RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - manrogue - 09-02-2015 They have to be CAD's yes, no unbound or formations. And new page, so edit in info- (02-02-2015, 10:27 AM)manrogue Wrote: Summary/update so far- Lol please see above people. To clarify, you can have 2 HQ, 3 FA, Elite and Heavy, just no repeats. This isn't designed to be a competitive free for all, just a fun campaign. I thought it was clear but will tidy it up as maybe it wasn't then You can also have vehicle squadrons (ie buy one Landspeeder, then upgrade to add extra 1 etc and counts as a single unit) Please drop lists here RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - Fitz - 09-02-2015 I need to change my list. I need ! HQ, 2 troops and 1 Elite Minimum. RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - Dedwoods42 - 09-02-2015 (09-02-2015, 07:16 PM)Baalborn87 Wrote: Do the armies have to be Combined Arms? Not as far as I understand - any Battle Forged Detachment should do it. E.G. I'm using a Hive Fleet Detachment.

If my minis turn up in time i was planning on using the battles in the age of darkness force org unless you want me to run with CAD RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - Fitz - 10-02-2015 I might be getting confused. In the codex. The FoC in the BA codex has 1-HQ, 2-Troops and 1-Elite. RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - Dedwoods42 - 10-02-2015 Vince is confusing things ;-) Vince - do you specifically mean that we're limited only to the Combined Arms Detachment found in the rulebook - or any Detachment (such as the ones found in codices and supplements, E.G. The Decurion, the Hive Fleet Detachment)? They are still Battle Forged - and not formations.

Thats a special CAD (the baal strike force) that allows an additional Elite but you must take a compulsary Elite. You can either use the Rulebook CAD (compulsory 1 HQ, 2 Troops, Optional upto 4 troops and upto 3 fast, Elite and Heavy selections) Or Baal strike force CAD (compulsory 1 HQ, 2 Troops, 1 Elite Optional upto 4 troops and upto 3 fast, Elite and Heavy selections) Hope that makes sense?

They aren't CADs though ;-) RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - manrogue - 10-02-2015 (10-02-2015, 12:54 PM)Dedwoods42 Wrote: Vince is confusing things ;-)Decurian is not a CAD, its a build of Formations as i understand it? The hive fleet is still a CAD in every sense, just a special kind of CAD with further restrictions etc. I talk in gaming speak a lot of the time as i spend a lot of time on wargaming threads lol, hence the use of CAD to describe anything that follows a FOC. Apologies for any confusion caused. RE: 500 Pt escalation Campaign - Dedwoods42 - 10-02-2015 The Decurion is a detachment - it just happens to be made up of formations rather than units. CAD = Combined Arms Detachment, which is where much of the confusion comes from. Different Detachments confer different rules so should be maintained as separate entities. Also I'm fussy about wording - RAW vs RAI :-P |
