So based on another thread further down where I tried to make fluff type space marines (ish) it gave me a thought.

Just for fun make an unbound list of 1500 points using only HQ options.
You must abide by all limitations I.e. Unique characters, unique wargear etc. and ally rules.

For my list I went with space marines:
Clan Raukaan Chapter master with Gordon's chain, thunder hammer, articifer armour and Storm bolter
Vulkan
Pedro Kantor
Clan Raukaan captain with betrayer's bane, artificer armour and melta bombs
Imperial fist captain with primarch's wrath and armour indomitus
grey knight captain with psilencer
Dark angel captain with foe smiter in articifer armour
Brother corbulo
Blood angel captain with fury of Baal and valour's edge in articifer armour

Designed to be a semi fluffy squad of marines.

What would your list be?

16 SAG meks, 1 megamek and a kopta. In one squad.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/625514.page

Seven Vanquisher command tanks with Beast Hunter shells, artificer hulls, co-axial stubber. For the lulz.

Six Flyrants with 2x Twin Linked Devourers w/ Worms, E-shock Grubs. Warlord (or just a random one because I don't know how Warlord works in Unbound) gets Aerial Ace, Indescribable Horror and Old Adversary because it can.

2x Ethereals
8x Fireblades
Commander w/ PEN, MSS, CCN
Commander w/ 2x Missile Pods, VT, EWO
Commander Shadowsun

990pts

All in the same squad. I would so love to see this!!! Someone tell me the maths for how many twin linked, ignore cover, Tank/Monster Hunter pulse shots those Fireblades with split fire, stealth, shrouded and 6+ FNP get?!

Edit: I think its 9 each, 11 at half range!

Da Anorkists!

Great Waaagh! Warboss with Shoota, Power Klaw, Attack Squig and Big Bosspole on a Warbike,
Great Waaagh! Warboss with Shoota, Power Klaw, Attack Squig and da Choppa of Ragnarork on a Warbike,
Great Waaagh! Big Mek with Rokkit Launcha, Killsaw, Attack Squig and da Mega Force Field on a Warbike,
Warboss with Shoota, Power Klaw, Attack Squig and da Lucky Stikk on a Warbike,
Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun, Killsaw, Attack Squig on a Warbike,
Painboy on a Warbike,
9 Warbosses with a Shoota, Powerklaw, Attack Squig on a Warbike.

About 2000 points, if I calculated correctly.

A propa biker gang!

All da gits are Fearless, have their weapon skill increased, benefit from a 4++ against shooting (with good positioning anyway) and have 5+ FNP.

24 Xenos Inquisitors with 2 Needle Pistols each,
1 Xenos Inquisitor with 2 Needle Pistols, Plasma Syphon, Rad Grenades,
1 Ordos Heretics Inqusitor with, Inferno Pistol Null Rod, Psyocculum, Liber Heresius.

That's 50 S3, AP2, Fleshbane shots at 12" that fire at BS10 vs Psykers to start with. Add in some protection vs Psychic powers, bonus rules, a weapon to help crack tanks, and reducing the toughness of a charging unit and it's kind of funny.

That said it's all in Carapace armor and T3 so it's not like it's invincible either.

Blast, someone beat me to the Bikerbosses idea. Oh well. Here's variation on that theme:
1 x Warboss + Warbike + PK + Da' Finkin Kap
1 x Warboss + Warbike + PK + DLS
9 x Warboss + Warbike + PK
1 x Big Mek + Warbike + KFF
2 x Painboy + Warbike
=1505

Now for something completely different, how about a -load of Fearless FNP Weirdboyz:
18 x Weirdboy (ML2)
1 x Mad Doc Grotsnik
1 x Big Mek + KFF
=1505

Oh Gork, that Warp'ead horde. :O I love it. Make them all use Malefic Daemonology and turn 'em into Greater Daemons.

Fateweaver, Bloodthirster, 2 Daemon Princes of Slaanesh, and a Greater Unclean One make about 1500 points

Catachan Forward Artillery Spotters - 17 Company Command Squads with a Master of Ordinance, 1 Company Command Squad with Master of Ordinance and Kurov's Aquila. Flyers will hurt. 2+ armor saves will hurt.

Everything else will vanish.

50 wolf guard battle leaders

9 IG company command squads packing 4 meltaguns each in a Chimera.

Gives you 9 AV12 vehicles sporting 18 anti-infantry heavy weapons, 36 BS4 Meltaguns with integral Orders, and 45 infantry, and each unit sports Ld9 (instead of 7 or 8 like other IG units)

There's even points left over

Eldar: Eldrad Ulthran, Avatar of Khaine, Farseers for days.

Bonus points if all kills are with psychic powers

Fateweaver, Be'lakor, 3 Nurgle Princes


Or a ton of Slaanesh Heralds on Chariots

Eldar Wraithseers as far as the eye can see....

Elysian drop troops: 6x CCS, each with 4x melta in a dedicated transport Valkyrie with rocket pods. You even have 120 points left over to upgrade some of the melta to plasma, buy lascannons for the Valkyries, etc.

I've been trying, rocket pods never give me the points back. Though with the extra 180pts you might be able to pump them up to D99 with BS4 Valkyries.
