Barzyn Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ok my club is starting an escalation league, 500 pts then goes up 50 - 150 pts every week after that (starts in 2 weeks). we go over rules next weekend (on saturday) then week after that it starts. What should i run for a 500 pt list, i got two lists, 1 list with 1 chaos lord, mark of nurgle with lightning claws + aura of dark glory, 1 lvl 2 sorcerer (nothing fancy, he just has mark of nurgle) 2 units of 5 plague marines (2 plasma guns 1 in each squad) thats 495 pts. the 2nd list i have is 1 lord, aura of dark glory, lightning claws, mark of nurgle, 2 units of 5 plague marines (2 plasma guns 1 in each squad) and 1 helbrute with multi melta and power fist. Is it better to run with 2 hq's or just run with the 1 hq and the 2 troop + the elite?

Jay Taint Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'd run the Helbrute. AV12 isn't the most difficult thing to crack, but it's disproportionally more difficult in smaller games. I love running a Helbrute at 400 or 500 points.However, the Sorcerer list might be more flexible to escalate on. In playing escalation I find it really important to plan ahead ...

Barzyn Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 yeah i plan to plan ahead, i can do both i guess, try each list out and see what works better i suppose, i could also swap in 3 bikers and drop the aura of dark glory on the lord too, i'm still learning my way around 6th edition yet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278288-escalation-league-question/#findComment-3418317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryrich Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 i like to run only 1 HQ at low points. bikes are a "better" choice (they are fast, hit hard and are pretty tuff to kill) than the helbrute. That being said, i'd probably take the brute cuz I like them at low points games.
