Lowest Model Count Army...1850 points

Post by lordfairfax2001 on Thu May 29, 2008 10:30 am

For some idiot reason, I was thinking about 40K and wanted to see if someone could come up with a legal army with the fewest models at 1850. Which would it be?

Big Bugs?
Daemonhunters?
Chaos?

The smallest list I could make was....Orks at 13 models:

13 Models, Orks.

Big Mek, KFF, All wargear except Oilers
Big Mek, SAG, All wargear except Oilers
5x Nob Bikers, 5 x powerklaw, painboy, cybork bodies
Deff Dread, 2x Kustom Mega Blasters, armor, grots (troops)
Deff Dread, 2x Kustom Mega Blasters, armor, grots (troops)
Battle Wagon, 4 rokkit, lobba, killkannon, all wargear x 3

Most likely, but not less then 13...the smallest Daemonhunter army I could come up with had 16 models, or so, in it (been a while since I did it). Deathwing (especially with the new codex) will most likely come in at about 20 models.

It's gotta be Nids with the Bugzilla list.

Ask Max. You can take like 2 Hive Tyrants and 6 Carnifex and like 2 ripper swarm bases or something crazy like that.

Also Ray, does that ork list comply with composition requirements? What are your troops? The Bikes? but they're only 1 squad.

Not my post, but...

The post states that the deff dreds are troops which IIRC are allowed if you take a Big Mek as your HQ, i would have to look it up though.

He's right, if you take a Big Mek as an HQ you can take a Deff Dread as a troop choice.

So yes, it is possible to have an entire orc armored army. GW is that stupid.

Now, the opposite question. Which army can bring the most models to a knife-fight?

Now, I *think* orks outdo IG now that they're 6pts a piece. Unless gaunts are cheaper I can't think of a more number-licious army.

Edit: doing the Ork numbers, 6 units of 30 orks before nobs and upgrades is under 1100 points for 180 models (if we're still talking 1850).
I think your opponent would see you trying to move that and just concede affraid

Conscripts are 4 pts a pop. Each troop choice of conscripts is up to 50 men.

I'm going to do some math.

Army HQ JO HQ Section 5
Special Weapon Platoons Squad 6

Rough Riders sgt + 7 riders 8

Conscripts Platoon 50
