<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "YOU DECIDE MY FATE: 500 pt Escalation League"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net YOU DECIDE MY FATE: 500 pt Escalation League GK since their 3rd edition rules were still around, so they're actually close to my heart, but by the same token, I also kind of always enjoy showing off how good Nids can be when done right. This first game is basically a combat patrol match, no HQ required, and has some stiff limitations on what can be brought, so the lists are legal, even if they don't look it. The following are my two main contenders as far as choices go:

Tyranids "Fist full 'o' Genestealers" - 500 points

12 Genestealers
12 Genestealers
11 Genestealers

Probably boring, but effective. Note that MCs are not allowed until we get to 750 points.

Second up is the Grey Knight list, "From Titan with Cheese".

Vindicare Assassin
5 Strikes, MC Daemonhammer, Psycannon, Razorback with TL HBs and psybolt ammo
5 Strikes, MC Daemonhammer, Psycannon, Razorback with TL HBs and psybolt ammo

So pick for me, there's a poll, and I'll see how well I can do with whatever I'm given.

Sounds like Nids are the likely winners though, which is good. It will give the league some much needed non-Imperial presence.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4346199.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4346199.page GMT YOU DECIDE MY FATE: 500 pt Escalation League http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4346605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4346605.page GMT Re:YOU DECIDE MY FATE: 500 pt Escalation League

Awesome
I bet he was a little dismayed when he saw your list! HAHA]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4349216.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4349216.page GMT Re:YOU DECIDE MY FATE: 500 pt Escalation League
I just don't understand how anyone plays on 4'x4' tables. The balance seems so maladjusted. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4349258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4349258.page GMT Re:YOU DECIDE MY FATE: 500 pt Escalation League

At 500-600 Points you can kite someone around the table as an Eldar player if it isn't a 6x4. In objective based games, and it can be rather unfair. 4x4 allows you to corner people who are fast and actually engage them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4350004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452697/4350004.page GMT
