500 Pt escalation Campaign

[Alpharius]

As the rules stand i will struggle big time to fill in 2000 points with only one unit per FOC chart. As it stands (going cheap for 500 and then working it up) i can realistically get 1000 out of my units. I would personally prefer to see the highlander rules discussed earlier on in this thread. That being only one entry per unit. With the flyer, transport and psyker limitations as they currently are.

Not quite sure what you mean Matt?

Looking through Horus heresy book there are lots of choices?

Also while i'm on it, just spotted a Flyrant list lol, just as heads up i think wings are okay but at the low points level no flying mainly as most armies are gonna struggle to deal with FMC. 6's to hit, then 6's to wound with most weapons and only one grounding check a turn will be nasty lol. So wings will only count as jump packs till we reach 1000 Pts. Sound reasonable?

Sorry i had m8sunderstood. I thought you meant only one elite, one heavy support, one fast attack ect. No i can definately build a nice list with those limits

Yup Its just to stop unit spams.
After all no one want to face 3 of the same unit in a game

Would the list I posted here pass muster for 1000 points?

Gotcha. I don't actually have a Tyrant without wings... Will re-jig list.

Cheers Dan, can still use it with wings to jump 12" (still handy for a dakka tyrant!) just as i say i can see certain none shooty lists struggling big time to kill it. Alternative idea could be to allow normal shooting at flyers/FMC's till 1000 Pts plus?

Yep

Oooooh gotcha, no Swooping - I'm good with that! Saves me trying to magnetise wings, that's a job I don't want to do...

yep, forgot it was called swooping lol. No swooping everything else is golden for it.

Sounds all good to me! They look to cool to NOT model them with wings :-P

Anything you want drafted up, narrative-wise?

Not sure yet, i'm just trying to decide the best way to battle it out.....
We could do a imperial world under attack from various non imperial units as we have a solid selection of imperial units.
If you have any other ideas feel free to go wild, we have quite a varied selection of armies on here.
Rob has given me some cool ideas for missions which i 'll try and write up and drop on here.

ALso guys can we try and clarify what forces we are using if you haven't told me already by Mid feb please?

Want to get everything closed off by then and start planning for the campaign proper

[aprilmanha]

I guess csm for me!
