I, like a fair number of you, it seems, have joined an escalation league. Like most, our first month will be set at a low points value, 500 pts.

I'm wondering how you think lists at this point level should be built? Do you try to put as many boots on the ground as possible, or do you take the minimum hq and 2 troops and give them all the bells and whistles?

We have the additional constraint of taking only hq and troops at 500. How does this affect your list?

I intended this as a general topic, but, I will be using khorne csm then add daemons later.

The 2 lists I have currently are:

1: chaos lord - juggernaught, aobf, the 4++, meltabombs, mark of khorne
Berserkers(10) - icon of wrath, lightning claw, meltabombs
Csm(5) - plasmagun, mok, melta bombs

2: chaos lord - MoK, Lightning claw, meltabombs
Berserkers(10)
Csm(5) - plasma gun, mok
Csm(5) - plasma gun, mok

I dont have the lists on me so forgive lack of point values

We can change the roster at 1000
