At the local GW there doesn't seem to be a set points value that people play - 1500 pts is a bit of a standard, but you are almost as equally likely to end up playing a 500 pts game as a 2250 pts game. I've lost count of the number of times I've gone down with a list built to a specific points value to end up having to alter it on the fly to be able to get a game.
To that end, I've tried to put together a series of lists at 250 pts intervals using the models I have available at the moment to cover all the bases. I'm putting them here to garner comments on them to see if there are ways that they could be improved (bearing in mind that I'm using models I have available, not all of them, but for some options I'd have to build new stuff).

So are these lists that would work? Where would you perhaps change them to improve their effectiveness? Are they even legal (I'm pretty sure they are, but I've made mistakes in the past so I'm never sure).
actually, your two Rune Priests have identical wargear, which is not allowed. i would advise giving one a bolter over a bolt pistol, because its free. Otherwise, Meltabombs, Wolf tail Talismans, and others are good options.
ReplyDeleteHi Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks for spotting that, I'd intended to switch the wargear on one of the Rune Priests and then completely forgot to. I'm working on variants of this list and I'll make sure I've got the changes in the future lists.
Cheers
