500 Points about 500 Points (Lists, Touraments & Rules, oh my!)

What if a piece of paper was provided with a header "Units I killed in my opponent's deployment zone"? And then players wrote them down? I thought last year's mission involving scoring objectives by each round was going to be a problem, and it actually went very smoothly.

Of more concern is the issue of imbalance. Which codices get penalized for having their models killed? All of them?

Edit: I just realized that this issue of imbalance probably refers to a certain tactic rather than a platitude of codices. And if that's the case, I know about this and am fine with it. What can I say? I'm on a kick of forcing mobility out of players, of creating dynamic missions. Shooting is doing well enough in 6th Edition, I will weep not.

So who's the dick bringing necron fliers?  Is it Rickels?

Since I am going to loose anyways, i thought I would post my list to see what people think of it. It's pretty simple:

 2 units of 3 Eldar Jetbikes in each unit= 132 points

 3 units of 2 War Walkers in each unit, each war walker has 2 scatterlazers. = 360 points
   
  Total= 492 points

The basic theory is sending 48 strength 6 shots of scatterlazers each turn, and having the bikes in reverve so at the last turn they can just go 36+ 2D6 inches to take the objective. Will it work, most likely not. Is it worth a try, yes.

you need 12 runtherds to run that many grots.  you need one every time you hit 10 grots.  A mob of 29 would need 2, while a mob of 30 needs 3.

A crazy idea; 500 pt "megabattle" type game. Think how awesome and quick the game would be....

[andalucien]

haha, that would be totally awesome.  I would be up for that.

We did that one Thursday 40k, and would love to do it again.

Scout Squad x5, Sniper rifle x5 (75)

Thunderfire Cannon (100)

Dreadnought, MM, Heavy Flamer, Drop Pod (150)

I like that, looks balanced. Not much you can do versus fliers, though.

True of the whole codex. I'll just ignore Flyers as they kill my whole army.

Wait, that's a terrible plan.

I'm going to be putting 54% of my eggs in one basket.  One big basket.   Big newly painted basket.   I just finished it, so I gotta run it, even though it doesn't leave much room for the other eggs....

[Sir_Prometheus]

Helldrake(s) I'm assuming.

Hmm... Bloodthirster? Because I'd do that.
