ArkanautDadmiral Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Watched the WW sleeper list episode and the IDK list that had 18 models looked really cool to me and got me wondering about low model count lists across the rest of the factions? I’m not so much looking for a how low can you go competition, but interesting low model count lists really, especially in factions you’d possibly not expect it, I.e, a Nighthaunt list rather than a Ogres one. Anyone have any good ones? edit: have asked for this to be moved to general discussion, didn’t realise I was on the chaos board still!

Walrustaco Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 With Mawtribes you've got the two stonehorn heavy lists: Firstly with a 6 model, but 6 drop list. Allegiance: Ogor Mawtribes- Mawtribe: BoulderheadFrostlord on Stonehorn (400)- General- Command Trait: Lord of Beasts - Artefact: Brand of the Svard - Mount Trait: MetalcruncherFrostlord on Stonehorn (400)- Mount Trait: Black ClatterhornStonehorn Beastriders (300)Stonehorn Beastriders (300)Stonehorn Beastriders (300)Stonehorn Beastriders (300)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 74 Secondly, you've got the one you see mostly when it comes to beastclaw lists, the Eurlbad list(or Jorlbad for less pts and a more likely triumph). It's 4 stonehorns instead of 6, but 3 heroes instead of 2 - and you've got some kind of screening in your mournfang and their huge bases.

The obvious ones would be Gargants, but here's mine in stormcast eternals with 24 models doggo included (went to a few tournament with this or similar, it's decent, not 5-0 material) Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals- Mortal Realm: ChamonLEADERSLord-Celestant on Stardrake (500)- General - Command Trait : Staunch Defender - Celestine Hammer - Artefact : Plate of Perfect ProtectionDrakesworn Templar (420)- Tempest Axe - Mount Trait : Storm-wingedLord-Castellant (120) Knight-Incantor (120)- Spell : Chain LightningLord Kroak (320)- AlliesUNITS5 x Liberators (90)- Warhammer & Shield - 1 x Grandhammers5 x Liberators (90)- Warhammer & Shield - 1 x Grandhammers5 x Liberators (90)- Warhammer & Shield - 1 x Grandhammers3 x Aetherwings (40)ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTSEverblaze Comet (100) Balewind Vortex (40) Umbral Spellportal (70) Other than this, all situations where you can make single models battleline will do (for instance, Cities of Sigmar with a Steam Tank Commander and then some 10 steam tanks ) Edited March 26, 2021 by Marcvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkK Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Not the smallest list, or the most competitive either I'd imagine! You could drop the blightkings for more Blightlords for a smaller list, but Blightkings are very good right now (140 points for 21 wounds). Definitely has plenty of wounds to chew through! Allegiance: Nurgle Mortal Realm: Ghyran Lord of Afflictions (190) - General - Command Trait: Pestilent Breath - Artefact: The Witherstave Lord of Blights (140) - Artefact: Rustfang 4 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (380) 4 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (380) 2 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (190) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (140) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (140) 5 x Putrid Blightkings (140) Affliction Cyst (140) Blight Cyst (140) Total: 1980 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 2 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 145 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skreech Verminking Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sons of behemoths have a pretty low model count, mostly ending in armies with 6or less models. As for the skaven, If you’re truly looking for a significant, pretty funny and uncommon ratlist, I’d play the council of 13, a list I’ve invented, that has exactly 13 models in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatpipeline Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 The key is finding low model count battleline. All the Chaos God factions have at least one list that revolves around 3+ Greater Daemons. This issue with model counts for these lists is where to get your battleline. Legion of Chaos Ascendant have a lot of hero heavy lists that include greater daemons, but their only battleline options are units of 10. So that won't work. For Nurgle, the smallest list I can think of is 10 models: Allegiance: Nurgle - Host of Chaos: Munificent Wanderers Exalted Greater Daemon of Nurgle (390) - Artefact: Mucktalon Great Unclean One (320) - Bile Blade & Doomsday Bell - Artefact: The Witherstave - Lore of Virulence: Sumptuous Pestilence Rotigus (320) - Lore of Virulence: Favoured Poxes Lord of Afflictions (190) - General - Command Trait: One Last Gift - Artefact: The Endless Gift 2 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (190) 2 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (190) 2 x Pusgoyle Blightlords (190) Affliction Cyst (140) Thricefold Befoulment (60) Total: 1990 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 2 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
