 128pts
15x Fenrisian Wolves w/cyberwolf 128pts
15x Fenrisian Wolves w/cyberwolf 128pts
15x Fenrisian Wolves w/cyberwolf 128pts
14x Fenrisian Wolves w/cyberwolf 120pts

5x Thunderwolf Cavalry 200pts
5x Thunderwolf Cavalry 200pts

All told you have 109 wolves and not a single scoring unit.

Some of these list can't even hit a flyer. Necron Air Patrol, Helturkeys, Vendi's... You would just lose. Fast.

Troll list is hard to play against, not a cakewalk.

SW 4x HQ, max Long fangs is awful.

IG with max Artillery, then bubblewrap the guns in blobmobs. Set up in the back corner, and then just screen all game with MSU and drop Arti on him. He'll win and die, hating the game the whole time.

Max Necrons with just warriors and orbs. Glance vehicles, never die, and mob with undead robots.

My ideas anywho

Da grot armee.

30 grots, 3 herders x 6 (or 12 if double)
3 Kanz x 3 (or big guns)
Grotsnik, and cybork bodies on everything that can take em...

Squeaky upper-class british accent a must..
