Simple question-how many points is a standard 30k game?

Ranges from 2000 - 3000

2500 seems to be the general most popular from what i see. as at that point level every legion can take their primarch.
At 2k Tsons and SoH are left out in the cold for Primarch time.

Our group has moved back to 2k games and we're really enjoying it. The lack of Primarchs and Lords of War (we only really have the proper big ones which all went up quite a bit in points) has meant the infantry all actually plays a role in the battles and doesn't get one turn before being atomised.

I would advice to play smaller battles. Takes less time and you just can´t take your whole collection. In addition you have to think what units you need to achieve the mission.
