Hey all! I've been playing the game for years mostly 2k points, and so i'm used to the usual, 2 HQs, 6 troops and 3 for the rest. The question is , How much slots for games of other points? For example if i went over 2000 points could i get another slot for each section or something? However, i do one thing, apocalypse throws the FOC out the window

I know what you're thinking, this is an extremely odd question considering i've been in the game for about 5 years... But i lost my rulebook!

Cheers for any assistance on this one!!

We can't provide rules that are absolutely clear in the rulebook. :-/

From 0-1999 points you get a single FOC (1-2 HQ, 2-6 Troops, 0-3 Elites, etc). You can add on 0-1 Fortifications, and an Allied Detachment (which has a mandatory 1 HQ, 1 Troop).
At 2000+ you get a second FOC that is optional. If you decide to use it then you now get 2-4 HQ, 4-12 Troops, 0-6 Elites, etc. You also gain access to a second Fortification, and a second Allied Detachment (which if taken must also meet minimum requirements.
At Apocalypse, there is no FOC, you take what you want and each unit treats any other unit not from the codex as an ally of the defined type (treating CtA as DA).

Excellent! Thanks for clearing that up! I can now continue my guard list Squeee!
