    53 KB Three Unit Challenge Anonymous 03/27/11(Sun)16:41 No.14385127  
    So I was playing around with the free version of Army Builder making 40k armies, and learned that unless you pay for the full version you are limited to three units.

    This got me thinking: "Can I make a fun, playable list with just an HQ and two troops." so I gave myself a 2000 point limit to see what I could come up with. Then I also realized you guys may find this fun as well, so...

    the Three Unit Challenge.
    - Make a fun, playable army of any points limit you desire with only three units
    - the Army must be legal, stick to Force Organization

    I'll post my list in a moment

    pic unrelated, but no I don't.

    Would this list be effective? Hell no(11 models on the field, lol), but it might fuck with someone's head.

    Afraid guard is the way to go if you want to only have an Hq and 2 troops.

    You sit there, firing your guns the whole time while sending out the blob of 50 men. Then once they die, you send then back out and repeat.

    Or you change all the autocannons to power weapons, blob up the platoon squads, and you rush out with Straken, the 2 Platoon Command Squads, the 50 man blob, and the 2 30 man blobs with power weapons.

    I crunched the numbers, and I'm pretty sure this is the highest point cost you can get using the Codex. No comment on the fact it kinda sucks by not exploiting the Nob Biker's wound-allocation-equipment-shenanigans.

    You forgot to give more stuff to the Painboy. He only loses his weapons, not his access to other stuff (Like 'Eavy Armour)

    You could fit that into a 1500 point game if you took out the worthless 'eavy Armour on the bikers, and then a few pieces of equipment from each Nob to give them back the wound allocation trick.

    Just throwing it out there, it could actually be fun to run a tournament around this idea.

    alternatively, drop the plague monk for a barebones warplock engineer and increase the number of slaves to 917.

    >2000 point limit

    I can build a 1750 point Chaos list using 3 units.
    Here we go.

    Chaos Sorceror 100
    Mark of Tzeentch 30
    Gift of Chaos 30
    Wind of Chaos 30
    Disc of Tzeentch 30
    Plasma Pistol 15
    Melta Bombs, Familiar, Personal Icon 15
    Dedicated Transport Land Raider 220
    Daemonic Posession 20
    Havoc Launcher 15

    505 pts for HQ, moving on

    Troops: (x2)
    Thousand Sons x 19 437
    Aspiring Sorceror 60
    Wind of Chaos 30
    Rhino Extra Armor, Havoc Launcher, Daemonic Possession 85

    612 x 2 = 1224 + 505 = 1729

    I actually might be able to bump that up with regular CSM with Mark of Nurgle and full wargear. A less silly list would just have me maxing out CSM squads and running them in blobs. This is all from memory BTW, so points might be off on something. Imperial Guard is going to get closest to the 2K threshold with just troops and HQ. That or Nids.
    >> Anonymous 03/27/11(Sun)22:15 No.14388518
    Would a Blood Angels Honor Guard count as a second HQ?

    I wanted to put an HQ with an Honorguard for this challenge, but it says that for every HQ you can take an Honor Guard and it doesn't count as an HQ choice, but it is a separate unit.

    I know one anon in this thread said that even though Guard Platoons take up one slot on the FoC, they are multiple units and therefore don't count. So I'm not sure how to rule this for the challenge.
