Create your own army!

[Cheekie Monkie]

And now for something a little different...

Create your own army roster from all the different races! GUO with an Avatar? No problem! A lictor leading a space marine army? Why not!

Rules
1 Commander
Commander retains all inherent globals and wargear BUT,
May select ONE additional wargear and global from anywhere else

Maximum 4 units in T1
Must select units that would otherwise be available in T1 (So no terminators)
Must select an ordinary starting unit that would otherwise qualify as a starting unit (i.e. scouts, guardians, heretics...)

Maximum 4 units in T2
Must select units that would otherwise only be available in T2 (so no scouts)

Maximum 3 units in T3
Must select units that would otherwise only be available in T3 (so no scouts)


For example, I could make an Imperial themed army like so:

Commander
Inquisitor
Extra wargear: FC THUNDER HAMMER
Extra global: Webway gates - to represent the radical nature of my chosen inquisitor...and because they're cool.

T1
IST's
Tac marines
Heavy weapon squad
Interceptor squad

T2
SM librarian
GK librarian
Manticore
SM Dread

T3
Leman Russ
Karskins
GK termies

So just go nuts!

[Indrid]

Oh man, I was thinking of this exact same thing yesterday! I was gonna make a lulzy video on it. The rules I followed were:

You get 1 commander as-is.

Four T1 units including one starting unit in the game. For the other three units: a maximum of two of them can have a power cost.

T2 you can go nuts, but only two sub-commanders are allowed in the entire roster (T1 Painboy counts and so does T3 DoM). Max 6 choices. Can take global units (Autarch, Bane Wolf etc) as a choice.

T3 max of two vehicles and one SHI. Four choices in total.

I came up with: Plague Champion (of course!)

T1:
Inquisitorial ST
Howling Banshees
Havocs
ASM

T2:
Plasma Cannon
Weirdboy
Chimera
Plague Marines
Ogryns
SM Dreadnought

T3:
Chaos Predator
Paladins
Swarmlord
Kasrkin

[Kvek]

a power fist cl would be pretty nuts

[Torpid]

I'de rather have a blood maul mek any day. Weirdboy + banshee synergy too, yes please.

[Forestradio]

So the factions are basically taking a page out of the Blood Raven's book and stealing everything that isn't nailed down?

[Myrdal]

Commissar Lord
extra wargear: vox operator
extra global: dark excommunication

t1: optional
t2: optional
t3: nobs

liberal use of bionic eye execute + reinforce. Negate counters with flares and dark excom. Additional protection with fist of brock lesnar.

Apotho stays in ranged stance unless needed and then heavy melee ouches. Since he cant teleport for some reason. (lol)

[Nurland]

Of all the heavy melee weapons you chose the weakest one? Or do you mean he has the regular deathspinners as well?

[HandSome SoddiNg]

T1 Force commander
Purifier brotherhood champion
Chaplin



T2 Vanguard veterans
Sternguard veterans
Interceptors
GK Dreadnought



T3 Primarchs!!!

[Kvek]

Didn't know these two t1 units exist, and vanguards are in t3 rite ?:P

[Lulgrim]

Chaplin

[Torpid]

Lol... That smirk.

[Forestradio]

Clearly an avatar of Tzeentch who just executed a clever plan.

[Black Relic]

Of all the heavy melee weapons you chose the weakest one? Or do you mean he has the regular deathspinners as well?

death spinner as well. since thats how warp spider is. He has ranged and then gets a melee weapon that does heavy melee. What Id want for Apotho. So he can sit pretty healing, deal decent ranged dps, and do heavy melee damage for the transports and low hp vehicles.

Not a good choice?

[Nurland]

Well probably not a bad weapon but 25dps is not that much ranged dps later on in the game so i would probably go for a more powerful melee or ranged weapon.

Always imagined Imperium as a faction, where the power of Space Marines is really where it should be so they are in very limited numbers amongst swarms of Guard.

HQ
- Lord General with upgrade for Space Marine Company Champion retinue member.

Tier 1:
- Guardsmen
- Heavy Weapons Team
- Sentinel (Plays more of a mobility scout role)
- Space Marine sniper (Think the Horus Heresy era Recon snipers, but one man squad)

Tier 2:
- Chimera, no mobile base upgrade but a Hellhound one instead
- Anti vehicle IG Veterans
- Manticore
- Tactical Marines (funtion more on Sternguard levels)

Tier 3:
- Kasrkin
- Leman Russ
- Chaplain
- Venerable Dreadnough super unit

[Atlas]

Oh wow that necro.

HQ:
-Brother Captain, replace DeamonHammer with Heavy Gauge Death Spinner. Replace Hellfury Strike with Angels of Death.

T1:
-Sluggas
-Operatives
-Guardian Weapon Team
-Assault Marines

T2:
-Razorback
-Vindicare Assassin
-Zoanthrope
-Warp Spiders

I am no newcomer who decided to type two strings of text in a topic that has been quiet for years. The definition you used is insulting and reserved for specific kind of posters/occasions on forums.

You having a giggle?

[Sub_Zero]

It is a common case when a new user registers on a forum and then starts scrolling all its pages and finding interesting for him topics. Then he gives a quick response to each of them. It looks annoying to every active member of the forum because his post has little to no contribution to the discussion, the discussion will most likely suffocate and be buried again, his post only floods the main page of active topics, that is why there is that reserved name (necro or whatever variation of it you, lovely inhabitants of the Internet, prefer) for newcomers who do that (I've seen plenty).
Another case is when it's done purposely by an already old and active member just to have fun.
Neither of this was the case here. I gave valid reasoning I want to revive this thread. Maybe some people will share their ideas too. And it is especially interesting now because a lot of changes happened and my post didn't contain of two strings of text, It was completely relevant to the "discussion". This kind of discussion never gets irrelevant because people just throw their ideas and everyone who is interested in that opens the topic and reads it. Hence I had my right to be insulted by that and declare it in everyone's hearing.

Now I expect your apologies. But I am 100% certain that none of you actually is capable of doing that, you will just ignore it at best.

P. S. Go ahead and call an adult a pedophile when he gives a candy to a child - "oh wow that pedo"

[Cyris]

Sub_Zero, I think you go through life looking to be pissed off.

Necroing is pretty common slang for reviving a thread. I have never considered it to have an inherent negative connotation, and Atlas clearly didn't in context. He immediately proceeded to join in on the topic, it's pretty clear he meant it neutrally or positively. Stop trying to make drama where it is none. Instead, note that this thread was successfully necroed by you, and now has posts of people adding new armies! Be proud! In fact, the only negativity is coming from you.

Here is the time I necroed a thread, and called in necroing, in a fully positive manner:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1321&p=38274&hilit=necro#p38274

Here are other people using the word in a neutral or positive light. Note that in each, the thread continued happily:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=962&p=40077&hilit=necro#p40077
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=990&p=35053&hilit=necro#p35053
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=78&p=14796&hilit=necro#p14796

Edit:

Commander:
BC (mainly cause I'm most comfortable with him)

T1:
Guardsmen
Heretics
Operatives
Raptors

T2:
Blood Crusher
Trukk
Vindicare Assassin
Fire Dragons
T3:
Russ
Paladins
LRR

I tried to make a super aggro rushdown 1v1 army. Guardsmen plus heretics allow for varied light power T1 play, both of which can repair the BC in T2. Trukk is crazy cheap T2 reinforcement, alowing GM to turn super tanky. Operatives are overpowered and Raptors provide disruption and T2 soft AV. This all leads to a super aggressive early play, threatening wipes with heretics and Operatives. As you enter T2 you can go infinite with the aggro with a Trukk, turn tics into nade launchers to transfer out of melee rushdown, BC to pressure tech advantage or VA to just turn super efficient. Not sure what to pick up for the last T2 option though... I think a cheap AV option, or something to keep aggro going. Maybe firedragons? T3 is EZ mode. If you can get our Paladins and a LRR, retreat + %heal aura are nuts, and Russ is the best tank by far. Add on the GM's repair bonus, and you're in a great place.

Other variations on this themes would be GM plus Hormagaunts, Warriors and a Jump troop into Trukk. Super efficient rushdown! Globals are a consideration. Deff Dread could work too for the T2 quick bash, though I think BC retains value for longer.

What's up your but Sub? °_O

[Swift]

Sub Zero, BBBOS is actually an active contributer to the community, come by his twitch stream every now and then and have a look. As for an apology, you revived the thread, it's not like he revived it just to troll.
