What if Objectives didn't matter and FOC and one Codex weren't a restriction?

What if you could build an army comprised of any units/heroes/vehicles from any and all codexes and FOC slots weren't an issue and the game was played as total destruction of the enemy, as opposed to Objectives?

What kind of army would you build?

(You'd still have to abide by points cost, and you'd still have to abide by the codex entry stats for the unit/hero/vehicle.)

Welcome to 2nd edition...the land of Blood Angels armies that were mostly made up of Eldar special characters with a few death company thrown in for fun or Imperial Guard armies with no actual IG troopers in them.

Skriker

A full army of Obliterators of Nurgle.
Only units of 1; in a very apocalypse way.

Would probably loose to some specific builds, but otherwise gives good resilience/flexibility (and who cares if they're slow if there are no objectives to grab).

Every Space Marine special character, backed up by nothing but Honour Guard and Terminators of varying flavours. Deep strike the entire army in Thunderhawks and Storm Ravens, using the Grey Knights as meat shields and various Titans as heavy support.

The best part about this, is it'll be legal under the next C:SM.

An army composed entirely of manticores with Grey Knights defending against any chargers. Vendettas would take care of any fliers trying to ruin my pie plate party. I don't expect such an army to do well but massed artillery like that is too good to pass up.

thats the bigger reason for objectives, it made us need to worry about troops rather than big toys

What would i take as orks?
Lootas behind a bazillion Kannon batteries. Deal with T7 grots and a TON of heavy long-range fire....cmon i dare you DEAL WITH IT

So... you are pretty much talking about Apocalypse.

Problem with apoc is you still need to get atleast some sort of force org going on. Theres so much stuff that just insta-pastes half your army if you dont watch it that you cant just mass something.

Power armored Daemon Princes or heavy coven list with only Taloi, cronies and grotesques

An army of Chapter Masters and IG Masters of Ordanance, then just rain down orbital death.

I like this guy.

Too bad you have to buy CCS's to get those masters of ordnance.

Shokk Attack Gun spam.

Many Masters of the Forge with Conversion Beamers, a bunch of Thunderfire Cannons, Dark Angels Devastators with Flakk missiles, and Storm Eagles for air support.

An army of lucius pattern dread drop pods crammed with Bjorn / Ashmantle / Death Company / Furiosos / Librarians / Contemptor dreads.

Drop -> Shoot -> Assault -> Laugh -> Your turn.

Heldrakes. Heldrakes everywhere.

3500pts worth of Death Company with 5 Reclusiarches and 20 Dreads.

Blood Talons.

An army of Marbo's.

TH/SS Termies.

3 of every tank there is.

In a 2000 point match? I'll take 32 Marbo's, please.

Marbo is unique.

Tremble before the might of Imotekh and this all-Doom-Scythe army!

Or Yarrick, Marbo and a lot of Vendettas

Doesn't Marbo start in Reserve, thus causing you to lose the game turn 1

Fair enough... 31 Marbos and demon of some sort (to gain immunity from this rule).

Jetlock councils everywhere.

And if unique isn't an issue, then also some footseer councils so I can spam Eldrad.

I would make an army of CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTERS each filled with more CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTERS!!!!!

Even the Emperor would fear me...
