Do you have to completly fill up your first 2000 pts before you can open up the 2nd FOC?

Or can you open up the 2nd FOC as long as the total is over 2000?

There is a room for massive abuse if it is the 2nd case.


As a Tau player I could do this:

2 Hq's (1 for each Foc)
4 squads of 6 FW (2 per each FOC)
18 Crisis Suits (9 per each foc as elites)

And still come in under 2000. Simpy adding in the required XV88's to get to 2000 pts then it would be legal?

Seems like a recipe for cheese ?

When your game is set at or over 2000 points you just get a second FOC far as I can tell. I guess if you did do a 2000 point game your list would be legal, and it may be cheesing the system a bit, but frankly I'm not that scared of an army with 18 2 wound models at the heart of it at that points level.

It was simply an example... There would be hundred of broken lists with it though. The fact that at 2000 pts I can field 12 Troops slots ect..


If it forced you to fill your first FOC at 2000 pts that would be much less abusive.

360 Dakkagaunts would suck etc
