Well, there's the obvious Night Lords list with far more Raptors and Warp Talons that one can normally bring, coupled with the ability to freely build Claws up to the company level. You can now make a Word Bearer army with f*cktons of Cultists, coupled with Chaos Space Marines, Chosen, and a Dark Apostle. You can finally bring back the Genestealer swarms, if not make an actual swarm Tyranid army (don't really need to worry about synapse now). Oh, you can also now bring a proper Imperial Guard armor company or an infantry regiment. Chaos Space Marines can bring Daemon Allies that are only lesser daemons, not greater daemons who should be leading both factions. Space Marines can field proper first company lists, all terminator lists are no longer limited to the Dark Angels.

Abaddon's personal retinue of guards - a force comprised entirely of Chaos terminators.

Much heresy.

Operation pacific rim:

All the wraithknights, ALL OF THEM. Play a quadruples game to work with Riptides, Imperial Knights, and Dreadknights.

Vs a massive horde of Tyranid and Chaos monstrous creatures. Maybe some Squiggoths and Knarlocs too.

Blood Ravens 1st Company:

Chapter Master w/ TH, Artificer Armour

Captain w/ Power Weapon, Jump Pack, Artificer Armour, Teleport Homer

8x Honour Guard, 5w/ Relic Blades, Chapter Banner

ML2 Librarian

ML2 Librarian w/ Terminator Armour

5x Tactical Terminators w/ Assault Cannon

5x TH/SS Terminators

9x Vanguard Veterans, 5w/ Power Weapons, Sgt w/ Relic Blade, 2x Grav Pistols, 2x Plasma Pistols

8x Sternguard w/ 2x Combi Melta, Drop Pod w/ Deathwind Missile

1x Dreadnought w/ Assault Cannon

A bit of hero hammer going on, but it's the kind of army I wanted to do from the get-go with Marines. The only model I need to get is the Dreadnought, and I've got an alternate list which drops the terminator librarian and dread for a Land Raider for the chapter master. A strong incentive for me to go back and repaint an early army of mine, and paint a big backlog of models I had for the army which never got used.

Warhounds, lots and lots of Warhounds, maybe a Reaver for moral support.

Thing is you can do this now using the Apocalypse ruleset and I now want to do that at club, see if a few of us can scrape up that kind of battle

This thread REALLY makes me want to rebuild my old Iron Warriors army. No! Must... focus.. finish.. Imperial Guard.. first...

Thunderwolf lord with has many thunderwolves as possible

Created account just to contribute this: All Chapter Masters All the Time. As many as you can fit, pray you go first, drop all the orbital bombardments at once and hope for the best.

BA all-termies, led by a Librarian. Space Hulk +1 (although this was already doable with Deathwing counts-as)

Actually, that's one of my armies. Wanted a good reason to use all those awesome Terminators outside of Space Hulk 3e.

8ish Chapter Masters with Jump Packs and assorted close combat gear.

Blood Angels Movie Marines!

I'd play against that

With Daemon Princes

BBoS on one, Back Mace on the other, Be'lakor alongside...

Only Space Marine captains with really good weapons led by a Special Character.

I know that this thread is about army lists, but I can't bother to make all of those examples in form of a list but here's some ideas:

1st company: Chapta Masta with HG and all Sternguard/Vanguard squads in drop pods.

The Unforgotten: imperial heroes of old marching into battle clad in heavy Dreadnought suits. All-dreadnought army led by a venerable dread for some flavour! Could ally in some fragiosos for sweet horde pummeling fun.

Dead on the march: Lords and Necron Warriors everywhere, although it can be achieved by double foc just as well.

Basically any army's armoured company.. give me a skyray/hammerhead army led by Longstrike!

Chosen, Sternguard or terminator troops.

Eldar Aspect forces.

A Grot Liberation Army with tanks!

A team of captains or even chapter masters vs a cultist spam for some cinematic stuff worthy of Black Library books.

Hell, even small things like commissar squads in addition to 'regular' IG army!

Or an all-devastator Imperial Fists army.

An army of nothing but IG platoonsmen.

Call yourself Chenkov, and you're golden.

At 1500 points, CCS with MoO and 11 Basilisks.

Let's see. A list of Tyranids that are Fluffy....

How about a Subterranean Assault? Not including the Dataslates. 1500pts.

1 Lictor

3 Ripper Swarms
-Spine Fists
3 Ripper Swarms

Ravener Brood (5) + Red Terror
-Deathspitters + Rending Claws
Ravener Brood (4)
Ravener Brood (4)
Ravener Brood (4)

Mawloc
-Adrenal Glands
Mawloc
- Adrenal Glands

A total of 1493 pts. And no Synapse in sight... I suppose I'd have to ask to forgo IB Rules if I was to use this particular fluffy list. Everything has Feed, so it would end very badly if my opponent decided to say no for that.

How about the ultimate co-op of the marine chapters, white scar bikers, raven guard/BA jump troops, imperial fist devastators, all iron hands vehicles with techies, throw in some deathwing, and flaming salamanders for fun.

I personally have plans on making the raven wing without Sammie due to my hatred of named characters already.

Autarch or Farseer

Fire Dragons, DAs, and Banshees.

All in Falcons (4+).

(I love mechdar!)

Full on Speed Freaks warbikers army without the need for Wazdakka, lead by a legit bike-ridin' Warboss. That or a literal Luftwaffle airforce with vanguarding deffkoptas and a mix of dakkajets and various bombers.

Trazyn's Acquisition Council - 1985 points

Trazyn - 175 points

4x Overlords - 780 points
Warscythe, Tessaract, Sepiternal Weave, Phase Shifter, 2x res orb

10xLychgard - 450 points
5xHarbingers of Eternity - 200 points
Chronometron
Nightscythe - 100 points

Royal Court - 280 points
4x lords - 55 points each
Staff of light, Tessaract
Harbinger of Despair - 60 points
Veil of Darkness

Might be a little game breaking. It's just borrowing the theme from the apocalypse formation where lychgard have a 3+ invuln instead of a 4+.

Only you have 8 tessaract labyrinths on the field with a unit of lychgard with 5 rerollable D6 per phase.

I have all the models I would need to field this.

Heresy!

The first thing I thought of when I heard of Unbound was I can now run a tribute to Eldar Fluff and bring Jain Zar and 100 Banshees. But that's just from one Codex.

Somebody mentioned Alien Auxiliaries for Tau. I love the idea, Dal'yth is described as a very metropolitan Sept. I've been wanting to do Gue'vesa since I first picked up the army, if nothing more than to annoy a friend who plays IG.

Ork DeffSquadron, pack in as many dakkajets as possible and just fly around shooting and hopefully ramming stuff.
Hilarity guaranteed.

Bonus points for taking Deffkoptaz so that you're not tabled on T1.

12 Talos, 6 Cronos with Spirit Vortex.

1 Haemonculus sitting at the back cackling maniacally.

1850 points.

2 Tyranid Wrecker Nodes + 1 Tyranid Bio-blast Node
all formations. a hell of a lot of carnifexes, and synapse. It would be glorious
