I'm currently working on a Tau Battlesuit army of 14 Crisis suits, 2 Riptides a commander and a few drones. So roughly 20 models in a 1500pt game, this got me wondering: What are the smallest armies available in 40k currently?
One of best examples was the Grey Knight Paladin army but that is no longer an option. I'm looking for 1500pt armies preferably without using the unbound rules to such an extent that no one would want to play it (for example an army of riptides).

An army consisting entirely of Land Raiders, Wraithknights, or some other kitted out MCs.
Edit: Nvm, just skimmed over the last sentence.
1 Spiritseer
2x 6 Wraithguard with d-scythes
3x Wraithknight w/ Suncannon and Shield and Scatter Laser.
Throw some random artifact on the Seer to fill out the last few points and you're set. 16 models at 1500.Last edited by Archon Charybdis; 03-10-2015 at 08:38 PM.

The pure GK lists I'm playing around with come in around 20 models. Ballpark 15-20 Terminators, 2-3 Dreadknights, and a couple of ICs.

The smallest army currently available in 40k is the Imperial Knights, which has only 2 units. At 1500, you field 4, and at 1850 you can field 5. Pretty hard to get lower.

Suppose Deathwing could be mentioned here as well. Granted, Imperial Knights takes the cake, but Deathwing could be 32 models (6 x 5 terminators, Belial & Librarian or Chaplain). Less if you run Deathwing Knights and/or Land raiders as dedicated transport. (3 x 5 terminators, 1 x 5 DW Knights, Belial, Librarian, 2 Land raiders; 24 models @ ~1850)

Unbound army of one Ork Warboss.
You didn't say we had to get anywhere near the points limit.
