Imperial Guard (will always be called this by me. Astra milla whatever means nothing to me)

0-2 senior officer squads (never a bad choice, no upgrades)

How about lots of Primaris Psykers Lvl 1 only, sure everyone need lots of Prescience (may not be in the new rules but lets assume it is) one for every manticore, hydra, and heavy weapon team

minimum Platoons no upgrades just to get, lots of flakk missle launcher teams 21+ I think I have 28 (I own steel legion each box set came with one and I bought a ebay lot of heavy weapon teams which had several) or stick with Hydras how many do you want? facing Flyrants, Harpies and Crones take more.

3-5 Manticores

2-3 Wyverns

nothing is in squadrons and spread out make it impossible for your opponent to cause multiple pens in one shot.



Whats that you went 1st ok I might lose, potential exists that I could come back.

I went first good luck going 2nd, unless you have alot of FMC...did I mention taking more hydras or flakk cause very little on the ground is going to be living.

If I can ever manage to find 57 small furry space ape models for a fair price I will most certainly play a game like this and take plenty of pictures. As it stands from GW, that army costs $755.25

123 Mandrakes!!!


...O you wanted a good list?

The real tool here is GW.

Step one. Buy a barrel of monkeys (make sure they're purple)
Step two. Buy a bag of bases
Step three. Base said monkeys
Step four. Planet of the Grapes
Step five. Profit

Take the METAL BAWKSES list from a few pages back, and replace all the rhinos with drop pods.
I give you the Codex Astartes sanctioned maneuver STEEHL RHEIN!

Allowing for multiple simultaneous and devastating deep strikes using Drop Pods?!

I like the idea of 100 Kannons at 200 points on the dot.

200 Grot models, 100 artillery pieces at 7T 3++ 2W if the statline for artillery is still in effect.

Meganobs, loota's and battlewagons with deathrolla's.
Nuff said.

My personal-fluff friendly unbound army:

1 Officio Prefectus Comissar
3 Veteran squads (+ Chimaeras opt.)
4 Bane Wolfs
3 Hellhounds
3 Devil Dogs
2 squads of ratlings (5)
3 Gryphons

The list would be based on the fanfiction I am currently (getting round to) writing, and mainly for the purpose of aesthetics rather than killy power.

Be'lakor [350 pts]
Typhus [230 pts]
35x Zombies [150 pts]
35x Zombies [150 pts]
Primaris Psyker [50 pts]
Primaris Psyker [50 pts]
Enginseer [40 pts]
Leman Russ Vanquisher [125 pts]
Leman Russ Executioner w/Plasmacannons [185 pts]
Leman Russ Exterminator w/HB Sponsons, Lascannon [165 pts]

Total: 1495 pts.

Mmm, fluff lists.

185 Ratlings, all in squads of 3 and one squad of 5, for objective holding of course

Ooh! Herohamer!

Take a selection of SC's and your own fluff characters, and pit them against everyone to see how well they'd do!

Be'lakor (He's my IG regiment's planet's deity) [350 pts]
My old friend, 16 (Daemon Prince of Tzeentch with some stuff on him) [250-ish pts]
Lord Commissar Sidonus Stalin (Representing one of my friends) [85 pts]
IG Veteran Squad w/Bolt Pistol, Sniper Rifle (Commissars need men) [63 pts]

Total: 748 pts.

Play against any 750 list.

17 Ravagers with Dark Lances, for a total of 52 S8 AP2 Lance shots.

Basically, averages 4 dead Riptides a turn, and 17 hull point damage to Leman Russ spam armies per turn, with about 4~ explodes results.

Even against infantry, you're doing 28~ wounds a turn, and you can evade the blobs all day long firing at full BS with every gun due to 12'' movement.

7 Land Raider Crusaders with MM each - 1820 points. Fun times ahead.

Golden army list right here .

30 Squads of Gretchin for a total of 566 Gretchin and 30 Runtherders.

And I would make sure to take my sweet time during movement phase.

id probably take an army consisiting of 50% dark talons and 50% land speeder vengance's. ill blind you till the mad dok has to throw you an assist baton and pie plate you with s8 ap3 plasma storm batteries until im blue in the face. i will designate my HQ to be a single scout unit that i will hide in a corner on my table elde. they will all have CCW weapons (for the lulz)

Llysander (230)
Tigurius (230)
Marenus Calgar (285)
Azreal (215)
Coteaz (100)
Logan Grimnar (275)
Dante (225)
Grimaldus (185)

I'll call it "Battlebrothers on Rampage"

Imagine the Look Out, Sir abuse.

5th ed nob bikers anyone?

What about an Exterminatus army?

Deathstrikes and Techmarines with OSRs. And that is it.

I'm in tears of laughter reading this thread, it's epic.

Did anyone mention 14 Mawlocks btw?

Hardly Op, but could be fun. Good luck taking out the LRBT's early when you've got 20 bikers, Be'lakor and a Heldrake to deal with. Unless 7th is more different than I expect, this is going to be the first list I'll try out.
