The 500 Point Army List Challenge!

[thecactusman17]

So I'm trying to think some ideas out with the new Necrons.

Overlord with Scythe
Catacomb Command Barge

5 Warriors
5 Warriors

4 Scarabs
4 Scarabs
4 Scarabs

Can't argue against the CCB being the new Necron unit that everyone expects to see. And of course, the Warriors.

[Tynskel]

100 Librarian
–Sanguine Sword, Blood Lance
135 Assault Squad
–Meltagun, Powerfist
20 Razorback
125 Assault Squad
–Power Weapon, Combat Shield, Flamer
50 Sanguinary Priest
70 Land Speeder Tornado
–Heavy Flamer, Multi-Melta

[Happosai]

I'm thinking this might be decent.

Overlord - MSS

10 Warriors

9 Immortals - Tesla

Annihilation Barge

Total: 493

Overlord can go with either squad of troops for Res Orb fun, troops can sit on objectives and shoot opponents, Anni Barge runs around destroying troops/vehicles.

[Artanthos]

Hive Tyrant
. . lash whip, scything talons, wings, paroxym, psychic scream

Ymgarl x5

Genestealer x5
. . toxin sacs

Genestealer x5


Exactly 500 pts. This is a pure melee reserve list. Deny opponent two turns of shooting followed by a mad rush to assault. If I make to melee, not much is going to survive.

Two issues: You don't have a res orb, and also your Annihilation barge and reliance on tesla means that you can't kill any tanks except by glancing them to death. Not a good idea, IMO.

/facepalm

Wow... I wrote that this morning before coffee... blah. Looks like time to go back and re-work

To be fair though, I've had VERY good luck glancing tanks to death with an Anni Barge.

In any case, my post was full of fail... back to the drawing board

Going back and checking the list I made, it was actually an Overlord with Staff and Res Orb, not MSS. Apparently my fingers just decided to do their own thing.

Overlord - Orb

10 Warriors

9 Immortals - Tesla

Annihilation Barge, Gauss Cannon

Total: 493

Tesla Immortals due to move/shoot ability since I did not put a Veil Cryptek in the list. Anni Barge for flying around and killing troops/vehicles with a Gauss Cannon as secondary defensive weapon. Same initial plan with the Overload with a squad.

[Happosai]

Hmm, didn't mean to kill the thread

How do you think this would fare?

Overlord (Warscythe, Command Barge)
5 Immortals (Gauss)
5 Immortals (Tesla)
2 Tomb Blades (2 Nebuloscopes, 1 Twin-Linked Gauss Blaster, 1 Particle Beamer)
1 Annihilation Barge

Total: 500

Some one que the fight of the Valkyrie music and strap some surf board on the side of these bad boys
Guard drop troops
Company command squad two metla guns 70pts
2xveteran squad + two flamer’s 160 pts
3xValkyrie assault carrier 300pts
530pts

ok massively over points wise but you get the idea

[L192837465]

Inquisitor
as many purifiers as possible with as many psycannons can fit

Win.

you'd need crowe to qulify as troops (this still follow the standard the standard FOC) leave a massive 350pts to buy two troop squads so really wouldn't get much into the list. Five man squads with phycannons 140pts base leaving 70pts to give some extra members and a few upgrades, say two more body's with hammers leaving enough for six halberds. So one bad HQ with two small squads not really a winning army in my option.
