Stupid Army Lists! 40K Edition

2 Battalion Detachments of the following:
1 Company Commander
2 Commissars
6 units of Conscripts at 50 flashlights per blob
1,984 points.

>2 Stompas
>1,954 points

>>54112328

> Chaos Army
> Nothing but Cultists, as in, no Chaos Marines, no Daemons, just a horde of Cultists large enough to frequently outnumber Tyranids, as many boots on the battlefield as possible.

You'd be surprised how effective shitty units can be in large enough numbers. I'm thinking of going Ork and using a nigh infinite Grot Swarm.

>>54113210
No shit. This here is proof >>54112946
That shit is 618 Wounds to scrape off the board with 606 models total.
At 1 square inch per model, I don't even think that this could possibly fit most tables, let alone the deployment zone!

>>54113286
Lets assume this is Dawn of War deployment on a 6'x4' table.
You have a 6'x2' deployment zone. This is approximately 1728 square inches.
He could fit nearly three of these in this deployment zone.

Is this actually viable?

>>54113848
I rate this as 4 out of 5 Virus Bombings!

>>54113928
Fuck

What heavy weapons are best to take for guardsmen, particularly for Krieg? Autocannons are always bretty gud, but did mortars get better?

>>54113970
Mortars are good for squads that have to camp the objective while staying hidden from LOS

>>54113928
Last time i checked it said one model in the unit may throw one grenade.

>>54114481
The "Granade 1" gets changed into "Assault 1", losing all restrictions
The only downside is that melee weapons are useless because they become assault too and they have 0" range

>>54113848
ita beautiful but you wont win anything with it. sad.

>>54112328
"Imperium" should NOT be a viable keyword for a detatchment

If 8th is similar to any previous edition, it is 3rd, and just like in 3rd, Imperial-Guard Infantry-Horde is absolutely BROKEN on paper.

HOWEVER, for all practical purposes, infantry hordes of that size are completely useless.

They are no good for friendly games, because they are no fun to play, and no fun to play against. The mere act of moving all of those guardsmen into formation is so tedious as to make it not a game any more. Nobody will want to play with you.

>But anon, it's a WAAC list for tournaments.

Maybe on paper, but not in practice. Every tournament I've been to has a time limit on games, and good fucking luck actually finishing a game within that time limit with all those individual doods. If you don't finish any of your matches, good luck placing with the scoring system most tournaments use.

They can't even play friendly games
They can't win tournaments

What are they good for?

Can someone help me out here? I played a game against a Thousand Sons player earlier and got absolutely destroyed, but when I read through the Chaos index later I didn't see half of the shit that he was talking about or if I did the way he thought the rules worked were just plain WRONG.

And some of them I can't even find where he got them at all...

for example:

Death to the False Emperor is only supposed to happen on a roll of 6+. He was claiming it every time he hit.

He was claiming a 4++ on all his units, and I cannot find any reason for this in the rules. Tzeentch favoured seem to get 5++, but not 4++.

In addition he was re-rolling all saving throws of 1 on his tzeentch terminators when in 6'' of Ahriman (and across the board from Ahriman before I politely called him on it)... but you're only supposed to re-roll invulnerable saves. So we were only wounding these terminators on double rolls of 1s, basically.

The last thing I can think of is he for some reason had the idea that by putting his sorcerers on a disc it improved their invulnerable save by 1 by giving them the daemon keyword. Furthermore, since he claimed that the invuln was 4++ instead of 5++, this made their invulns 3++.

So what gives? Does this guy just not know his own army's rules or is there some rule I'm not seeing?

I know some of his rules were just plain wrong, but I'm wondering about the daemons and the discs and the 5++ vs the 4++.

Anyone have any insight?

Death to the False Emperor does indeed only work on rolls of 6+.

Rubrics and Scarab Occult do indeed only have a 5++, but they also have the "All is Dust" rule which improves their saving throws by one against weapons which only do 1 damage. Both armor saves and Invulns are a saving throw, so he would get a 4++ against small arms fire and light heavy weapons. Sorcs DO NOT have All is Dust though. Ahriman naturally has a 4++.

Disc does not improve your save. What he's doing is because the Sorc has the Tzeentch tag and the Disc gives him the Daemon tag he's applying the special rule "Ephemeral Form" which improves saves for Tzeentch Daemons from the Chaos Daemons army list. It doesn't work on the Sorc however because although he gains Daemon, he does NOT gain the "Ephemeral Form" rule like true Tzeentch Daemons. So without Ephermal Form or All is Dust the Exalted Sorc is just a 5++, period. Being a "Daemon" doesn't come with rules anymore, it's just a tag. Finally, you are correct about the re-rolls. Only invulns.

There are grains of truth to most of what your opponent did but their grasp of the rules can be at best called "loose". It kinda looks like he read all the rules that apply to Tzeentch models or Tzeentch daemons and applied them to every body without regard for the proper restrictions or how the rules actually say they work. So cheating like mad, but with a bit of plausible deniability to say he "misread the rule" if he gets caught.

This was my planned "joke army" for 7th, post Traitor Legions. Called "Walking Cathedral", since it used the Warpack to make the Defiler my Warlord, potentially turning it into a ML 1 Psyker. (Warlord Psyker Defiler).

A "more serious" build could swap out the Herald and Horrors for a 3rd Forgefiend, but I liked having access to Prescience, Paradox and Flickerfire.

>>54133985
I love you anon.

>>54133541
The list was wrong, can only have 3 detachments. So merging the two Tyranid specific lists into one brigade and losing 3CP to still be disgusting.

>>54133828
Yea Templars and marines are in a good spot even without CT.

What was your list like?

>>54135294
Yeah, I realized my mistake far too late. Either way condensing that list into 3 detachments proper still makes for an interesting army in casual. Definitely not a WAAC kind of build, but feels like it'd be fun.

>>54113848
How do you plan to kill tanks other than mobbing them down forev- oh. Right.
