Well. This thread has almost no redeeming value at all.

Give me the most points expensive, yet still legal unit for your respective armies.

Yep. Inefficiency is our goal.

JuliusGaiusCaesar · February 18th, 2006, 02:34

I think you called it earlier, Grey.

1X Chaos Lord - 301 points
Mark of Tzeentch, Familiar, Bolt of Change, Mass Mutation, Disc of Tzeentch, Eye of Tzeentch, Daemonic Aura, Daemon Armour, Daemonic Visage, Pair of Lightning Claws + Bolt Pistol, Inferno Bolts, Master crafted, spiky bits, Personal Icon, Teleport Homer, Melta Bombs, bionics.

And his retinue -
19 Chosen, all as follows - 192 points per model, grand totel of 3648 points.
Aspiring Champion upgrade, Mark of Tzeentch, Familiar, Bolt of Change; Gift of Chaos, Daemonic Flight, Daemonic Mutation, Daemonic Aura, Daemon Armour, Daemonic Strength, Powerfist + Power weapon, MC the Powerfist, Spiky Bits, Melta bombs. Throw in a Blasted Standard, while you're at it.

All together, that's 20 models in a unit that costs 3,999 points. And that's without cheesing the Minor Powers infinitely. (I'm looking at you, Eldar players!)

Grey · February 18th, 2006, 02:55

Yeah I kinda figured it would be Chaos, but its a disturbingly fun little bit of number crunching none the less.

EDIT:

1 Kult of Speed Warboss with: Mega Armour, Cybork Body, 3 Attack Squigs, Big Shoota, Mega Boosta leading:

10 Nobs: Mega Armour, Cybork Body, 3 Attack Squigs each, Big Shoota, Mega Boosta(Not sure about the Cybork body as it says you can't take any bionics in Mega armour, but cybork is maybe different?)

2 Mekboyz: Kustom Force Field, Mekboy Tools, 3 Grot Oilers each

2 Mad Doks: Dok Tools, 3 Grot Orderlies each, Urty Syringe, Big Shootas, Tank Busta Bombs all 'riding' in:

1 Battlewagon transport with: 2 twin linked Big Shootas, Zzap gun, 5 Bolt-on Big Shootas, Armour Plates, Big grabber, Boarding Plank, Grot Riggers, Red Paint Job, Reinforced Ram, Searchlight, Spikes and Blades, Stickbomb Chucka, Turbo Boosta, Wrecking Ball, Forcefield

1587 pts I think.

grand master · February 18th, 2006, 18:37

Alright, I modified the chosen unit i came up with.

Chosen
40x man
All AC
All have: MoK, termie armour, mutation, rune, resilience, strength, spawn, visage, feel no pain, banner of rage, furious charge, and pair of lightning claws.

Points per model: 191
Points for unit: 7640

On the charge, this unit would have 540 attacks (including their banner of rage) at S6 I5 with rerolls to wound and then there's the spawn. This unit could kill just about anything (except vehicles).

Guard? Your joking right?
Space Marine? Are you kidding?
Got a genestealer problem? Not any more.
Grey Knights? You make me laugh.
Necrons? Nope.
Greater Demon? Even these guys could kill it.

This squad would be able to wipe out an entire army by itself, only AV13 and 14 need not fear their wrath. If only they could have essence.

EDIT: Changed squad number from 20 to 40.

Obsidian · February 18th, 2006, 18:43

im not sure about the exact points cost, or the unit, but I remember that someone came up with a 16,000 point chaos squad in a thread simialr to this, but as i said i don't know for sure.

Probally maximum amount of chosen in a large game with maximum wargear possible.

impending slaughter · February 19th, 2006, 00:33

Dont have the codex on me so I cant work out a squad, but the seer council has no upper limit on warlocks...
