The Jihad list

Company commander with master of ordenance
Marbo
Platoon with specialist squads maxed with demo charges
Veterans with demo charges
Valkyria (can you crashland those?)
3 Deathstrike missiles


1 Pray to Allha you will hit something
2 ?????
3 Dies, but gets 70 virgins anyway

MotF and 6 Dreadnoughts.

3x maxed out Dev squads in drop pods.

I would love to have the funds to buy and field a swarm Tyranid list just for the fun of it.

The ENTIRE deathwing. All of it.

A single FOC of guard, with every slot maxed out (full platoons, full russ or ordnance squadrons, full flyer squadrons, elites to taste)

Surprised nobody said combat guard yet
CCS with straken, nork, and kell (and yarrick), 5 priests, marbo, 20 ogryns, vet squads with flamers, rough riders, not sure about heavy support

Dark Apostle
20 Chaos Space Marines with 2 Meltaguns, Meltabomb
20 Chaos Space Marines with 2 Meltaguns
20 Chaos Space Marines with 2 Meltaguns
20 Chaos Space Marines with 2 Meltaguns
20 Chaos Space Marines with 2 Meltaguns
20 Chaos Space Marines with 2 Meltaguns

Only 1850 points!

121 Power Armored bodies running straight across the field, with nothing in mind other than to make your life miserable. Of course, playing Heldrakes would suck horribly for you, but otherwise its a massive middle finger to everyone and everything, ever. Most armies literally can't keep all this off an objective.

Basically Heldrakes, MCs with Iron Arm, Wraithlords/knights and... yeah that might be it.

Other than the Dark Apostle's unit, CSM can be swept in combat by assault units.

This list will get chewed up by a lot of the more aggressive armies, including daemons and other fast aggressive armies.

I'd love to field the super command squad, Straken, Nork, Kell, Medic, rest of the guys with close combat weapons. Then take all the advisers you can cram in, all the priests, yarrick and tech priests.

Ulrik and Arjac, and a way to field an all-Terminator SW army!

Everybody gets Drop Pods, Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields.

Pretty much an all-or-nothing list. Either it smashes, or it gets smashed, but I like Ulrik, Arjac, and Tactical Dreadnoughts.

Oh. And Ulrik can't go in a Pod?! WTF...

If I ever got the money, I would do this:

Reclusiarch

X3 Furioso (Frag Cannon, Heavy Flamer)

X25 DC (Bolters)

X5 DC Dreads (Blood Fists)

X2 Regular Dreads(Assault Cannon)

Regular Dread(TL HB)

11 Dreads. 11.



Lucarikx

Honestly, i want to run a pure Stormboy list but sadly since theres no Stormboss allowing them to be troops its only going to be about 1/3 of my army at best at the average point game.

Hmm....that would be an interesting addition in the new ork codex actually...let the Warboss take Stormpacks or a Deffkopta and can make either nobz or stormboys or koptas a troop choice (one, not all 3). Not that competitive but would be hilarious and fun which is what orks are about!

Logan

Rune Priest in term x3

All Termies in drop pods after that baby!!!!

Oh, except for Logans unit. LF with 2 MM and 3 HB in drop pod. Vet sarg with frost axe. DIE MOFOS!!! lol

Canis wolfborn with 6 packs of fenrisian wolves.

= 925 points

Thats 92 fenrisian wolves

Then fill out the rest of the points with thunder wolf cavalry, lord or battle leaders on wolves with wolfes as wargear and iron priests on wolves with cyberwolves.

Since the new Eldar dex has arrived I've REALLY wanted to use a list that capitalizes on Horrify and Dominate. The thought of crippling enemy LD and then shutting them down every phase with Dominate sounds really awesome. The only thing holding me back is the lack of consistency... :/

2x Farseers: with Jetbikes, 3x Telepathy rolls to maximize Terrify, Dominate, and Psychic Shriek
4x Warlocks: with Jetbikes and all trying to get that Horrify off

4x3 Windriders: Warlock escorts

2x Hemlocks: Mindshock Pods, and Terrify

Throw in some decent AT and possible AA platforms and it looks like a fun time

at 1500 points

2 Flyrants

3 Tervigon

Mawloc

6 Monstrous creatures

2000 points of just straight Necron Warriors and 2 HQ's with Res Orbs. Donkey Caves to the max.

Just for laughs - double force org Necron Spyder spam

@2000

2x Destroyer lords with goodies

4x 5 man Warrior squads (two in Nightscythes)

3x 7 man Scarab squads

6x 3 man Spyder squads

18 additional Scarab bases going down a turn, not to mention the 18 S6 3W T6 3+Sv MCs charging down the field. At 2500, it'd be fun to load them up with particle beamers for tons of twin-linked S6 blasts.

I'd love to do a full infantry IG list

I ran trackless IG footsloggers against Eldar last night, did pretty well, just be prepared to remove lots of guys

I like the March of the Ancients list Lucarix posted..that would be mine too. 11 Dreadnoughts...opponent like what???

A full Death from the Skies list...about 2400pts

HQ
Astorath
Reclusiarch w/ jump pack

Troops
3x 5man DC w/ 4x Power Sword and 1x Thunder Hammer
Lemartes
3x DC Dreadnought

Heavy
3x Stormraven w/ TL MM, TL Assaul Cannon, and TL Hurricane Bolter Sponsons

Start nothing on the board and rain DC and Dreads Turn 2. Each 5man DC squad accompanied by the 3 different Chaplains. If they actually made it into CC it would be ridiculous. 25 ap1 and ap3 shots rerolling all missed hits and wounds from each squad. The barrage of fire from the 3 Stormravens would be great too.

i would laugh like hell if there were any objectives in that match

If you table your opponent you still win :-)

Try saying that to tervigons while they are burping out their angry purple offspring...

I always wanted to try 50 outflanking conscripts with al'raheim, with chenkov to send in the next wave for re-outflanking 50 conscripts.

Dark Eldar Wych Cult. Possibly using a Webway Portal.

And have just started building one (first ten Wyches built, woo!) so it will eventually be a reality.

What can I say? I like an uphill struggle and the new Tau book with its new gizmos and rules just doesn't fulfill that for me

So Tau are being put on hold for the first time since 4th edition until they're suitably old and need updating again

Last edition wych cult were really good, they have been properly nerfed by not being able to take blasters.

its more the fact that the entirety of assault has been nerfed. The introduction of over watch and unreliable charges means that wyches are pretty much all going to die before they reach the opponent.

Sometime I'd like to run a full BA vanguard vet squad all with 2 handflamers and then dare people to charge them. 20D3 S3 hits ftw.

Fleet mitigates the unreliable charge ranges somewhat, and overwatch can be managed by using small throwaway squads to force the opponent to use their overwatch on the small unit lest it make it into base contact and make the unit unable to overwatch the larger, more dangerous unit.

'Course this falls down against Tau who can overwatch with multiple units, as they can overwatch the first unit with the unit being charged then use backup units to hit the real threat if it tries to charge. So you'd basically have to charge all their units at once to spread the overwatch out. That's going to take some serious planning and a whole heap of luck to get units into position to do that.

Another fun list but man would it be expensive though I have heard of people running it is what I call Barrel of Monkeys.

I would run it as

HQ
Coteaz

Troops
5x 12 man Jokaero Weaponsmith

That's 60 Lascannon/MultiMelta/Heavy Flamer shots...please tell me who can deal with that? You better go first. On average 30 will hit and about 25 will wound. Problem is 60 Monkeys will run you about $900 US at 2200pts


Another fun one would be a Psyker Bomb.

HQ
Coteaz w/
8x Psykers
4x Crusaders

Troops
6x 8man Psykers and 4man Crusaders

That's 7x Str10 AP1 Pieplates per turn for 1000pts Crusaders are there as bodyguards for SS invuln.
This list would run you about $550...actually a lot more expensive then I thought for 1000pts.

Small units give kill points, fleet doesn't entirely compensate unreliable charges and larger squads of why he's usually still die to space marines and the like very easily.
