Which is the more common breakdown for larger armies? 2400 divides easier but I see a lot of lists at 2500. Which is more common in events and/or tournaments?


ha. funny.

tournament sizes are either 35 or 50pts. Some limited tournaments (eg Gencon) do 75pt tournaments as the "masters final" kind of thing. PP changed the points scale when they brought in Mark2. and that was 3 years ago - you're a bit behind the times im afraid!

But no... 2500pts would have you playing until you're 90! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5147734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5147734.page GMT Army Lists - 2400 or 2500?

Calculate the surface area of a standard 48*48 board in square mms

Then calculate the surface area occupied by a 50mm base. This is because Heavy 'Jacks actually tend to cover the least area per point. That is to say 'Jacks are the most efficient use of points when trying to occupy as little board space as possible.

Then calculate the number of Heavy 'Jacks (typically 6-9pts) you could bring at 2500pts.

Then just multiply the area of a single base by the number of bases you'd wind up bringing and double that number (2 players).

Can you fit it all on the board? If not, how big would your board have to be to fit them all on?
How long would the board need to be to fit a single army in a standard 10" deep deployment zone?
How big would the board need to be playable (say only 20% of the surface area actually covered with model's bases)?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5148109.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5148109.page GMT Army Lists - 2400 or 2500?

WHFB section since IIRC a lot of WHFB tournaments are 2400-2500 points. I think even in MK1 Warmachine/Hordes army lists were generally like... 500 to 750 points.

I maek srs post and ruin everyone's fun!

I've never even seen anyone playing Unbound games but I've read about a couple of 100 and 150 point games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5149233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5149233.page GMT Army Lists - 2400 or 2500?

Yea, yea. Good to see the Warmahordes guys are such talented comedians.

I'll PM a mod to get this moved.

Knuckleheads.

UK for example 2400 is much more standard.

Personally though, I prefer 2500. The top armies get an extra 100pts of stuff, but weaker armies benefit more from the additional lord/rare points. For example, High Elves can use the 25 extra to make a much better Star Dragon, and Wood Elves can make a much more viable triple tree list (Annoyance on Ancient + Scroll on level 4 in lords, and double Treeman + eagle in rare).

All of the bent rare/lord combinations (double Abomb/Ironblaster/Slann/Grey Seer) can already be taken at 2400, as well as all their magic item toys, which is why I think they don't benefit as much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5149352.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5149352.page GMT Army Lists - 2400 or 2500? 40k trying to play 1850 for some reason.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5149602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498841/5149602.page GMT
