Anyway, the way someone explained their idea for the league is starting with 500pts and working up in 250pt increments over a few months until you reach 2000. Seems pretty awesome to me. My problem is that the initial HQ and troops stay the same throughout the game, though you can swap out gear and stuff at each tier. Here's what I have:

Spoiler:
Eldrad (too expensive to start out?)
Avatar (same)
a bunch of warlocks (making at least one a spiritseer)
Farseer
Autarch (w/ or w/o a jet bike)

1 box of Wraithguard/blades (MAGNETS!!!)
20 or so Guardians (some might end up as SG or Dire Avengers)
5 Scorpions
6 Fire Dragons
5 or 6 jetbikes (depends on the autarch)

3 Vypers
2 Falcons (proxied as wave serpents to start, i'm sure)
1 wraithlord (I might actually be getting two of these, not sure)

I also have some evil elves from the Dark Eldar battleforce:

1 Archon
10x Kabalites or Trueborns
10x Wyches
1 Raider
3 Reaver jet bikes (will probably get more of these in the future)



So with what I've got, my plan is to focus on Eldar, then sub in some DE allies later for fast up-close damage. I love the look of wraithnouns, so my idea so far is:

HQ: Spiritseer (nekkid) 110pts
10x Guardians w/ Scatter Laser 110pts
5x Wraithguard w/ D-scythe 210pts
1x Vyper w/Scatter Laser & Ghostwalk Matrix 70pts

----OR----

HQ: Farseer on Jetbike w/ Faolchu's Wing & Singing Spear 150pts
Striking Scorpions + Exarch w/ Claw, Chainsword, Crushing Blow & Stalker 145pts
Dire Avengers + Exarch w/ Power Weapon, Shimmershield, Battle Fortune 110pts
5 Jetbikes w/ 1 shuriken cannon 85 pts

watcha fink?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6417382.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6417382.page GMT Building a 500pt Escalation league list
2nd list is alright. faolchuis wing isnt as good as it looks, drop it. the jet bike is fast enough. drop dire avengers down to 5 man with no upgrades, (Later on in the league theyll go into a wave serpent) or drop them all together. Then, with the points, Give the farseer the mantle of the laughing god, and laugh when the opponent shoots at him. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6417410.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6417410.page GMT Building a 500pt Escalation league list
Spritseer
1x Warlock on a bike!
5x Striking Scorpions
3x Jetbikes (w/ warlock attached?)
5x Wraithguard w/ cannons

and #2?
Farseer on a jetbike w/singing spear, and the Mantle
5x Striking Scorpions + Exarch (tricked out)
10x Guardians to die horribly and be consumed by Slaanesh
5x jetbikes w/ 2x shuriken cannons.

I'm sure all end up using all of these (and add in Fire Dragons and Wave Serpents ASAP) eventually. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6418868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6418868.page GMT Building a 500pt Escalation league list
(By the way if you want a really nasty list, autarch with melta gun, and then 2 wave serpents with scatter lasers, holofeilds, and shuiken cannons. thats a nasty list) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6421734.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572383/6421734.page GMT
