jjfelber Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 So 3 brothers and I will be entering a team tourney. Each person needs 1000pts and we all decided to use my wolves! So, there will be many rounds. Each round will use 2 of the 1000pt lists to create a 2000pt battle. So each list needs to work well with each other. Each list is allowed 1 HQ, 1-3 Troops, 1 elite, 1 fast, and 1 heavy. Of the four list We are allowed 1 extra heavy, 1 elite, 1 troop, 1 fast. Each list gets one extra. So I want to get your Ideas on some staples I need for each list. How I should run troops and how I should run a limited elite? First Thoughts 1. Each army gets 5 MLs as the heavy and the army with the extra heavy will have 10 MLs (persuading me otherwise will take some work) 2. All armies should have at least 2 troops. It would be ok If the army with the extra elite only has 1 troop. But If two armies only have 1 troop, one round there will be a match up where our side only has 2 scoring units in 2000pts which is BAD! 3a. I am not really a fan of more than 2 HQs in a 2000 pt Army so I am thinking of forgetting about the army with the extra HQ and only run 1 HQ in each army. 3b. There will be at least 3 Rune priest, and possibly a Wolf Lord. I may forgo the Wolf Lord and go for 4 priests. If I take a WL it will probably go in the elite army or the Fast Attack. 4. Only the army with the extra elite will run WG 5. Riflemen Dreads are great So I am thinking the other three armies will use their Elite choice for a Riflemen each. 6. (Prior Note: I have no TWC) I rarely use fast attack as I dont especially care for the Fast Attack units, So I think If I take a fast attack it will be the army with the WL. I doubt I will utilize the extra fast attack slot. 7. So the next question is, WL with Elites or WL on bike? 8. As for the troops: I almost always run full units of GHs in Rhinos. I love the unit. It can take on anything for the most part. But I would be willing to think of making smaller unit of GHs to save points for other things. What do you all feel about this? Thoughts Questions Concerns?

jjfelber Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 I suppose I could run a couple land speeders in the army with an extra fast attack, Anyone have any luck with running 2 seperate speeders, or maybe 4 speeders 2 squads of 2?

WG Vrox Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 First Thoughts1. Each army gets 5 MLs as the heavy and the army with the extra heavy will have 10 MLs (persuading me otherwise will take some work) Pretty reasonable. all around hard hitting unit that fills a needed nitch in every list. 2. All armies should have at least 2 troops. It would be ok If the army with the extra elite only has 1 troop. But If two armies only have 1 troop, one round there will be a match up where our side only has 2 scoring units in 2000pts which is BAD! Since GH are the best troops in the game 2 full units and a 3rd 5 man GH unit with a Las Plas RB could be very useful. 3a. I am not really a fan of more than 2 HQs in a 2000 pt Army so I am thinking of forgetting about the army with the extra HQ and only run 1 HQ in each army. Depends on how many points you put into the 2HQs, but an extra generic RP to stand with the LF casting LL is always a bonus. 3b. There will be at least 3 Rune priest, and possibly a Wolf Lord. I may forgo the Wolf Lord and go for 4 priests. If I take a WL it will probably go in the elite army or the Fast Attack. If you forgo the Wolf Lord, then you should consider taking Arjac in his stead. 4. Only the army with the extra elite will run WG Arjac would fit here nicely 5. Riflemen Dreads are great So I am thinking the other three armies will use their Elite choice for a Riflemen each. that would make 2 riflemen dreads in every 2k list. I wouldn't suggest it, Go with a good old AC/HF and get him in the action. 6. (Prior Note: I have no TWC) I rarely use fast attack as I dont especially care for the Fast Attack units, So I think If I take a fast attack it will be the army with the WL. I doubt I will utilize the extra fast attack slot. Thats too bad, Land Speeders would be a great option for you to put MM on and fill a needed AV hunter role. 7. So the next question is, WL with Elites or WL on bike? If your not familar in running them, I would not use them in your tournament. 8. As for the troops: I almost always run full units of GHs in Rhinos. I love the unit. It can take on anything for the most part. But I would be willing to think of making smaller unit of GHs to save points for other things. Many many GH for the win. What do you all feel about this? Thoughts Questions Concerns?

MayorDaley Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Question for you mate, When your HQ is on the table will it's rules effect your teammates 1,000 pts as well? For example: you have Logan in your list, will your teammates WG be considered Troops as well?
