How cheaply can you fill up all the FOC? (edited for being apparently ambiguos) The only stipulation being that you have at least one unit capable of scoring (i.e. one scoring troop unit)? Here is the Dark eldar one.
(1 haemy) x2
(1 grotesque)x3
(3 wracks)x6
(1 beastmaster)x3
(Cronos)x3
671pts

Secondary challenge: Make a legal army for 100 points or less.

You said fill the FOC. The SW FOC allows us to take 2 characters per HQ slot. And yeah i did forget Lone Wolves and i can't remember if Long Fangs are automatically at 5 men or you have to buy them... but it doesn't matter anyway 'cos you have to buy heavy weapons which i think puts the over 85 points.

The challenge is fill the F.O.C. as cheaply as possible, taking your two characters isn't as cheaply as possible in my book. Is two men in a long fang pack sorry bout that.

I'm looking at Gwar!'s lists for the lowest point FOC, and it looks like we beat alot of them.

I can't make the Ork one lower, because of the Damned Runtherder. If that wasn't there, I would be at 95 pts.

Big Mek - 35 pts
10 Grots, 1 Runtherd - 40pts
10 Grots, 1 Runtherd - 40pts

Total: 115.

Orks have a high Min, compared to some of the other Xenos.

What about a 'Nid list? That would be kinda cheap, no?

Yeah, no kidding. Marines really struggle at low points because buying just 2 tac squads and an HQ often eats up most of your 500 points.

Awesome, you beat me to it! The cool thing about this army is that its actually not that bad. A couple of tweaks like throwing a powersword on an autarch and turning the other into a doomseer and its a legitimate 1000 points well spent, the only dumb units are the footslogging fire dragons, not much can be done about that short of upping the ante of this game by buying transports but then it wouldnt be playing any more.

The cheapest legal Eldar is 190 points, nowhere close to the mark. I threw together Marines at 1100 points of very expensive suck:

Plus, it should be noted that no one else's list has anything that denies WBB. Really, you have 38 warriors worth of units there, which makes it expensive, but much more powerful than anyone else's list. Plus, you get anti-tank for free...
