Post subject: | Thoughts on lists for Battle of the Chumps |
I've bought myself a ticket for this one, part of my plan to attend more tournaments this year. I know it's a long way off (for submitting lists), but I was a bit bored this evening and I started to struggle with how to put things together. For those who perhaps went last year, any thoughts? My current idea was a World Eaters (WE) army with three Lord of Battles, one in each component, the problem with 750 point groups is few things from the WE list fit in the remaining 350 points, I seem to end up with two identical reserve forces, which seems to be going against the point of the event. Did people take two very different reserve forces, or were they typically very similar? Might take another army instead of WE, not used my IG in a while. |

You pick a 2000pt list and 2 750pt lists all from the same army. Then 5 games Game 1 escalating engagement with 2000 on table both 750s arriving later Game 2 GT 2000 + 1st 750 Game 2 GT 2000 + 2nd 750 Game 4 GT All 3500 Game 5 GT All 3500 All list combinations have to be legal in terms of core/support + titan+air 3rd |

Mt current idea is below... I'll be honest, I'm just trying to fit three lord of battles in - probably too few activations really. Might have to wait for a 4k tournament to try this, just aren't enough cheap units to up my activation count (especially with the 2:1 support:retinue requirement and minimum 325pt retinue - need at least 2, probably 3, and then they need some extras). Core 425 Retinue + Demon Prince + Warlord (325+50+50) 375 Retinue + 5 Rhinos (325+50) 375 Retinue + 5 Rhinos (325+50) 400 Lord of Battles 200 Cannons 200 Cannons R1 400 Lord of Battles 350 Demon Engine + 1 DE (275+75) R2 400 Lord of Battles 350 Demon Engine + 1 DE (275+75) Not sure this would be a fun army for the whole weekend, as amusing as it would be to have three LoBs. |

Would love to go to the bristol event, but not sure of the free time/cost yet. The same applies to going to Australia, though don't think I wasn't tempted... Back on topic: thoughts on the core-reserves1-reserves2 split suggestions for squeezing in three LoBs thoughts on activation counts in the three parts - where to put the break their spirit (could change between games) |
