Blob Guard in Combat Patrol?

So your friends or local shop has some combat patrol going on and you wonder what to bring, ...blob guard maybe. So how would they do?

Mini Blob list (1500pts)

Was hoping to get up the Lisburn league game vs ImperialJ but with being off work sick and all (And my list being saved on work computer along with details). So I decided to throw together a 1500 point blog list for a change to the usual 1850.

Battlecannon Blast list.

So a little bored in work at the moment and decided to throw together a list for upsetting S7 and lower weapons, even S8 grumbles at this list possibly.

Agressive Straken / Creed Blob Guard army

So another idea to toss out for others to oggle which was inspired after a simple comment from Dakeryus who mentioned ''Did you ever think of adding in Creed and let the blob scout 6"? A blob 18" from the enemy table edge before rolling a single dice would be pretty upsetting''.

Outflank guard, 'Eye in the sky, and feet on the ground'

So randomly I got the urge to throw together a guard army which is able to go full reserve for a different little mind project. The aim was to have nothing on the table turn 1 if I wanted and also to have various deployment options to keep the enemy guessing during their deployment phase if going first.

Gunline guard, Blob style

So randomly putting together lists and I remember a great piece of advice from a guy Mark (I believe that was his name) said down at Warpcon about including both Straken and Creed, and instantly refreshed the army builder to begin building a list using these two special characters.

Quick build guide: Mech Guard with bells and some whistles too.

So something slightly different and light hearted today... creating a quick mechanised Guard list Duce style in 5 easy steps (For me assume all hull weapons become heavy flamers, The extra anti horde being accessible via chimera hulls is just something I’ve grown to love, saving me points on flamers and the likes, as well as really not making small squads of CC Xenos want to rush my lines).

Midfield Guard army? DOW friendly for sure.

So working through some different Imperial Guard lists I tried making something to take full advantage on the FAQ changes, more specifically the deployment for Dawn of war, but while still trying to keep the army competitive in other deployments, below is what I managed to come up with for a first draft.

Experimental Blob hybrid list first draft

I was musing over making a partial mech list which centred on Blobs and added in some heavy support and finally ended up with this list for a first draft. Not the best I'll be honest but it actually looks like there could be potential.

Creating a ‘Competitive’’ list for 40k, how’s it done?

Actually it’s much simpler than most people think... while it does require the payer to be ruthless in their points spending and it is straight forward enough to allow most players to come out with a solid basis to work from. I’ll use codex marines as an example first (I thought they'd help me get my points across easier than a guard list as their the usual beginners army it seems).

Blob guard list on the cheap...ish

Wanting to make a Blob guard list can really be daunting, even for a painting sicko like myself. the number of bodies, weapons and such compared to most other armies can really pile up... and I know this first hand after having 152 models in a 1750 point list, an that includes heavy weapon teams as 1 model! and with Ireland's point levels going up to 1850 to work alongside the ETC it could get even bigger...
