I can't recall as i rarly use more than 4 troops

3 burnas wagons with 14 burnas and 1 mek with a shoota will sweep it off the table, maybe a Eldar wave serpent army or da dakka tide (though that will suffer from the hell drakes).

Otherwise good but boring

There is very very little that could take that. Most armies will never be able to kill that many models. That being said it has no AT and limited ability to hurt certain units. In objective based matches its tough to beat.

Yea, it is boring and struggles against mech-heavy armies, but there aren't many of those in 6th. As far as 3 burna wagons, that doesn't happen in 6th. Haven't seen 1 burna wagon in 6th...

IG Artillery..will give it a solid run ..but thats bout the only thing I can think of that will ..that or a Full Ork green Tide list (talk about your looong game ;o)

Couple of Manticores will soon sort that out...

Dedicated anti-horde army will defeat your horde army

No gak

Couple of manticores would be iffy at best. You have to kill over 270 models. best case they get 24 shots. properly spaced, that is around 192 hits, which is 160 dead dudes. That leaves 110 models.
On average you will get 16 shots which will yield around 128 hits and 107 dead models. That leaves 163 models. On the low end, they will get 8 shots which will get you around 64 hits and 54 dead models. Less than 2 of the 6 squads.

It is far from unbeatable, but it is not nearly as easy as you try to make it sound. This is a very scary list.

I can't help but think a unit of Lootas would go along way to helping stun/wreck some of the units capable of hurting the blobs.

My brother has ran a list of 180 zombies, 3 squads of havocs behind an aegis, 2 hekdrakes, and Typhus.

Let's just say, I couldn't kill them all. They just moved closer every turn and sat on any and all objectives they got to. I lost simply because I couldn't clear them off objectives fast enough. It's also a pain to deal with in Purge the Alien. So many bodies for 1 KP. Sigh.

He only played it once because neither player actually had fun, but it's competitive sadly enough.

Edit: Might have been 3 Heldrakes.
