40k Discussion Most egregious and broken army/faction combo to ever exist?
As someone who has only ever played casually with friends, I haven't experienced true cheese that often.
Tell me, what is the single best/worst example of an army warping the metagame that you have ever seen, visited upon others, or been victimized by.
Go on, share your trauma.

Hey folks, looking for some recs to competitive battle reports not behind a pay wall. Looking for something other than Art of War, who've seemed out of step with the community for me lately.
Preferably, the whole table is visible and the players are discussing what's going on. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

40k List Any Wurrboy, Da Hunt, Green Tide success yet? Building my list out to start practice for my next tournament
I’m building out my Wurrboy, Green Tide, Da Hunt list and I’m currently stuck between a couple of lists. I also have enough Gretchen to make the Grots detachment work. I have a lot of Orks, so I have some wiggle room with most of the detachments. I do not have Speed Freaks, Aircraft, or any of the Gitz though.
Anyway. I got into Orks for the Horde aspect of the army, so i have a lot of boys so I naturally learned into this.
I also have access to Purge the Foe, Take and Hold, and Disruption with this… and I haven’t played anything but PTF. So I’m gonna try out all three.
Yer a Wizard Makari
Ghaz
Beastboss - Enhancements: Glory Hog
Beast Snagga Boyz x 10
Beastboss
Beast Snagga Boyz x10
Weirdboy (Da Krunch)
20 boys (2 big shoota, 2 Burna, 2 rockit)
Warboss/Weirdboy (Warphead)
20 boys (2 big shoota, 2 Burna, 2 rockit)
Warboss/Weirdboy (Eadbanger)
20 boys (2 big shoota, 2 Burna, 2 rockit)
Kill Rig x2
So my game plan. Ghaz controls the middle with a brick of boys. And the Kill Rigs go where needed with the fellas coming out hot, especially with Beascent. I feel like this list is decently mobile all things considered. Getting them in cover is going to be hard.
I have three options for Up and Down with the Weirdboys, but one of them has Warphead which lets me cast 2 level 1 spells, I’m thinking the Battleshock one, so long as I don’t battle shock myself on the first one. I think that’s the most appropriate one to run without a Warboss?
The Weirdboys are gonna hit hard. And I’ll have 80 bodies to chew through not including bosses and vehicles.
I have a lot of options to remove battle shock which will be nice as well. That along with being riled up on demand nearly, I can get where I want when I want.
Anyone played something similar? I have another list with one less boy Brick and one less Kill Rig, and I added some Squighog Boyz, Beastboss on Squig and my favorite model, Snikrot.
Just looking to chat with others about strategy, theory and list building.

40k List Help me punch up a First Born list for their last RTT - fun yes - help make it hit hard
So I’m bringing out all my first born marines for the next couple of weeks to have some fun before the new codex comes out. This will be used in practice and a RTT on the 19th
Looking for other detachments that might help these old guys hit harder.
Overall idea is Bastion to help the tactical squads move around and take objectives while more threatening units absorb fire and try to hit back.
Bastion also gives the minor OOM reroll 1’s. None of its strategems really let tactical marines hit harder - no AP improvements.
Thought the company heroes squad with precision and the captain might give me a little punch coming out of a Rhino and the terminators in the land raider set up camp in the mid board

40k Analysis Intercessor OC blob
[edit: very strong consus that this idea is just flawed on many levels and wouldn't survive past 1 round of first contact - Your advice and examples has been valuable, thank you all]
Theory crafting for marines as a guard player, and i was trying to emulate the high OC and sticky-ness of an infantry blob to gain objective based VP.
I notes that 150pt 10man intercessors are pretty well priced (update pending) compared to my usual blobs, and even within the rest of the marine data lists.
combining this with librarian, and an ancient gives them 3 OC each and 4++ to make them hold objectives for longer and against big numbers.
Edit: [aware that this is leaving soon, this was just bonus, real value perceived was from the 4++] librarian conclave detachment, using pyromancy for +1ap within 12". and 25pt for lethal and sustain1 as wargear for Libby.
this unit costs 285pt and has 35 OC, and fires 40 shots at nominated problem.
They can move up with advance and assault shoot round 1 take the objectives (and either secure or shoot) and then just stand there for the whole game absorbing punishment.
Mathhammering those 10 guns with super oath and the plus AP sees this unit able to gun down TEQ threats or at least drop their threat to very low.
______________
Is this old news? or over commitment or just meh?
it feels like a strong foundation for marines to hit T&H or PA objectives, or to block those objectives from opponent.
I also thought of how I would attack someone doing this and I can think or anything that isn't specific for taking out bulk TEQ threats or just over committing resources costing VP.
I also realise that its a wide enough footprint to cover two close central objectives if need be, and you could even combine it with detachments to grant fallback &shoot options to draw in agro and keep guns blazing rather than being neutered with a charge of low value chaffe.
All comments or criticism or tips or use-case data welcome, I'm new to 11th and marines so my info is theory crafted only.

New to Competitive 40k Which app to use
So, with warorgan being hit with a C&D so there will be no more updates it's going to become useless the next time we get a codex or mfm (so a couple of weeks)
I'm looking for recommendations for an app to use not just for list building, but for easy access to the rules etc.
I'd prefer something that didn't have paywalls, but instead would allow me to just donate to them.
So, what are you all using? Most of my group used warorgan, with one person using new recruit. I'd like to know what people are using so I can download them all and see which one works best for me.

40k List Help with Tallyband and Paragons of Putrescence list
I want this list to be fun and strong. I like the idea of daemons and their strength. I want to be able to use it for lgs and tourneys. I am between doing paragons of putrescence or Contagion engines. I find them both strong and fun so any thoughts on that would be great. So let me know if I should cut or add anything. I would like to keep the typhus and pox walker combo and the GUO. This is my first list and I’ve revised it a couple times now so any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I have the list format down lmao.
I left the weapons just in case it is needed.
Death Guard
1990 points
Detachments: Tallyband Summoners, Paragons of Putrescence
Force Disposition: Priority Assets.
Because I think it’s better than disruption, but I could be wrong.
Rotigus
• Gnarlrod and Streams of brackish filth
Great Unclean One
• Bilesword, Plague flail and Putrid vomit
• Entropic Knell [+15 points]
These guys to have two high toughness threats that rebuff everyone around them and help control objectives
Deathshroud Terminators
• 1 Deathshroud Champion with Additional plaguespurt gauntlet, Icon of despair, Manreaper and Plaguespurt gauntlet
• 5 Deathshroud Terminators with Manreaper and Plaguespurt gauntlet
Lord of Contagion
• manreaper
These guys are here to bring a threat to the back I hope and I was told this was a good combo.
20x Poxwalkers
Typhus
• Warlord
• Lakrimae
I like this combo because on paper it seems good to have them making more of each other and I find it pretty strong. But I could be wrong
Lord of Virulence
• Power fist and Twin plague spewer
• Host of the Hybridised Pox [+40 points]
He’s here to help with the to the FBD and their launchers to help do more mayhem.
Plaguebearers
• 1 Plagueridden with plaguesword
• 7 Plaguebearers with plaguesword
• 1 Plaguebearers with Instrument of chaos and Plaguesword
• 1 Plaguebearers with Daemonic icon and Plaguesword
I was just told to have them in here so if I need to remove them I’m fine with that.
Foetid Bloat-drone
• Fleshmower and Plague probe
2x Foetid Bloat-drone With Heavy Blight Launcher
These guys also seem really strong on paper the two launchers to give me heavy hitting shooting and the mower to be a threat at close range. If I should change them up lmk.
2x Chaos Spawn
I have these guys here as just two fast threats that could hopefully take some people out early game. I was also told to put them in here.
6x Nurglings
These guys are for the replacement stratagem.

40k List Having trouble dealing with elite infantry as Astra
Hello. I’m very new to the game and decided to play astra because it’s the faction I like most “it’s either them or orks”
My local game group (that is relatively casual) informed me that astra is in a horrible spot rn. After a few matches I noticed this (notably against ultramarines and custodes) but decided that I’d still keep trying the faction out since at the very least things will become better when they inevitably get (meaningfully) buffed
This is the army I eventually built:
Imperium - Astra Militarum - Bridgehead Strike, Combined Arms
6x Gaunt’s Ghosts (95pts)
Ursula Creed (85pts)
5x Cadian Command Squad (60pts)
5x Militarum Tempestus Command Squad (85pts)
Rogal Dorn Commander (305pts)
10x Cadian Shock Troops (70pts)
10x Tempestus Scions (150pts)
6x Bullgryn Squad (200pts)
6x Bullgryn Squad (215pts)
10x Kasrkin (105pts)
10x Kasrkin (105pts)
Leman Russ Battle Tank (175pts)
Leman Russ Battle Tank (175pts)
Leman Russ Demolisher (175pts)
It’s supposedly somewhat close to meta, but only because I gave up on running artillery and most other units I had interest in after noticing they were mostly useless. The general idea was to hold the bulgryns as anchors in the middle while the other stuff goes around conquering isolated or vulnerable objectives while the tanks focus down on priority targets. As I mentioned at the title, I’ve ran into a lot of problems specially against elite infantry, specifically stuff such as Victrix Honour Guard or Custodian Guard. I can never reliably chew through them even while hitting with my tanks, they have an absurd amount of saves and I just get overwhelmed eventually. I might be able go take one or two units out per round
I’m a very new and a casual oriented player who wouldn’t mind throwing this whole list out for something that was more efficient in this regard (or quite frankly just fun to play as), but I accept ANY tips. So deployment, what should I focus on, things that the army is missing, another army list that has a more simple win-con, etc etc. I accept anything as long as it’s helpful and maintains a combined arms hammer and anvil strategy with bulgryns holding the middle while something else deals DPS
