This is an escalation league, right? Expect to see all kinds of strength "D" weapon shenanigans. Which will wreck your face faster than a guardsman can go to ground. LOL If you can't get your hands on a super heavy (recommended), then your next best option is a void shield relay network. This will give you (3) 12" bubbles of protection from the ridiculous onslaught of firepower that an escalation army can bring.

Just as an example, I'm working on a 2000 point escalation army right now, CSM with Deamon allies and just the first salvo alone would kill 2/3 of your army on the first turn. (2) S "D" blasts, (15) S 6 AP 3 shots (that's just from the titan), (8) S 8 AP 4 hades rounds (pinning), (1) S 10 AP 2 Demolisher cannon round (large blast), and (1) S 8 AP 5 Skull cannon round (ignores cover, dreadskulls, large blast). These are the things that you should look out for in an escalation game. You've been warned. lol ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369428.page GMT 1500 point list for Escalation league, input would be greatly appreciated http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369550.page GMT 1500 point list for Escalation league, input would be greatly appreciated CC and short ranged shooting so i would do 2 chaplins 2 squads of 20 crusaders 10 initiaits and 10 neophyts all with 2 CCWS (chaplins go here), 3 vindicators and some storm talons for aa.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369784.page GMT 1500 point list for Escalation league, input would be greatly appreciated http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6369997.page GMT 1500 point list for Escalation league, input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks you. I really want to do at least 1 full 20 man Crusader squad, but as of yet I only have 5 Neophytes :/ And I'm actually working on more Assault Termies, to come stampeding out of my Land Raider, once I get my Crusader Squad built up to where they can't ride around in it anymore.

Also, I think a storm raven would also make a terrifying addition to this list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6377353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569723/6377353.page GMT
