Okay ladies and gentlement I have a challenge for you

Make the Cheapest list(pointwise) you can using all slots in the FOC.

There are some stipulations; all units must be at max size i.e. Tac squads must have 10 marines, Leman Russes must have 3 tanks per squadron etc, you get the idea, and NO apocalypse units/formations


at a later point I may start a new thread that is for the most pricey list.

also Include total point cost(dont need individual unit cost)



EDIT I mean standard FOC so 2hq 3 elite 6 troops 3 fast and 3 heavy support Transports are not required

EDIT 2 Fixing some stuff grammarically

Although, I seem to recall last time this came up that guard came in second. There is something cheaper, and I thought it was ork for some reason.

Also, I'll save you the hassle of the most expensive FOC. It's Space wolves followed by Imperial Guard.

To save repetition, here's where your "Most expensive FoC" has already been done. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/289819.page

There's a link in there to several other threads like it for informational purposes. This thread itself has been done, but if you're not willing to scroll through the forums looking for topics you're interested in, I'm not going to do it for you. =p

You should ask a moderator to move this to "General Discussion" or "Dakka discussion" though, because Army Lists are where folks go to posts lists to get feedback and critique to improve, not so much the random "What if" general discussion.

I don't think so

1. They fall outside of the FOC. They are taken in alongside your HQ choice.
2. All (I have never seen otherwise) are a "you may..." choice. So they are not required.

kaiser the thread said " all units must be at max size"
so wouldn't it be something like 6 units of 30 Death company or something?
