3 Mawlocs, 3x3 Lictors

Lictors come in and are placed anywhere with no scatter, so use them to surround an enemy unit. DS Mawloc in, any unit that can't move out of the way dies automatically, and the Lictors will ensure that he can't move. Bring a few Mawlocs in case one scatters.

You would be amazed how often people forget that crisis suits CAN and WILL crush tanks with AV10 rear by charging them.

Also, there is nothing quite as amusing as seeing a land raider braking into your line, just to remind the opponent that he is within charge range of fire warriors, and you bothered getting EMP.

You can't score, and you don't shoot worth a damn.
But, you've got 8 Magna Grapples for Ultimate Tug of War.

Only if opponents have tanks. But I think it would be amusing against IG players. "GOD DAMMIT LET GO OF MY TANKS"

SM Librarian using gate of infinity to teleport a full team of missile sides.

Also, the Ceastus (however it's spelled) Ram. That thing is just pure hilarious.

Drazhar, Jain Zar and Karandras, joined to a full size squad of Incubi (with Klaivex, of course). Three beatstick Pheonix Lords (Or equivalent, Drazhar may as well be the Phoenix Lord of the Incubi. )

Sure, it's about 1000pts and you have to walk across the Battlefield, but you can weather the storm of fire. Anything you make it into Assault with is pretty much dead. I'd say they could even gang up on a Wraithknight...

Mad Dok, w/ 180 Cybork Gretchin. Come the Apocalypse.

No you've got it wrong, its Drazhar, Karandras and Asureman in a unit of Harlequins. I got over 1k worth of models you just can't shoot at!

The most interesting thing I can think of is a Vindicare assassin inside a Fortress of redemption shooting the missle barrage silo at ballistics 8 with wound allocation via dead shot ability.

Back in 4th a friend of mine built a completely tooled out GK Terminator command unit with just about every option he could get his hands on. Slow, dangerous and so expensive that it was a massive liability, but hilarious. We even named him Lord Superfluous and his Holy Retinue of the Just and Supererogatory.

Ah, happy memories.

I once teleported a triarch stalker with a heat ray through my monolith to pop a land raider to oblivion XD


A friend of mine won a relic game last week by dropping all his drop pods around the relic >.< There was no way in hell i could get through in time

I had one lone Necron Lord drag the relic across to my board edge through 1750 points of IG firepower.

And is a TP'd Stalker legal? if it is, I am so doing that

Mutilators. Everyone laughs at them till they actually see them played.

And meltas, and heavy flamers, oh my!



I'm working on a list that will tire my opponent out, like fielding 6 full units of of FW, 3 full units of PF, and 3 full units of XV8 with meltas, plasma rifles and vector retro-thrusters and having 2 Cadre Fireblades as HQ to make two FW units extra shooty.
I made a list with XV88's that gave everyone Marker Drones, and that clocked in at 1930 points and should be able to deal with most things. But it was only 6 XV88, 4 with TL PR.
Changing to XV8 Elites is a 1917 point list that should be way more mobile and annoying, and all units have shield drones this time.

The normal FW units got 12 to 24 shots, sure, only str 5 AP 5, but it is also 48 to 96 shots, so one or two is bound to do something.
The other two squads got 26 to 39 when not moving, so there will be a maximum of 100 to 174 shots from all those 6 units, might not make many wounds, or they can be dishing out a lot of ouch, even in overwatch!

I would love to hear from anyone that is able to throw around all these dice for a bit to give some statistics of how annoying this can become.
Facing Tau you will always go for the PF units, but the numbers here might make it too much for most armies, I would think, as you got to do something about both the PF support for the FW units, and see to it that the 9 XV8's don't do too much against you.
With all these units flailing about, there will be some hilarity and shenanigans going on.

My favorite has always been double flamer crisis suits For deep striking fun times.

even against meq just for that awesome wound pool.

doesn't work anymore as well with the change to homing bacon from 4th to 6th.

Mmmm...delicious and tactical homing bacon.

This should be hilarious:
20 Kroots with 10 Kroot Hounds, making 40 attacks in CC, times 4.
Give all the Kroots sniper rounds, just for the fun of having 80 snipers.

Then have XV8's backed up by PF for much fun.

The Kroots will probably bee overlooked, but they should be too many to actually be overlooked.
This will also free up two HQ slots, so maybe more XV8's!

6.66 wounds from precision shots is pretty good, ~2 of those are even rending. Against MEQ, you're sniping 3 special/heavy weapons a turn.

Looking at Planet of the Apes, I think it'd play better with 30 monkeys and 6 chimeras. You could fire all 30 out of the top hatches, but you pick up 36 additional S5/S6 shots.
Points left would have to go into an Alpha Male (Knuckle Dragging Dreadknight).

On the Kroot idea, why not go all in:
Ethereal (cause he's cheap)
2 riptides
120 kroot snipers
27 sniper drones

Then just hope they don't bring flamers...

No, it can't be a vehicle.

Forge World Acanthrites, however, are fair game. As are the FW pylons which is pretty funny, though how you'd disembark is anyone's guess.

Theres also pretty much any ork list that involves Zogwort lol.

I ran him earlier and rolled even dice 3 times in a row to squig Abbadon lol. Soooo close to making him weaker than grot lol

Haha that one is always funny. How about 180 grots with a couple kff big meks running around, you cant really kill anything, but your opponent cant really kill them all off fast enough.

Change the Ethereal to a Cadre Fireblade and stuff him with the Sniper Drones for extra shootyness. The Ethereal only gives 1 extra shot per game, and I see little else use of them...
I don't like the idea of using Riptides, as many might not want to go up against it. It kinda becomes an annoying distraction and aren't as trolololololol as a maximum number of XV8's can be.
Then again, it can be very fun to stubbornly use overcharge and see the Riptides blow themselves up.


About the POTA list, it should be fun to field on apes, as they have melta, heavy flamers and lascannon in the same device.
If you are up against someone that don't know Jakaeros, it will be more fun when understands that you can throw out those things whenever and ... and... something, don't remember what now. Something about the apes being easy to kill, maybe?

How about 6 IG Platoon maxed out with Guardsmen and Conscripts? I'm sure you can't win any games but you never will be tabled.

I'm not sure you would even be able to pay for that...

In IG you can do some pretty cute tricks with Psyker Battle Squads, Primaris Psykers with Telepathy, and also pinning weapons if you want. Terrify will send almost anyone packing, Dominate will keep them in place, Psychic Shriek will mutilate tough squads, and even Nightshroud can be put to better use., while Pinning will cause people to drop to the floor a lot easier.

Going for 2000? Add 3 of the 5 man strike squads without psycannons and a Dreadknight with hammer, incinerator, and Psycannon

So... for less than 1000pnts worth of stuff you are dropping pie-plates o' pain... 5 of them. I'm almost tempted to suggest Allies and put some large mobs of Grots or Guardsmen. They can run up and be targeted by Karamov.

Did someone say Illics name?
