Megalodon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Around these parts 1750, 1850 or 2000 seem to be the accepted norm. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170104-what-size-army/#findComment-2008979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusthetraitor Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Around here, we play anywhere from 1500 to 2000. Most newer folks prefer 1500, while the veterans play 2000 as the events we attend (primarily OFCC, the Ordo Fanaticus Club Challenge) are at that level.

Grey Mage Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 1k or 1500 is what my group usually plays, 1500 or 1850 for tournaments. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170104-what-size-army/#findComment-2009483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzouken Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 1500 points "feels" best. It tends to force specific sacrifices in list building and rarely do you run into a scenario where you lose a vast portion of your list in the first round. As well, 1500 is a very nice point value for Wolves due to the way our retinues rues shake out. 1750 is rough because we're forced to take an HQ, making it so we've only about 150 points to play around with (from the 1500 list) compared to others' 250 points. 1850 is a little better as the extra HQ is less noticed. Big point games can be fun, but generally take a while to play out and can lead to some pretty demoralizing circumstances...

Grey Mage Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 See and I think with the Venerable Dreadnaught being Elites OR HQ we actually have alot of flexability in our HQ lists... but only if you like to take the "ol guys".

I run a Ven Dread and two other HQ's even at 1500 points. Although I loathe 1500 point games and avoid them like the Plague. Personally, I think Wolves are a much better army at higher points values.

Long Fang Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 1750 almost exclusively at my club. Although there is an apoc game comin up. Long Fang Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170104-what-size-army/#findComment-2010270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I partially agree. I think my bane are the 1850 games since I have to have three HQ's v/s 2000 were I can have an additional 150 in goodies not assigned to HQ. 1500 is OK, since you only have to bring two HQ's, but I prefer 2000. Just feels right. 2500 pt games are best but play those rarely. Mostly around here tourneys are 1850 to 2000 and leagues vary widely.

wiplash Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 500-1500 alot of people overlook 500 point games cos you can't get many units in them, not much space for elites or heavy firepower but they can be really fun, they are quite a challenge as you are very limited building my army up so we can play bigger games though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170104-what-size-army/#findComment-2010394 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenrisian Wolf Packs are awesome. There is a tournament coming up for me which is 1250. That points cost was chosen to break up the normal 1500 - 1850 - 2000 point battles and make players redesign lists that have almost become stagnant.

Bjorn the Fell-Handed Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 For me, 1000-1500. I like 1k, because I can get several games in quite easily on Saturdays, while if Im after a bigger game, 1500 helps me get more dakka/fighty goodness. I had a really good 1K game, where I won against a Ghaz/Boyz army list with 4 GH's left :sick: Thank my stars I was holding an objective, while I had bled his troops dry, and that it ended on turn 5 :P :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170104-what-size-army/#findComment-2012031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 1500 to 2000 is the norm around here. Played in a few 1500 Tournaments round this way, not seen anything much larger than that. Though I'm trying to organise a Club for more Apocalypse fun!

greese_m0nkey Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I normally play around 1500-2000. I’m is so cal and play mostly at a GW store if I play smaller it is because one of the newbie’s asked me to play at the level of points they could field at the time. Most fun I have had was fielding all 7500 points of sw I have. That was a fun game of apocalypse.

stinkenheim Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 with my wolves its 2500pts all the way for me... i have a set list (helps with my slow building/converting/painting) and use it in every game so i know how each unit will perform in any given situation. although with guard and 'nids its generally a 3kpt game, same with whfb.

wiplash Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 a true fenrisian attitude "your army is getting too big man" "nah your table is just getting too small" you have to say that to the next person who comments on the size of your army in the negative :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170104-what-size-army/#findComment-2014414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
