40k by the Numbers (Codex Style)

[skulan]

Since I have far too much time on my hands and little to occupy my mind, I decided to engage in what, at first, seemed like a completely useless exercise: seeing how many points I could possibly cram into a Warhammer 40k army. My rules were simple; for a given army codex, I would attempt to fill the Force Organization chart with the most expensive

Interesting. I get a total of 5385 in a standard FOC for Necrons. Did you remember disruption fields at +2 points per model for the Immortals as well as the Warriors?

Heh, I should see what the GK would look like with assists from the Guard.

Bloody thing, allowing me to post without logging in.

Might have missed a bit. Still, not exactly closing in on 4th place either way.

Ah, I see the problem. The C'tan are tucked way in the back, and I forgot they existed. That would boost the point total by 160. And I may have made an error somewhere along the way.

Ah, yes. Nightbringer would account for much of the difference. Also, Lords can take a warscythe in addition to 100 points of wargear, for a total of 210. That would account for the final 10 points.
