Alright. Here's a quick 40k Army building challenge for you.

You need to build a viable Veiled Blade Elimination Force Detachment for Imperial Agents.

You must use all 4 Assassins and their upgrade costs, which currently eats up 565 Points.

The list can be 1000, 1500, or 2000 points.

Good Luck!

Question:
Who decides if the submitted list is viable?

You do, since you're the one who inspired this thread, and you are the only response so far.

So... congratulations!

Well in that case....

Any list is viable - so long as it's accomplishing it's owners/posters goals.
For ex: my own Agents list is just an excuse to field 3 Blackstars (and other weird stuff). That won't change by requiring me to spend 565 points on assassins. If it wins any games? That's just a bonus.

My idea of viable is: "will this be fun to field?"

My Veiled Blade Elimination Force (2k pts)
Objectives:
* put the 4 Assassins & their upgrades on the table.
* run my 3 Bkackstars
* run other weird stuff others dont/won't.

List:
565 pts - all 4 Assassins + upgrades.

540 pts - 3x Blackstars (TL lascannon, Hell Strike missiles, Hurricane Bolter)

150 pts - 2x Rhinos (SB & HK Missle)

160 pts - 4x Deamon Hosts (1 unit of 2. & 2 solo)

200 pts - 2x Sisters of Battle squads (plasma pistol, power sword, MM, Meltagun, Simulacrum)

60 pts - 2x Jokearos

130 pts - Hellvern (+ melta gun)

140 pts - Warglaive (+ melta gun)

55 pts - UR-025 (the warlord for this force)

This force is a bit lighter on the anti-tank than I usually run in my local meta.

I'll let you all parse out how you think this plays.

Since UR-025 is your Warlord, I know it's gonna be a fun list, in which your opponent will say things like, "Huh?" and "What army is this?"

I can come up with anything but all assassin's with ench, watch master and 3 death watch kill team all hammer + PW and shields in rhinos
