Got a few points to spare. Anyway, the reasons this list loses - Mediocre combat abilities, nearly zero shooting abilities. Taken a load of specialist units, and removed their speciality (No Warlock means no cover save, no initiative boost. No special weapons is a great crippler too)
Anything with anti-troop weaponry can take this down, and the list can barely scratch even light tanks.

List
Dracon with Combat Drugs and Webway Portal (approx 150 points IIRC).
Whatever the hell you want deployed in the Portal.
Total: 1,500.
Tactics
The Dracon runs around with appropriately xenophobic sandwich boards to taunt the enemy whilst taking 6 drugs a turn......
Addendum
I can't remember if models on Skyboards are prohibited from carrying Portals. If not throw a Skyboard in so the Dracon becomes Jump Infantry and can suicide himself on Dangerous Terrain tests just in case he keeps rolling all 6 different numbers.......
I win? :twisted:

I would love to play with this army, though :D

I dunno, I'm more impressed with the lists that are complete, just really badly chosen.
The DE webway and CSM daemon lists are too easy.
It is ridiculous how weak you can make Daemonhunter lists though...
EDIT: Ah, EC, that's the sort of list that's cool. Looks kinda like a real list, just on second glance a pretty terrible idea. Although I think it's possible to win with that one if your termies get lucky.

Are you sure Daemons need an Icon to appear? I am almost sure the icon just stops them from scattering.
Oh, and playing to use like with the Dracon isn't what was asked. Anyone can lose by playing to lose. I assume after building the list you would have to play as well as possible to win.
A good one would be (Not doing points here, just a rough idea)
4 Heralds
6 squads of Nurglings.
Lots of other minimum sized squads.
You have ZERO scoring units, and with lots of min squads you will be giving away a loty of kill points aswell.

change one of them heralds to epidemus and suddenly the enemy is laughing as lot less (unless it is mechanised of course)
by list o doom.
HQ - weirdboy warphead
Troops:
30 grots +3 runthers *6 = 900 points of low LD, useless fodder.
points = 1000
(though that is 199 models :eek: )

Very true Pox, but they still have no scoring units, meaning a win is next to impossible in an objective based game.

It is ridiculous how weak you can make Daemonhunter lists though...
Only thing that makes that DH army so ridiculous weak is that you can equip 100 pts (mostly useless) wargear on every inquisitor, followed by 35 useless psi and another 50 or so useless retinue.
Heh, but no matter how hard you try... with that DH force you will not win any battle ever. Even that tyranids with ripper swarms or that CSM list would easily win... by total annihilation of the DH force. The whole army can barely take on a single csm squad.
