Hey all, I was curious if someone could put a list of the armies from most swarmy to least swarmy (most elite) and they order they believe all the armies would be between. Still learning the armies. thanks =)

The swarmiest! (100+ models)

- Imperial guard infantry blobs.
- Ork green tide.
- Typhus' zombie apocalypse.
- Something tyranids (I don't know them well enough, sry, only that they are regarded as good at spamming gribblies)

The elitest! (<25 models)

- Deathwing.
- Draigowing.
- Imperial Knights.



War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

Horde armies:
IG Infantry Platoons Spam - As many Platoons as you can cram.
Ork Green Tide - Boyz, boyz and more boyz. For lulz you could replace boyz with gretchin.
Tyranid Endless Swarm - Termgants, Hormagaunts, and Gargoyles. And lots of them.

Elite
Deathwing/Draigowing - just a few models in Terminator armour
Imperial Knights - 3-6 giant walkers
Tyranid Nidzilla - Minimalist Troops, lots (relatively speaking) of big bugs.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Some armies can pull off swarm better than others (whether or not it is effective is a different topic). Others have trouble with it.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Orks can squeeze in well over 200 Boyz in 1500 points.

Few can dispose of so much T4.

Even if you want a few klaws you can still drown the foe in boyz.

Because I had misread your post and thought you had said Zombies, not Cultists. Zombies include a 230 point tax.

Ah, fair enough. Nope, I'm that rare breed of CSM player that doesn't play Nurgle.

Actually, only one of the CSM players in my store play Nurgle. I deal with Thousand Sons, Iron Hands and fething Noise Marines on a weekly basis.
