With all the sublists coming out(yeah yeah expensive game), and all the allies combinations fluff is back.

You have 10 minutes to be as fluffy as you can( and also show a knowledge of your codex).
Part 2.. if you meet someone who has done this.. dare them to a game.

This one was inspired by a chaos list LH tried once about 3 years back.

Fluffy(ish) and rubb(ish)

Took 19 & 1/2 minutes including interuptions. Happy?

What do havoks get with mok and can you give deathwing command squad terminators plasma weapons?

Havocks get counter attack and rage, its not that helpfull. But its cheap and fluffy.

LHs list being 3x termie squads will wape my face.. unless my 2 giants characters get in there and represent. I think it would be quite a funny matchup.
I don't think his command squad are terminators.
Reply to spack in your meetup thread.

Didn't he want allied lists?

Meh I want fluff.. something you can point at and say this is like this book , or look at the pattern in this, or my mechanicum.. or genestealer cult.. etc etc allys are not a requirement just an addional useful tool to accomplish the mission

Well ain't every codex list I write fluffy?? :/

Here is my current 40k concoction I'm running ATM with alot of success.

Bloodthirster with exalted reward (usually GoTN)

Bloodcrushers x4 with banner of blood and blood sgt with axe of khorne. (Normal I with ap2 instant death potential).

Now tell me that ain't fluffy to the core.

That.. is a truly epic list.

do u like it really?

Ok, (referencing to another active post), I've not played 6th yet. Hell, I didn't play much 5th. However, this is mainly due to time and not me being a "hater" - will be giving 6th a go soon!

My list is a Salamanders I was thinking about for 5th - not competitive, but fluffy. I have since got some models I am working on...

HQ. Vulkan - 190
TR. Tactical squad (10), Flamer, Multi-melta, Power Weapon - 185
TR. Tactical squad (10), Flamer, Multi-melta, Power Weapon - 185
TR. Tactical squad (10), Flamer, Missile Launcher - 170
EL. Terminator Squad, Heavy Flamer - 205
EL. Terminator Assualt Squad, Thunder Hammers, Land Raider Redeemer - 450
EL. Dreadnought, Heavy Flamer - 115
Total - 1,500

Now, like I said, not competitve at all, even less so in 6th (no flyer or anti-flyer).

I haven't thought too much about adapting to 6th and keeping overly fluffy, but I have a few safe bets in terms of assembling and painting (especially at my pace!).

Looks like a solid core army. You can then add some speed and manoeuvrability with your next additions and look to taking it up to 1850 maybes.

I like hestan lists.. personally I think it works really well. I think your dread needs a pod (although the chapter were nearly wiped out in a drop site massacre) and I think your tactical squads need rhinos and combi (meltas or flamers)..
Ruleswise he won't effect the redeemers flamers but its quite fluffy to take them anyway. Stick hestan in there.
I'd consider (with playtesting and seeing how you feel..) dropping the regular transportless termies so you can do all the above in the same bracket.
I find it hard to reconcile that nearly all elites/pyrae were wiped out.. but that they have a huge chunk of thundernators..I'm not sure where the fluff canon (this week) lies.
For just pure fluff(as in rubbish) it would be cool to fit in a librarian with pyromancy powers.. their librarians did that.
There isn't much stuff for 6th in there but thats kind of fluffy, they lost their flyers. They just have shed loads of artificer armour and master crafting., to coin the ultimate lazymans phrase lets see what happens to the salamanders in 6 weeks time.

Genestealer cult.

Magus + bodyguard, company com sec, 4x plasma, chimera.

Ist platoon, brood brothers.

Platoon com sec, 4x meltas.
Infantry squadx 2.
Heavy weapons squadx 2, missile launchers.

2nd platoon, brood brothers.

Platoon com sec, 2x grenade launchers.
Infantry squadsx 2, heavy bolters.
Heavy weapons squadx 2, lascannons and autocannons.

Leman russ, heavy bolter.
Leman russ, lascannon.
Basilisk, heavy bolter.

6 rough riders.

2 sentinels, lascannons.

Broodlord/patriarch (herald of slaanesh), level 1 psycher.

10 Purestrains (daemonettes)x 2.

Company commander is a magus, platoon commanders are (metal) hybrids and the squad sergeants are plastic hybrids. All are tallarn guardsmen.

Just need to repaint the vehicles in the correct colours and fix the lances on the rough riders.

Anyone who has been following my reneguard progress, may know that the original stealer cult, got a bit infected with nurgleitis, so, I have been slowly assembling these tallarns to fly the flag.

What's the story with these genestealer cults. I have read nothing about them. All I have gleamed is that apparently genestealers can look like humans in a body snatching kind of scenario. .?.?
