500 Pt escalation Campaign

[manrogue]

Personally, I think the only restriction should be the points, follow the normal rules for army organisation.

Could you expand a bit more please JJ?

Not quite sure i'm following you....
Do you mean no restrictions at all in force organisation?

The idea here is to retain some semblance of balance in a very unbalanced system (which is what 40k is lol). What i'm trying to avoid is people creating massively unbalanced list.

For example, with eldar i could go-

+++ Eldar serpent spam (460pts) +++

++ Eldar: Codex (2013) (Combined Arms Detachment) (460pts) ++

+ HQ (100pts) +

Farseer (100pts) [Witchblade]

+ Troops (360pts) +

Dire Avengers (180pts) [5x Dire Avenger]
··Wave Serpent [Twin-linked shuriken cannons]

Dire Avengers (180pts) [5x Dire Avenger]
··Wave Serpent [Twin-linked shuriken cannons]

So by month 3 i have a decent sized (4) serpent spam list that is hard to kill and kicks out a hell of a lot of fire power, as well as having 8! Obj sec units.

Which is fine for me, but some of the new guys are not gonna have a fun time dealing with that list. I want this to be accesible to everyone and not be ruled by spam armies.

Feel free to chime in with why you'd want it the other way (if indeed that was what you were implying lol), i'd rather debate and sort these things out before we start it.

Edit just realized that your running Eldar JJ and that you might think i was implying that you in the above example, which I'm not! Serpents are the go to unit for OP'ness as they are transport that is also a very effective gun boat, which is why i used them above example.
