******THIS IS A DOUBLE POST!!!****************
(sry, the board gave me some wierd message so I pressed submit again =[ )
So, I was thinking about how sweet it would be to have a grot army, and how much trouble many armies have dealing with just masses and masses of guys; so I came up with an Idea for an army which I think may be workable (at least it would completely thrash some armies...)
HQ:
GROT COMMANDER (aka. warboss)
power claw, choppa
87 points.:yes:
TROOPS:
Da Boyz (gretchin mob)
28 gretchin
(grot) slaver w/ power claw slugga
119 pts
*6 (5 more mobs of the above)
= 714 pts
HEAVY SUPPORT:
dakka dakka (big gunz mob)
3 lobbas with 3 extra crew
99 pts
*2
=198 pts
TOTAL = 999 pts
193 models...
So a couple of reasons why i think this army would be amazingly cool
1) cmon... AN ARMY OF GROTS!! HOW FREAKIN AWESOME IS THAT!
2) grots are hella cheap in ebay, this army would run under 100$ I think (if any of you start outbidding me on ebay gretchin I'm gonna kill you...)
3) You get to model grot slavers and a grot warlord AND give them power claws...
Now for the tactical reasons why this would be good
1) Your opponent would have nothing worthwhile to shoot... He can't target slavers... Your lobbas are behind cover... So he gets to blaze down your grots with his lascannons...
2) Once in combat your slavers would be able to wreak havoc, and it would take FOREVER to kill enough grots to get to the slavers (plus you would always outnumber your enemy like 4-1 in combat)
3) You would get to roll a ton of dice... sooner or later something would have to die
4) Most battles aren't about killing the enemy, they're about securing the objective, how could you not secure the objective with this many models....
I think that this army would be completely amazing, however I posted this list looking for feedback. I would rather not get "THIS ARMY SUCKS YOU ARE AN IDIOT," but would prefer constructive criticism. That's not to say you can't point out major flaws in the army, but please explain the flaw instead of just saying the list sucks.
Now the idea is to play this against balanced normal armies... I recognize that an armoured company would take this list to town. But for each armoured company list I play there will probably be a lascannon happy spacemarine army that I can wipe the floor with.
I recognize that I have pretty much no anti-tank weapons in my army, but all anti-tank weapons are worthwhile targets and my idea with this army is to provide my opponent with nothing worthwhile to shoot (hence the lobbas instead of kannons). I was considering giving my slavers tank buster bombs... But I would have to take out more grots for that, and am not sure how effective they would be.
Please give me feedback! Once I make this army I will be sure to have fantastic battle reports with digital photos!
