Sometimes when I get free time at work I think about dream army lists for 40k. I surprised myself when I was able to fit this much dakka into a Guard 1750 list:
-= HQ =-
110 Company Command (50) w/ Master of Ordnance (30) + Lascannon (20) + Sniper Rifle x2 (10)
55 Chimera Transport (55) w/ Hull Heavy Bolter + Multilaser
-= Troops =-
65 Platoon Command (30) w/ Heavy Flamer (20) + Flamer x3 (15)
55 Chimera Transport (55) w/ Hull Heavy Bolter + Multilaser
65 Infantry Squad (50) w/ Flamer (5) + Autocannon (10)
55 Chimera Transport (55) w/ Hull Heavy Bolter + Multilaser
65 Infantry Squad (50) w/ Flamer (5) + Autocannon (10)
55 Chimera Transport (55) w/ Hull Heavy Bolter + Multilaser
115 Veterans (70) w/ Shotguns + Powerfist (15) + Meltagun x3 (30)
55 Chimera Transport (55) w/ Hull Heavy Bolter + Multilaser
-= Heavy Support =-
220 Vanquisher Tank (155) w/ Hull Lascannon (15) + Tank Commander (50)
510 Battle Tank x3 (450) w/ Hull Heavy Bolter x3 + Sponson Heavy Bolters x3 (60)
325 Artillery Squadron w/ Griffon Heavy Mortar (75) + Basilisk x2 (250)
+ Hull Heavy Flamer x3
Point Total: 1750
For those keeping tally, if the army doesn't move and is at full strength it can fire in a single shooting phase:
- 3 S9 AP3 Ordinance Barrage Large Blasts
- 3 S3 AP3 Ordinance Large Blasts
- 1 S6 AP4 Ordinance Barrage Large Blast
- 2 S9 AP2 Lascannons
- 1 S8 AP1 Vanquisher Anti-Tank Shell (+2D6 Armour Pen)
- 4 S7 AP4 Autocannon shots
- 15 S6 AP6 Multilaser shots (5 Chimeras)
-
42 S5 AP4 Heavy Bolter shots (5 Chimeras + the 9 Heavy Bolter Sponsons on the Leman Russes)
- 2 SX AP6 Rending Pinning Sniper Rifle shots
And that doesn't take into account the 3 meltaguns, 4 Heavy Flamers, 5 flamers, and assorted lasguns that may or may not be in range...
...
Yeah... I don't think I'd play a list like that against anyone I want to be friends with afterward for a long while...
