Taking Rubrics is pretty wacky and terrible in the first place, so that'd be the first place to start.

Already ordered Ahriman and 4 conversion packs earlier today.

Run them with a few Tzeentch Daemon allies and summon only Screamers. Drown your foe in manta rays.

Honestly the range isn't quite big enough for there to be silly ways to run Thousand Sons.

Running Thousand Sons is already silly. Learning to win with them is the wacky part.

That's easy. Minimal actual TSons and fill the rest of the list with Tzeentch Daemons.

That's not really wacky. :/

I was more looking at about 1500 points of TSons and 500 points of Daemons. Considering how nasty the daemon summoning can get it's not like I'd NEED more than that.

**Col. Dash**

Horde Legion
Imperial Fist consul
6x20 man tactical squads all with Bolters and Fury of the Legion.

You might still have points left over in 2k to have something else.

As I said in the Sicaran thread....

Take the Realspace Raiders detachment. Take the obligatory Archon HQ and minimum squads of Kabalites, each with their own Raider dedicated transport. Then proceed to fill out the rest of your army with as many Raiders as you can buy, and fit every raider with a shock prow.

SUPERSONIC SKIMMER DEMOLITION DERBY

AV 14 RAMMING

Ork gunline ... I would actually like to see if it is possible.

Actually in a team tournament one team played an Ork Gunline with Melee Tau back in 5th ed.

Funny sight.

While not relevant to your armies:

Eldar civilian army: all guardians with some wraith support, no aspect warriors.

IG infantry only: No tanks or transports AT ALL.

Outdated CC eldar: Storm Guardians, Howling banshees, an Autarch with CCW and shuriken pistol.

No upgrades Chaos: all in the name.

Full cultists: 6 units of 20 cultists, a dark apostle.

**MrFlutterPie**

Eldar wraith army vs a Tau army made up of only drone units.

This week on robot death battle!!!

**TheCustomLime**

Warmachine 40k. A Space Marine army with dreadnoughts of varying types led by MOTF and a Librarian vs an Eldar Wraith army led by a spirit and Farseer. Add Knights and Wraithknights for flavor.

**AegisGrimm**

Even though it was "official" so not really wacky, my Kroot Merc army was fun back during 4th edition. Make sure to bring lots of dice for the gulag of all close combat phases, when every foot soldier (other than Kroot Hounds and a couple of specialist units) in the army has at least 3 attacks on the charge and they come in squads of up to 20.
