Swamp monster army

Hi everyone
So, ignoring that the following list is not pitched battle legal, how do you guys think it would do in the current meta?

 

And would you allow a friend to play this list in friendly match ups?'

 

Cheers

I would allow any list played in a friendly match. Who wouldnt want to play against a list with many big creatures? Seems fun to me.

I dont play meta so dont know about that.

I don’t know how well it would do in the current meta, but man go all for it.

anybody not allowing you to use those legend model, is pretty much probably a doofus anyways.

Ps: although asking or telling your opponent before what you would like to use in such cases is never a bad idea.

Thanks for the replies...

I'm glad to see people are generally open towards weird lists. I used to play in a fairly competitive Rules as Written setting, and while it was fun, I got fed up trying to keep up with GWs constant rules and point changes... Like every 6 month I would have to change my list and often this included mothballing units/ models which I had spent time and money on.

Also, their general marketing thing of always letting the newest army being the strongest then nerfing it over the next year was somthing that meant that after about 12 month after battletome release it would simply be overmatched by the constant powercreep of new armies. Therefore I'm simply considering ignoring all that and just playing some models which I like...

This is considered the best way of dealing with GW. Models last forever, rules could change any moment.

Rule of cool is there for a reason. For me personally it keeps the hobby more enjoyable than keeping up with constant rules changes and buying more paper than plastic to keep up with all the rules. Its not for me and thats fine. Just take a step back and enjoy the hobby the way u like it.
