There's a tournament locally that's using the current 40k codices but with some older rules - namely, that only troops are scoring and only a single CAD can come. I don't have much experience with that style, so any advice? How many troops are important to bring? It's a 1250 pt game.

At 1250pts, being at least 3 Troops units, but probably not more than 4 for most armies.

The old rule of thumb I played by was 1 troop per 500 points, give or take. This was with SM.

My average 1,500 point list had 2 full tac squads and a 5 man scout unit.

Of course, there was a lot less firepower on the table back then, so I might adjust that up a little these days. Maelstrom would also effect things.
