I know some would be keen on this some of the old guys

[Solarian]

haha these guys are as old school as squats.

I remember the Nats 6th round/final in 95 when my Ork boyz faced off against an invincible cult force who breezed through the first 5 rounds.

The boyz huddled together and a hold the line order was passed on to all. With a warboss on a super cyboar to enforce the order the boyz held rank and slaughtered the on coming cultists. A hail of fire was sent towards the forthcoming cultists.
, grots, boar boyz, Nobs, artillery all firing turn after turn.

Last turn of the game a random battle cannon blast destroyed the building in the middle of the table (2nd ed rules) after which a small gap opened in which one cultist could line up my warboss with his lascannon. He needed a 7 to hit (6 then 4+) this was achieved then my custom force field had a chance to reduce the strength of the blow to which it promptly overheated, lol. Finally the cultist had to cause enough wounds to the warboss to kill him. Again this was not a problem. The warboss toppled of his trusty steed and being that the whole army was basically within 12” of him they all made morale tests. My high rolling up to that point which was cutting the enemy to pieces backfired and 3/4s of my force fled the field pursued by small clusters of stealers.

Even though most of my army fled it came down to a couple points which tipped the battle to the cultists as a minor victory. More then enough for them to take the title and enough to drop me to 3rd.

A great battle that I had to share, haha.

The thing I like about 40k is the variation in races and tactics you have to apply to defeat them. It’s to bad its just not cost effective for GW to produce up to date product ranges for these armies. I think they should at least publish proper codexs for the hard core to pursue.

Ok seams this Cult codex is not a GW one i wont be able to use it at torneys what is not much us as thats all i really go to these days. So i was looking at a few of the other codexs and i think the ork one is get best for what i want to do. I have taken the names and theme from the cult codex and a bit from the nid codex and added it all together into a nice list that i going to take me ages to do with the amount of models and conversions i need to do.

117 Models (Shit!!!)

SO here is the list. It might give you some ideas of your own.
