Warhammer 40k III - Hats for the Hat Throne

[Cheesegear]

Hmmm...

1 Grey Knight Grand Master. 145
1 Inquisitor Lord, 55 points of wargear. 100
1 Cullexus Assassin. 105.
4 Grey Knights, 2 Psycannons, Justicar. 200
4 Grey Knights, 2 Psycannons, Justicar. 200.
3 Grey Knight Land Raiders. 750.
1500 points, 16 models.

Emphasis mine. LOL.

[Wraith]

Although technically correct, I don't think that counts either For the record, my army list goes:

Grand Master
5x Terminators w/Brother Captain & Incinerator
Grey Knights w/Justicar & 2x Psycannon
Grey Knights w/Justicar & 2x Psycannon
Orbital Bombardment (Melta)
Total: 850ish

After kitting out the Grandmaster and Brother-Captain with wargear and psychic powers, it's as near 1000 points as I can afford to spend on models at the moment

[Erloas]

...Like I said; Tau Codex is the only one I don't have. I thought Kroot were better than that because of Hounds and/or...Whatever the big ones are. Don't they also have double-weapons or something? My guardsmen get eaten (literally!) by Kroot squads...What're you doing wrong?

The kroot hounds have I5 compared to the I3 of normal kroot. The kroot rifles count as 2 hand weapons for the extra attack, but hounds have 2 attacks base, so they have the same number of attacks. They both have the same WS, STR and T.
Against genestealers the kroot will get wasted because the stealers have I6, against Eldar it will get messy because they both go on I5 (except banshees, but their power weapon advantage is lost against kroot and hounds anyway). Against virtually everything else the kroot hounds will go first. I think you needed about 5-6 kroot hounds to generate the wounds needed to be able to survive the attacks back, and the normal kroot would pick up a few more kills afterwards.

Against anything with I3 or lower the kroot will come out well because of a lot of attacks and a decent WS and Str. They will generally kill enough that their wounds back, even with no armor, is still going to give them a good chance of winning. Without the hounds greater I to lessen the enemies' attacks the kroot will have problems against any other close combat based unit.

[Copper8642]

I played a game on VASSAL (awhile ago) where an observer told me "You need Banshee's, you have no CC units," to which I replied that I had Scorpions. He proceeded to tell me how bad Striking Scorpions were at CC. Frankly, the game proved him wrong.

The best way I can think to word it is that Assault Marines wish they were Scorpions. Sure, they have Jump Packs and T4, but between Infiltrate, an extra attack, I5, being cheaper, and the Exarch being way more epic than a Sergeant, do the Marines have hope?

To be honest, I guess it could be taken into account that one is Fast Attack and one is Elite, so depending on which other units you like, it may take up a slot you'd rather use for something else.

(Yes, I know that Banshees and Scorpions have completely different specialties. Just saying that this guy was wrong...

Someone was wrong on the internet. Scary, right?)

[Winterwind]

Considering the love just about all of the Eldar players on these boards have expressed for Striking Scorpions in the past, I don't think anybody here will contradict you.

[Copper8642]

For the record, aren't Assault Marines considered pretty sub-par anyways?

Edit: On a completely unrelated note, does anybody else find it... not unfluffy... maybe just... "wrong," that a Space Marine Captain/Chapter Master has higher WS than a Warboss. I think the Warboss should at least equal them, if not totally own (I am aware that his S, T, and A are pretty amazing in themselves, and his upgrade options can just make that better).

On that note, I do enjoy how the Avatar can outfight MOST demons (Bloodthirster still seems like it would take him). "I'm a big angry hate machine, I'll kill you because I'm angry!" "Ah, yes, but I'm pretty much a GOD OF WAR!" "Oh......"

[Cristo Meyers]

From the eyes of someone on the outside looking in, Assault marines only have two things going for them: speed and Deep Strike. Speed can be attained by mounting a regular squad in a Rhino and Terminators do Deep Strike better anyway since you can't assault the turn to Deep Strike in.

[EleventhHour]

Not really, a SMurf captain is a vetran of a few hundred years of combat, he probably knows every sword trick available and has fought almost every enemy out there a number of times, and won. The Ork wins his fight by being tougher than the other guy and clobbering him into the dirt and taking the returns head-on.

[Dorizzit]

Yeah. Weapon Skill is quite literally how good they are with a weapon. SMs are highly disciplined and spend absurd amounts of time practicing or actually fighting. Orks win more by outlasting and getting very powerful blows.

[Copper8642]

Makes sense, I guess. Da Warboss izn't too cunnin', but 'e's dead killy.

[YPU]

So I literally got butchered by the orks earlier today. Had a good time but since he was finally able to deploy the green tide he always wanted I was pretty much flushed. I did use the list I posed since I had no time to get any vets nor Kantor. I think it would have been moderately better if I had used the vindicator instead of the termies, since they never arrived as I was completely whipped on turn 4. the shame.

Anyhow, once this marine project is finished which should be quite soon, considering fielding all I have of marines would put me well past 15 I think. But I like to have some nice options.

Anyhow, I think that my next project will be a khornate deamon army. Probably going to experiment with dipping on this one doe to the large same colournes of bloodlethers.

Any suggestions on good list at 1000 and 15000 points? I was planning on going pure khorne as that would be far cheapest money wise, hhorne has the cheapest models that are the most point expansive when taken average.

I might just get the FW things tough.

[JMobius]

I hope that was a typo.

Guy I play against usually has at least one unit of 20 Bloodletters led by Skulltaker. It's brutal. He doesn't go pure Khorne, though, usually deploying at full unit of Plaguebearers and a unit of 3 Flamers (HATE!)

[YPU]

I hope that was a typo.

Freudian slip perhaps, but yes it was a typo.

1.75 euro/model 16 pts/model bloodletters
4.00 euro/model 15pts/model plaguebearers

Call me cheap but that’s a big difference there. Especially when fielding a full (20) squad.

I do have to say tough that feel no pain is very nice, as is T5. But if I take more then 1 power i would need to get a even split to be satified myself, just fluf wise, and that would cost a bit more considering.

Ah, I should've mentioned that his Plaguebearers were proxied by what appeared to be Chaos Beastmen with some mutations from the Chaos Mutations sprue.

[YPU]

Hey now, that’s not a bad idea. I only need some round bases, I’m savvy enough with greenstuffs and I like the beastmen plastics. I have some around, going to try that tomorrow. Tough they should get a single horn since that’s the pattern with nurgle. Green brown beastmen would also be a viable option for quickshading dip.

[Selrahc]

15000point demon list would be a big ask, since the most you can possibly get in a single force organization chart is less than half that.

[Wraith]

On a whim, I worked out the Eldar equivalent to such a list, and the result was surprisingly close (6800 and change, and a reasonably similar number of models).

Anyone else give it a try? It never occured to me that armies in 40k might be - in points costs - reasonably similar at maximum allocation. Maybe I'm just weird, but the concept intrigues me

[FlyingScanian]

...Like I said; Tau Codex is the only one I don't have. I thought Kroot were better than that because of Hounds and/or...Whatever the big ones are. Don't they also have double-weapons or something? My guardsmen get eaten (literally!) by Kroot squads...What're you doing wrong?

Not using them since I'm currently doing a heavily mechanized force?

Also, guardsmen get eaten by ANYTHING.

So...The base Troop in the Tau army has weapons almost as good as Heavy Bolters. Quit whinging.

1st, that wasn't suppose to sound like whining... sorry if it did. 2nd: They're not quite as good as bolters, that extra 6" range helps, as does AP4 But I'm not saying they're bad. I've killed all kinds of enemies (or, more precisely, Necrons, SoB, IG Grey Knights and other Tau, since that's what I've met) with massed pulse rifle fire. There is a reason the so called "fish of fury" was so godly in 4th Ed.

My problem is mostly that these "semi-heavy bolters" are on a platform that's almost as squishy as guardsmen (especially if said guardsmen are in cover, and why aren't they?), while nowhere as numerous (double the price in points, for a starter). But, ah, well, that's probably just me.

It's what I plan on doing for my lesser summoned daemons for my Chaos army when I get the free spending. Why spend more on 10-12 (admittedly cool looking) models that won't even get to use their actual statline when I could get all 20 in one fell swoop?

[YPU]

Ad in the lord macragge instead of a normal chapter master and you can ad another good 1500 to that as well.

EDIT @^ I lied, i already started on one and it seems to work out nicely right now. plasticard triangle blades work wonders here as well, they really point out what your going for. I might actually put up some pics tomorrow if it turn out ok.

[Narazil]

Ad in the lord macragge instead of a normal chapter master and you can ad another good 1500 to that as well.

Actually, he gives 700 extra. You may now take 3 Honor Guards, so another plus his 10 extra point cost, but only one Chapter Standard.
You can also take Chronus for another 75 points.

Edit: Sorry, that's excluding dedicated transport. 815 extra.

TOTAL: 10935 pts.

Technically, each of the Land Raiders and Rhinos could also have additional armour for 15 points, since it is not exclusive with daemonic possession, but since it would be perfectly pointless, I didn't count that. It's only 180 points, anyway.

So, it's quite a bit more for Chaos Space Marines than for Daemons or Eldar. Plus, they could take infinite amounts of further troops, since Lesser Summoned Daemons do not take up a slot in the AOP and have no 0-1 limitation, either.

[Penguinizer]

I'll give this a shot. I'm pretty sure that the IG can get some really expensive choices.

total: 200

The Entirety of Platoon 1: 2170 or so unless I counted wrong. Since one is a troop choice. I can take 6, removing 125 points from the rest since the first has Commander Chenkov. I can however add 70 after that to one squad, since one can take Captain Al'Rahem. Total cost for all 6 platoons: some 12465 points. I think I might overshoot the target.

Fast Attack:

Banewolf: 130
Hull Multi-melta: 15
Searchlight: 1
Pintlemounted Storm Bolter: 10
Hunterkiller Missile: 10
Dozer blade: 10
Extra Armor: 15
Total: 191
There are 3 of these in each Squadron, each taking one fast attack slot unless I'm mistaken. Total for 3 squadrons, containing 9 in all: 1719. I can also add Smoke-launchers and camonettings to each group for a total of 65 more points, bringing the total to 1784.

Heavy Support: 3x Leman Russ Squadron. Each containing 3 of the following:
Leman Russ Executioner: 190
Front-arc Lascannon: 15
Plasma cannon sponsons: 40
Pintlemounted Storm bolter: 10
Hunter-killer missile: 10
Dozer blade: 10
Extra Armor: 15

Adding Camo Netting to each squadron, one squadron comes to 890 points. 3 of these comes to 2670 points.

The grand total of the entire army-list is 20034 points. I believe I overshot the goal by 5034 points.

BEWARE, Massive wall of text.

The army-list contains roughly 641 models. It'd be fun to try to fit that to just about any gaming table.

[Narazil]

There's no limit on "May Take" items, either. So one Chapter Master with thousands of Aux. Grenade Launchers... >_>

[Selrahc]

On a whim, I worked out the Eldar equivalent to such a list, and the result was surprisingly close (6800 and change, and a reasonably similar number of models).

Anyone else give it a try? It never occured to me that armies in 40k might be - in points costs - reasonably similar at maximum allocation. Maybe I'm just weird, but the concept intrigues me

I think Daemons and Eldar will be about average in the totals.

The two biggest outliers in my estimation are Necrons and Chaos. Necrons lack wargear, whereas Chaos have wargear in abundance, unusual maximum squad numbers and high average unit costs.
Necrons-5145
Chaos-10085
I think the rest of the armies would fall in between those two. Chaos can technically have any number of points, since Lesser Daemons and Spawn both fall outside the force organization chart.

IMPERIAL GUARD GRAND TOTAL: 23794

I think IG wins.

Edit: I seem to have been ninjaed. Well, this is useful for comparing how much difference special characters make...

Edit 2: We seem to have arrived at different totals. At least one of us is wrong...

[Penguinizer]

I noticed at least one mistake. Only Commissars, Sergeants, and the commanders can take Power weapons.

I also forgot a lot of Chimeras silly me. I'll recalculate the total cost and add 2 chimeras to the Command Squads, and 6 to each Infantry Platoon (1 for the Command Squad, and ones for the infantry squads).

This adds another 4560 points, bringing it to somewhere around 24594. I think there may be an error or few around in there, but I think I got everything by the rules.

[Wraith]

That's not terribly surprising - Space Marines and Chaos Marines are relatively new Codices, so they're bound to have a lot more models available and accounted for in terms of equipment. I'd expect Imperial Guard to be the same, having had 2 new books in nearly 2 years.

[EDIT] Ninja'd! Imperial Guard are even more scary than I had first anticipated. Look at all those Heavy Weapons...

And here's the Eldar one, since I forgot last time (slightly altered to include transports, which I've only just noticed could be included:

Total: 7324 points

Technically the Eldar list could be a little bit more expensive (a mighty +40pts, no less!) if all of the Warlock took either the 'Enhance' or 'Conceal' powers instead of 'Destructor', but that wouldn't be particularly realistic because the effects they have don't stack. Either way,, I'm filled with an urge to build an army comprising entirely of Shining Spears and Dark Reapers - that looks like lots of Fun!
