okay... Kerry's question about warp talons got me thinking... and it's a slow day at work, so when I start thinking about something I have to write an army list!
so must include talons, and also that chaos lord model with the double lightning claws because he'll look cool with the talons...
had to pick a mark because I'm a sucker for themes, so went with nurgle... so since it's nurgle everything follows the sacred number of 7... you know, because it's fluffy... lol....
HQ: Nurgle marked chaos lord - jump pack and double lighting claws (budget character that's only there because of the cool looking model)
Troops:
7 plague marines - double plasma guns - champ has power axe 7 plague marines - double plasma guns - champ has power axe 7 plague marines - double plasma guns - champ has power axe
Fast:
7 warp talons - mark of nurgle 7 warp talons - mark of nurgle 7 warp talons - mark of nurgle
Heavy:
3 nurgle oblits 2 nurgle oblits 2 nurgle oblits
(okay it took three units to get to the sacred number, but it still counts!)
1998 points
(this is not posted as the most competitive list on the planet... it's more of a themed fun list)

By merit of having plague marines and obliterators I think it'll do fine.

no, by merit of it following the sacred number of nurgle it will spread plague and pestilence wherever it goes!
actually not building a csm army at the moment... given my original idea got taken! (and I do have to be weird and different after all) but Kerry forced me to look again at how cool the talon models were... it's his fault... not mine!!!!

yeah... 50 T5 models might be a little resilient... especially with the troops all having FNP... with obliterator supporting fire.... and talons running forward saying "shoot me! shoot me!"

yeah my tau would have a hard time trying to take out that many high toughness models with good saves. id be wounding you one a 4+ reather then a 3+ which tau bank on for taking out infantry. but id basicly ignore the oblits cause the warp talons and the plague marines are the bigger threat to me

Yeah, I'm honestly not sure what I'd do against it.....ramming my command squad into those plague marines would be a high priority, but I'd have to deal with the talons somehow. I mean, with my Storm Shields I could run over a squad of them without much worry, but I wouldn't want to make a habit of it. The oblits would actually be a pretty big target for me, as they could do serious damage to the bikers.

Looks fun but way too silly

of course it's silly.... ALL my lists are silly to some extent!
I have a combination of ADD and Pokemon syndrome... I feel the need to justify building whatever army randomly catches my attention....

I can't stop laughing at how good this actually is.... 50 T5 models would be hard to deal with!

Too bad I won best overall with them. Obviously they aren't painted yet, but they are there.
