Demus Ragnok Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So I plan to undertake a modelling project. It will be of people I know. Its a rag-tag group, not very well organized and terribly under equiped, as space marines. I would like to build this from the basis of an army list. But it needs to be silly, foolish and terribly terribly uneffective from a gameplay stand point. I have no experiance playing 40k so I turn to you brethren for ideas. I do have some ideas already. First, a captain in a landspeeder(haven't decided on loadout yet).Second a land raider, yellow and beat all to heck. And finally squads with a mix of PA and scouts. Any ideas the, more absurd the better, are welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265535-counter-productive-list-ideas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demus Ragnok Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah I had considered Codex BT as a basis for a list. The mixed squads represent the mix of experienced people and noobs in the group I'm modeling.

Giga Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Some suggestions: - a scout unit with a mix of weapons. So in a 10 men squad have some dudes with shotguns, some with combat blades & bolt pistols, and others yet with snipers and missile launcher - a command squad with a mix of weapons, one guy with a flamer, one with a bolt pistol & chainsword, another with a plasma, yet another with close combat weapon, etc. - extra stormbolters on every single vehicle - a random whirlwind - a land speeder squadron of 3 speeders, where each has different weapons, so one with dual flamers, another with cyclone launcher and flamer, third with melta and heavy bolter, etc. - attack bikes with heavy bolters - 5 men devastator squad with a mix of heavy weapons, riding around in a land raider redeemer - ironclad dreadnought with hurricane bolters - master of the forge geared for melee Hope this helps. ;] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265535-counter-productive-list-ideas/#findComment-3235699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowHaunt Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It sounds like you're not necessarily looking for things that are table-legal, per se, as the Captain in a Speeder isn't something you can actually put on the table normally. If you're looking for comedic effect like that, and have no issues with going outside the codex options, here's a few ideas: - Captain in Carapace Armor, with brass knuckles for weapons. - Bolter marine attempting to reload, with a mag in hand that obviously doesn't fit. - Space Marine Bikers, with training wheels - A Dreadnought with it's legs on backwards - A Razorback with Searchlights mounted in the turret, with a series of magnifying lenses in front of the lights - Captain with Jump Pack, with cloak on under the Jump Pack. Paint the cloak as if it's caught fire, repeatedly, from the jump pack. - Chaplain holding his helmet before him, as if looking at the skull, with the name Yorick emblazoned on some bit of scrollwork on his armor.

There's this cool fellow called Sammael of the Dark Angels. Maybe you two should hang out sometimes? ;] http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Sammael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265535-counter-productive-list-ideas/#findComment-3235898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haranin Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 DA Master of the Ravenwing. Ally him in for your Captain? Go BT base for the mixed units.
