Aren't there laws against that sort of thing?:)


No rules are broken by this pairing. Just one of the space wolves armies has all the beer and the other one wants it. :D

Dave, Robert, let me work something out, see if I can feasibly work a 10 person league in with the current 8 game lineup. I might just have it so some people don't play each other, or have a few more games at the lower point values.

To anyone else, sorry, but I am going to have to cut it off here at 8/10.

Sounds good to me. I've begun the assembly of my nids and have a preliminary color scheme in mind. Looking forward to hearing the go/no-go for this one.

Worse comes to worse, it's given me a motivational kick start on the building of this army.

Ok Dave and Robert. I got it all worked out. We will play 2 more games, one at 1000 pts, and one at 1500 pts. That means two games at each of those pt values. This shouldn't have any effect on any of the rules, other than the tentative schedule is now incorrect.

Since I already have players paired, You two will have to play for game 1, so I don't have to change their pairings.

And can I get an army down for you Dave?

To what extent would Forgeworld rules be allowed. I'd only use them for the 35pt Rhinos (sisters don't get any cool Forgeworld toys), but it's good to know.

I will refrain from using Repressors, regardless.

Edit:

Oh, and can you decrease squad sizes as games go on, out of necessity. Such as, you end up with say 40 extra points you can't spend on anything, but if you dropped one Tac Marine you could get a Landspeeder. You already have a 10man Tac Marine squad, so you can't get more. In cases like that, would it be ok to drop one tac marine for that game, then buy him back when you go to higher point levels.

i would be ok with 35 pt rhinos, but I would say, if you pay the pts for a cheaper rhino, you get the cheaper upgrades. That is, 35 pt rhino has 4+ cover smoke, not glancing smoke.

As for the second question, the senario you described would not be allowed. Once a model is bought, it has to stay. I know that means things like that can happen, but I think it forces creative list building, and tactical thinking. i.e. you want both a land speeder squad and devastators, you have to choose which will help you in the next game, and hold off on the other.

Remember, wargear is not permanent, so if you really want something, look to your wargear for ways to squeeze something else in.

Ok, I'll use 35pt Rhinos, then. The only vehicles I'll probably be using are Rhinos and Exorcists anyways.

On a side note, I just played a 1500pt game with pure sisters, using more or less the 1500pt list I'm aiming for in this league, and had a blast.

I've decided to use my Tau for the escalation league. I just didn't have enough time over the break to get 500 pts of Orks ready. That, and I still have so much to finish in my Tau army. I hope this doesn't affect the campaign negatively...Please let me know if it does.

Started a new thread to post results for each round and an easier way to see the pairings and objectives of the round.
