Lvl 4s in "unconventional" ships

I've been playing the game for several years and most of them have been as a dual box "carebear" running lvl 4 missions. I have been moving from the standard CNR based ship combos to more unconventional ships just for poops and giggles. Various HAC/command, BC/Sentry Domi, BC/Command combos have all be good for a laugh, however I have found a combo that really tickles my fancy, and is sure to get a laugh (and probably scorn).

HAM/Pulse Damnation and 5-ganglink EOS with armor and thermal drone mixes (2 heavy, 2 med, 1 light).

I know the EOS is the red-headed step child of the Fleet Commands, and the Damnation is not an attack ship in any sense, but it's a whole hell of a lot of fun to fly "Gone Berserk" or the "'Ganza's" in this pair.

I know, a slowboat HML Drake with a Garde Domi backup would rip it up, but that has become snooze-fest boring to me.

If you guys want fits, I'll post them when I get online.

In the meantime, I would love to hear what other "abnormal" fits and combos people are running now?

I've done a few Lvl 4s in Low Sec in Tier 3 BCs, specifically Tornado and Oracle, they are really fun. A couple of them together would

I ran Serpentis Blockade in this:

Some weird things I've used to run L4s solo in...
1. Rifter (took ages)
2. Bellicose (took even longer cause it ran on 800 cap boosters that kept running out)
3. Various Assault Frigates
4. All Tier 2 BCs except the Harbinger
5. Oracle, I've soloed quite a few missions with MPLs, dual rep, cap booster/ab/web, you obviously can't do missions with spider drones of webbing frigs that spawn under 40k.
