500 Pt escalation Campaign

[manrogue]

Beginning of March, either the 3rd or 10th.

Just a gentle reminder, i'd like everyone's army list by the 15th so i can run it through battlescribe and get it in the List thread. Would like to spend the last couple of weeks before it kicks off writing/tweaking the campaign pack and sometimes you don't spot an issue until you see a list (ie FMC issue).

Cool. Would you like me to play my BA's or Word bearers. Which faction needs the members?

Your choice, we have 5 in each at the min. Whichever you chose will knock that one up to 6 lol.

As we have 16 players, it should mean everyone gets a game on opening night. After that we will will follow the crusade of fire rules, which i'm hoping should be waiting at home for me tonight so can bring the club....

I would say no primarchs, but would be happy to face sometime in a fun game

Same here. Will happily bring Mortarion for a bash or two at some point!

So i've been glancing at IA 2nd edition for my BA's and my initial thoughts are to keep forgeworld (bar matt's 30K stuff) out till 1250 Pts. I'd be tempted by a Fireraptor or Sicaron, which could be horrible at 750-1000 Pts but not that bad at 1250+.

Also thinking of adding 2 max limit on Forgeworld stuff?

Whats others thoughts on this?

Sound fair?

Sounds fair to me! Both the Sicaran & Fire Raptor are really nasty - but will be countered fairly easily at that points bracket.
The only FW I intend to bring are a Malanthrope and a Dimachaeron. The Malanthrope is more of a defensive/buffing unit so won't make much of a difference, but the Dimachaeron would be a real issue below the points bracket. I hadn't intended to drop him in until around then anyways, so doesn't bother me :-)
The max of two sounds good, prevents twin Kheres Contemptor Mortis dreads from being spammed alongside nasty tanks like the Sicaran.
