We could play PBM! We devide the list into sides, everyone designs a
50,000 pt army (we would need to decide the bad guys) and off we go.
That wouldn't take more than a couple of years/decades. And it's
not moving that'd kill you, it's the fire phase...

Actually, it'd be kinda cool. We could field whole divisions of IG
and entire pre-heresy marine legions (alright, the blood angles arrive
this turn, all 10000 of 'em).

OF COURSE NOT!!!!!! Mixing Tech Guard and Marines into a merely
million point army would be increadibly, inconcievably, revoltingly,
"we'll-hunt-you-down-and-put-a-bullet-in-your-brain-if-you-do",
CHEEEEEEESY!

The inquisition has been notified of your heresy.
