Hi all, I wanna see the nastiest lists that Dakka can pump out for 500 point games. I know the game isn't as balanced in the small points levels, but lets see those crazy lists that you would actually bring to escalation leagues and other similar events!

Here's mine to kick off:

Tau 500

Ethereal

X7 FW

X8 FW

Riptide (Stim, Velocity, SMS, Ion)

Skyshield

Comes out to 500 on the nose!

Again, post those crazy lists!

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

While not in the same league of the other lists here, here is a C:SM one.

HQ [chaplain or MotF]

5 scouts, BP/CCW
5 scouts, snipers

Land Raider. I like the Godhammers, but any of them will work. The LRR can get the extra MM.

The chaplain whips the CC scouts into a frenzy as they charge down the assault ramp normally reserved for terminators, which is nice. The MotF is there as a troll option, as he fixes the tank from the inside just incase anyone manages to wound it.

330 points left for six Crisis Suits @ 52 points each, dual Burst Cans. That's 48 highly mobile shots.

So far, only Senden's 3 Valk list would worry me, for lack of anti-Aircraft (or any 2+ Flyer list).

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

500 exactly. Or I could make it just be one wicked fat demon prince in order to run actual CSM as troops instead of putting the cultists in reserve and hoping they get to actually capture something. Something like this

Nurgle Demon Prince, Burning Brand, Black Mace, Ichor Blood, wings 280
5 CSM Rhino 110
5 CSM Rhino 110

It could also be better to run 1 more kitted out squad of CSM and some cultists instead though

Nurgle Demon Prince, Black Mace, wings 245

10 CSM 1 Melta, 1 Flamer 155
Rhino, Havoc Launcher 47
10 Cultists 50
497

Maybe running a ton of cultists would actually just be the best option, but I'd prefer running at least some troops that can be used for aggressively taking points on their own.

@Whereswaldo: You seem to be missing a second Troop choice. Though Master of the Forge is a nice pick. How about this?

Blood Angels 500
Mephiston
DC x5 w/ Power Sword
DC Dreadnought w/ Heavy Flamer, Blood Talons

Get in fast, and hit hard. Kinda all or nothing regarding incoming fire before the assault but if they fail to drop you, they will go down HARD.

HQ Herald of Khorne

If I can get them into melee, it's all over for the other side. Skullcannon dropping S8 pie plates that ignore cover and provide assault grenades for the letters is uber nice!

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.

My thoughts exactly. However, if we're talking USD as your flag indicates, then those prices are WAY off.
