Please note you have to attempt to get the number as close to 1750 as possible, no taking 200 points worth then calling it a day.

So no armour to speak of no vehicles the only redeeming feature is possible pain token from drugs.
Still not as bad as the nid suicide squads.

1750 on the dot. 2 units of Kroot have guns...nothing else. You could go way higher by adding more Shield Drones, upgrading some Crisis Suits to Shas'vres, and another Crisis Suit Commander with no guns.

You could also do things like bring Darkstrider with no pathfinders or fire warriors. A 100 point character (toughness 3, 5+ armor) that can't join any units.
You can make a unit of Pathfinders + Devilfish that costs 448 points.
You could take Vespid...

You could make that DE list much worse. Try throwing on haywires for the wyches they won't get to throw at a tank. Also, the hekatrix and hydra gauntlets, etc. Less models on the board and max upgrades to a unit that will be shredded before it gets anywhere.

They'd do better than grotz though... Ignores cover with potentially very low AP? It's gonna kill SOMETHING.

My list is worse, because you the player sees three 450+ point deathstars and has hope of a win, only to have that hope brutally crushed the moment he rolls a whopping 5 hits from the whole unit at AP 6.

30 grots with no upgrades - 90 points
I can fit in 18 squads of these, resulting in 540 grots on the field. Imagine 540 shots in one turn... You would take longer setting up that playing.

Hang your head in shame
We all know gretchin really can pull off miracles, and they can still put out 180 shots per turn lol.

Ork marine - you need runtheards for them.


Also, if you want a laugh, take mad dok grotsnik, buy them all cybork bodies.
You then have an army of grots with 5++ and one unit with FNP (thats lost to anything S4+)

btw with the grot one aslong as you put a HQ with a powerclaw or a big gun of some sort its not too bad because there is no army that even killing every shot can get rid of 540 grots before they swamr them and use sheer numbers to kill them

Total: 994


So my idea is to put the Libby and the Scouts without Cloaks up on the top of the Fortress. Then the other three squads will go inside the tower, and in each of the two side bunkers. Everything has a 12" range, even the psychic powers, so when someone gets close enough--plow! That's like, 30 BS3 Str 3 shots!

To get to 1750, I would add another detachment, exactly the same, with a few less Scouts.

Have fun painting! But seriously, that would probably be the best army out there, but i'm not sure if you can have 18 troop choices (I think grots are troops, but I have about 0 knowledge of orks)

I didn't know about the runtherds. Honestly though, noone can kill off 540 grots in 5 turns. Unless you knew beforehand and had about 5 cyclone missile launchers and a bucketload of flamers.

I did leave space for a basic warboss in there.

Ummm... Does anyone have 540 dice please?

That list isn't legal, you can only have one Death Company squad if you don't have Astorath

You could however take Astorath and get rid of the possibly useful TH's

I love the Tau list so much. Having to buy your guns on crisis suits makes for some hilarious situations.

Also, good job taking the shaper. I have never seen that guy be good at anything, especially not 21 odd points worth of "anything".


Automatically Appended Next Post:
You know, this gives me an idea. How about a tournament where you and your opponent have to swap armies before the game...

Would have to be a rule in force that all armies must be within 10 points of the limit or something to stop people bringing in 200 point lists.
