Losing Fabulously!

[Halollet]

With 8th edition around the bend, I'd like to give 7th a little send off or 2.  So I'm looking for ideas on lists to make that will be fun to play, even if I get wiped 3rd turn!  Whole idea is to have some fun and maybe I might pull off a win!  Doesn't matter!  So throw the whole 'this isn't viable' mindset out the window and help me go nuts!  But, I also need to use the models I have, though I can proxy a few. 1850 points! Let's do this!

I was thinking of using all 99 genestealers in different formations with Deathleaper's formation.  Or, maybe a nidzilla list?  Trying to fit all those guys in one 1850 might be a bit tight!  Maybe a list with 27 Shrikes in 3 units cause why not?  3 Tervigons with lots of little guys! Yeah! I actually missed the edition where that was a thing....

Throw me some ideas!

As a given for any edition, a "fun" list is best summed up for me as Highlander. Take of it what you may.

I always wanted to play Swarmlord with a swarm... You could try that with a few proxied HG in tcytes to pop transports?

Swarmlord, 2 Malanthropes, 240 Hormagants and 8 Shrikes. 1843 points.

I've wanted to try 100 termagants and 100 hormagaunts, with them all loaded up into 10 tyrannocytes. I just want to see the look on my opponent's face as the board fills up with floating giant spores of death.

I love this so much I may proxy some termies as hormies myself! My first thought was how am I going to deal with the Landspeeders my friend would bring, and the answer is that I'd just do board control.

Landspeeders are av 10, 2 hp... drop some horms to get AG on the others, and then laugh

You know, an Endless Swarm formation with 20 man gaunts, 20 man gants, and 6 warriors all with tyrannocytes (total of 7) comes out to only 1245 points. Talk about board control ...

[kazetanade]

You could run 100 devourer gants. Its only 800 points.
