40K Army: Other

Hello all!

SOme people I know are doing a little tournament with one HQ choice that is no more than 150 pts and cannot be a 'unique' named characters. Space wolves or daemonic heralds can only take one model (not the two they are normally allowed!).

I wondered what stuff you guys could come up with. I got:

Chaos Lord, Mark of Khorne, Daemon Weapon for 140 points!

[The French Guy]

Hi,
I don't have my codex with me but I believe a Necron Overlord with warscythe, MSS and phase shifter should be around 150pts and could give some serious headache to other HQ!

[toxic_wisdom]

Will look twice at the points, but should be able to go with...

DE Archon with Agoniser and Djinn Blade, CDs and Shadowfield

[FireAllMarkerlights]

Hi there!! Tau representing with:
Shas'o Battlesuit Commander w/ Twin linked Fusion Blaster, Missle Pod, Multi-Tracker, Stimulant injection and 2 shield drones.

[1 ++]

Archon w/ Blaster, Agoniser, Shadowfield, Ghostplate, Combat Drugs - 145 BRING IT!

[Pawn of Decay]

A Blood Angels Librarian with Terminator Armour, Storm Shield, Unleash Rage and the Power that makes him strengh 10

How far away do we start, and how large is the table? I feel these are very important factors for determining your strategy. If you start 20+ inches apart, you will have a tough time beating a tau kiting I think, so things like jet packs and bikes become just as important as melee killing capacity.

I'd definetly be tempted to go with a space marine chapter master, just to try to kill them with an orbital strike :P

[Kadris]

if it is HQ choice I'd look at a necron lord (royal court) with warscythe, MSS, Phase Shifter, Res orb. if the entry that to take a court you must have the overlord types then thats kinda sunk. An overlord with a scythe and phase shifter is 145, so cant get the MSS with it unfortunatly.

Company command squad with a chimera and 3 plasma rifles.

[Arhurt]

Necron Overlord with Warscythe, Mindshackle scarabs, Tesseract Labirinth, Sempiternal Weave.

Let his HQ hurt himself with MSS and then just tesseract labirinth his ass into oblivion.

[harlekin]

For Tyranids: A completely kitted out tyranidprime,including all biomorphs such as toxinsacs adrenagland and regeneration, LW/BS and scything talons. thats 130 pts. I think.
Not that Nidz would have much choice :P.

[Bunnahabhain]

Bringing in FW, there are various command Russes that can come in at 150pts....

[Axeman1n]

150 is a bit limiting for my Tzeentch Sorcerer. It's probably just going to go to the GK Grand Master with all the right fix'ns.

[lantzkev]

cept grandmaster is 175 right off the bat.

[The Marshel]

Lot of people coming up with totals of 140 or 145. Surely there are some silly little 5 point upgrades you can fill those gaps with? better spent then not

[lantzkev]

grey knight brotherhood champion 120pts lol

[Dot]

Imperial guard Company Command Squad with 4 plasma guns and a Master of Ordnance.

[stereynolds]

Company command squad with a chimera and 3 plasma rifles.

Wheres the like button :P

[Sami]

1x each Court of the Archon + Venom (2x Splinter Cannons, Night Shields) = 150 points
1x each Court of the Archon + Raider (Flickerfield, Shock Prow) = 150 points

Court requires you to take one of each model (Lhamaean, Medusae, Sslyth and Ur-Ghul) to be legal. Granted it also requires an Archon in order to be taken (similar restrictions on the Royal Court requiring another HQ choice first).

[Blademeister]

I would probably use a Blood Angels Librarian with Unleash rage or Might of heroes, and Sword of Sanguine. Then I would take Epistolary, so he can use both in one turn. 150 points right there with some serious killing power.
