Post your current/favorite 40K army lists here.
I will post a whole shitload with some tactics coming up in the next few days, but post and chat and stuff as well.
Just follow GW policy for points posting and everything will be fine.

Well, once upon a time I did have a very potent Eldar force that I built in conjunction with a friend... This may be inaccurate as its been a while

My force (Rogue Trader/EARLY 2nd Ed builds)

30 Guardians + 3 anti-grav weapons platforms
12 Swooping Hawks + Exarch
12 Howling Banshees + Exarch + Jain T'zar
12 Striking Scorpions + Exarch
9 Dark Reapers
5 Warp Spiders + Exarch + Phoenix Lord
Avatar
Dreadnought

Friends force

~30 Guardians + anti-grav weapon platforms
12 Striking Scorpions + Exarch
12 Warp Spiders + Exarch + Phoenix Lord
~25 Harlequins + many specials (death jesters, solitaires)
12 Harlequins on Jetbikes + Harlequin Lord on Jetbike
Avatar
Dreadnought
Warwalker
Many many many Warlocks and Farseers

That army racked in at about 15,000 2nd ed points when it was kitted out and combined. Bwahahahahahhaha!

Necron Lord
2 squads of 10 Necron Warriors
3 Necron Destroyers
5 Scarab Bases

About 1200points. I hardly ever have battles larger than 1000, to be honest.

I've got a pair of tomb spiders somewhere, but I've not got round to assembling or painting them yet

Ando, I hate to say this, but: waa? That's insane! Especially considering my knowledge of what things were like back in the days of Rogue Trader.

Tell me, Gaius...Do you hold a little funeral for each casualty as well?

You know it.

If I'm playing my Guard I grab the nearest object and pretend it's a vox, screaming "WE LOST PENDERSON! I SAY AGAIN, PENDERSON'S GONE! HE'S FUCKING GONE!"

Sr.mal · Post by **Sr.mal** » 2005-07-04 01:40pm

OH man I have a huge Irons hands force:

2 Command squads with 7 marines and a Commander, chaplain, and librarian each.

10 terminators

2 Venerable dreadnaughts

4 10 man tac squads with either flamer or melta gun.

30 assault marines

predator anihillator

Land raider crusader

Vindicator.

If I were to add in my grey knight I would need about 2 force orgs.

(<------ Just realizes how much time and money he spends on this hobby and begins to weep)

Post by **weemadando** » 2005-07-04 07:29pm

You know what I miss?

First Company forces.

Doesn't matter which chapter - but its a force where the weakest link is a fucking Terminator... They were fun.

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2005-07-04 08:08pm

Let's see, I quite back in 2nd Edition, but I did have quite a nice combined force, I used the White Dwarf rules to create my own Chapter Master who could go into a mass combat with genestealers hand to hand and come out the far side.

Space Marines:

Chapter Master
1 Terminator Captain
1 Terminator Librarian
1 Terminator Chaplin

2 Captains
2 Librarians
2 Chaplins
2 Tech Marines

2 Dreadnaughts
2 Landspeeders
3 Bike Squads with Heavy Weapon bikes
1 Predator
2 Rhinos

3 Terminator Squads
4 Tactical Squads
2 Assault Squads (1 with Jump packs)
2 Devestator Squads
2 Scout Squads

Imperial Guard
2 Command Squads
2 Infantry Squads
2 Heavy Weapon Squads
1 Squad Ratling Snipers
1 Squad Rough Riders

1 Basilisk
1 Chimera
1 Leman Russ
2 Sentinels

Other
1 Terminator Inquisitor
2 Inquisitors
1 Calidus
1 Vindicator
1 (forget the name of the kind, assassin)

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but it's a fairly hefty force whichever way you cut it.

I think that's Everything, but I've probably missed something somewhere along the line.
Blood Angels come out somewhere between 10,000-12,000 Points IIRC
Eldar 5,000-7,000
IG ~3,000
Sisters Of Battle 1,500

I could probably Squeeze a legal 20,000 point army out of it if I had the urge to play a massive game of 40K.

I just helped a 40k newbie do his first plastic Necron Warriors, and they're the same basic formula as Imperial Guardsmen. The trick is to find friendly plastic glue; I recommend Testor's plastic glue that comes in little orange tubes. It's lenient enough to let you position the pieces while they're curing, so you can get all three pieces (left arm, gun arm, and body) lined up properly.

Acidburns · Post by **Acidburns** » 2005-07-17 03:21pm

I havn't played 40K for several years now, but here's my last Caledonian Conflict Tournament army (with a couple of pics...). Im working from memory, and dont have books so unit costs wont be listed.

Finished 2nd place too!

The Iyanden Craftworld was decimated by a Hive Fleet, and uses more Wraith units than other Eldar armys. In the 1,500pt army, I have only 3 living models. The Farseer, 2 spiritseers using warlock models. I converted the warwalkers with wraithlord "Heads" (Which look awesome). The tiny spiritseer/wraithunit is an ancient GW model. Simply added a sword and he was rdy to go!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b384/ ... lar/P3.jpg The 2 units on the left are war walker conversions. Right is Wraithlord conversion.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b384/ ... lar/P2.jpg Farseer conversion (left) Spiritseer conversion (right)
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b384/ ... lar/P1.jpg

Yes, those wraithlords are troop choices.

Army Roster

1500pts

Iyanden Craftworld Army

HQ

Farseer (Spirit Stones, Singing Spear, Fortune, Guide)

3 Spiritseers (3 witchblades, 2 w/ conceal and 1 w/ enhance)

Troops

5 Wraithgaurd
5 Wraithgaurd
5 Wraithgaurd

1 Wraithlord (Starcannon, 2 flamers)
1 Wraithlord (Starcannon, 2 flamers)
1 Wraithlord (Brightlance, 2 flamers)

Heavy Support

1 Warwalker (2 brightlances)
2 Warwalker (4 Starcannons)

Tactics

Generally speaking:

When fighting a ranged army I advanced with everything, guided the unit of 2 war walkers, and mowed em down with starcannons till I got into CC with the Wraithlords.

Against any close combat army I usually took cover, and blasted anything that could be dangerous to the wraithlords with ranged, then let the wraithlords squash what was left.
