500 Pt escalation Campaign

[manrogue]

Another suggestion would be people to post there lists and take a look at the extremes, IE Serpent Spam, Drop Pod Spam, anything spammed/too good, IE Centurions with grav are awesome at any points level, but if people aren't taking them, then no point limiting/banning

Things like Riptides and Wraithknights are deadly at 500pts as well, also Summoning, or both just an example..

Farseer - Spiritstone, Jetbike - 130
3 Jetbikes - 51
3 Jetbikes - 51
Wraithknight - 240

And with 28pts to spare to spend, basically the Farseer Summons from a hidden position while the Wraithknight causes a distraction and the Jetbikes are reserved/kept on the field as needed, then score.

Comp is difficult and there will always been a away around it, but if people are open with the lists or you can invite people to PM them your lists, if you have an idea of what you don't want to see.

Another idea is to have a Highlander campaign, no duplicate of any unit, bar 2 troops and a limit of 2 of the same transports (stops the problems with marines/necrons/tau from being limited to 2 troops choices). Doesn't stop a lot of nasty combos but would stop a lot of spamming?

Yeah, i was aiming for the highlander idea. The main thing i am aiming for is keeping it accessible for all, i have quite a few new guys signed up that have not played many games (if any) and want to keep it fun, avoid drama and streamlined as possible. I don't want to blanket ban things but know some things are game breakingly good at low points level (Riptides FTW ).
What would you suggest psychic powers wise?
I would think invisibility and summon would be the main two to do something with, but as i don't use psychics not sure if there is anything else.

For lists, i am going to create a thread and post mine in there shortly, if people could PM me theirs (preferably from battlescribe) i'll add them to it.
