Actually Chris, I've also just realised that with the two week gap between league nights, you would still be able to complete the six games, if you used the 15th September as catch-up for two league games.

Limit of 1 Flying Monstrous Creature.

Does this mean the Flying Monstrous Creature cannot fly ?

No flying vehicles. The single Flying Monstrous Creature may fly as normal.

Thanks for pointing this out, I will edit the main rules thread.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just turn the Flying Monstrous Creature into a Jump Unit, otherwise it may be a BIG advantage.

The HQ limits effectivly disallow all of the tyranid HQ's except one Only two are below/at 130; deathleaper who is a unique character(is he banned because of this?), and the tyranid prime who cant even take a basic weapon upgrade to stay below the limit and therefore is pretty useless.
Do we have to take a HQ? I think i could write a nid list without a HQ, but it would suck to be stuck with a upgraded prime.

No formations.

This means I have to use a CAD then as the Eldar detachment is a group of formations in the Eldar book.

Level 1 or 2 psykers only.

This means I can't take a Farseer HQ which is level 3. But a fairly standard Eldar HQ choice.

a) Can you not just take 700pts of models from the Eldar Codex? Is the codex nothing but formations? I've been saying no formations because they can give too powerful bonuses for small games, and a good portion of the codices currently do not have access to any formations, leaving them at a disadvantage.

b) A level 3 or 4 psyker is too powerful for 700pts. The point of the league is to do something different to your normal list building, to try different units and tactics. He may be a fairly standard Eldar HQ choice- for larger games. Sorry JJ, I'm not going to shift on this one, as I really don't want powerful HQ choices to dominate 700pt games.

EDIT: I've looked up the Eldar HQ choices, and having seen how amazingly buff the Farseer is... yeah, that's not happening. You still have Spiritseer, Autarch or Warlock Council to choose from.

For the formations, I think it might be best if you show me the Codex at club night and we talk through it, as I'm finding it difficult to understand without having the Codex in front of me. If you really can't choose any models, or no formations severely/ unfairly limits you, then we'll work out some kind of rules compromise for Eldar, Necrons and Khornekin (the three codices who seem to have had formations hard-wired into them).
