a quick question that should be easy for anyone to answer who isnt me (obviously)

When do the points hit high enough to have a 3rd FOC?

4000 points I'd imagine.

1 for 0-1999
2 for 2000-3999
3 for 4000-5999

But above 3000ish points I think you will find that most people will drop the FOC and just go to APOC rules.

They don't. You are allowed to take a 2nd FOC in games of 2000+ points. There is no allowance for a 3rd.

I have a 5000pt list in two FOCs sans allies. But that's GK, where it's easy to rack up points quite quickly.

As to the rules, it's quite clear in the BRB: at 2000+pts, you may have a second FOC. There's no rules for taking a third.

Knowing that limitation, I'd say what Carnage listed is a pretty good house rule. Just be sure you and your opponent KNOW it's a House Rule, and that you both agree on it.

Well we arent going to apocalypse rules. I dont have the apoc book so i dont even know what those rules are but i have a 4500 point game coming with no forgeworld or titans allowed.

This is something you will have to discuss with your opponent.

You get a second FOC at 2k+. If you want to add more you will have to make a house rule, and ask your opponent if they are ok with it.

The Apocalypse-FOC rules are that there are no rules
That's it in a nutshell.

So in APOC with no FOC requirements you could just spam Wraithknights for 4500 points?

Sure. Why not?

There are only a few rules in regards to building your army;
1. Units must be the proper size (min to max).
2. If a model is Unique (such as Ghazkull) there can only be one in the entire game.
3. All models are strict WYSIWYG.

Just a suggestion, at that point level apoc rules are pretty slick so you might consider picking the book up. They actually help the game move a bit more and the master of disaster rules certainly add a fun dimension to the game.
