It spits out a C'Tan that pie plates a unit and also drops it's 8 s4 shots.

And best of all? i think that would actually be a fun necron list to play against :)it has some good stuff but isnt regular necron retardation

It's weak against fliers. Could drop the Ghost Ark for a Night Scythe, leaving 15 points. Could take some different C'Tan powers, or drop some scarabs for ... Something else?

lol tomb blades :Pyou could take a single flier of your own, no?

I could drop the Monolith for a Doom Scythe and tool the C'Tan completely different. (S9 AP2 shooty? Or close combat with the Gaze & Times Arrow, or the redeploy some dudes thing... _)

Unsure about the Ctan, can he put up much fight in CC if tooled right? or would he be better just shooting with the rest of the army adding to their firepower. If he can be a good enough CC deterrent, then he might be worth keeping like that.

I think this is 15/20 ... It'll win all of its games.

Though, i think we are overthinking the comp scores. appearance/painting is worse than comp, and so is the army list,section. but whateva.

someone is going to win this thing with a 3-3 record cuz they pwn face at painting and used a 3D printer to print out an army list that looks Like the emporers throne.

Sorc takes strategic genius warlord trait, to fiddle with reserve rolls. drakes I'd want asap, but i'de probably re-roll successful daemonette rolls on turn 2, keep them off the board until an opportune time.

I think the 2nd list is probably better Mike. Like I said before I am just ignoring the composition scoring and taking my standard 1500 list. I agree that painting/theme/list/whatever will be more important, along with the battle points.

Army list is worth 10 points, looks pretty easy to get 5/10 or so.
Comp is worth 20
Battle Points are worth 90 (looks challenging to max out, if you go 6-0, likely get 65/90 here) == Best General award goes to Comp & Battle
Appearance is like 40 or something?
Sportsmanship is 10.
Some sort of "Army Theme score"?

For a total of 230.

Hrm... I need to review those missions, I think.

I was going to pick the scoring trait for my Destroyer Lord, but I think I might just have to do things... Differently. There's a lot of things an army has to be able to do to get those battle points. Scarabs might be a very useful tool in the tool box, as would a Night Scythe.

Well the biggest for me is trying to get those damn objectives out of their tanks without wrecking them. I am almost considering taking the salvage warlord trait because of it. (AV 10 - hammerhead shoots it 50/50 explodes, ruins objective)

just assault it with something that has str 4?...errr, stealth suits? :s lol Well rapid fire fire warriors should have a decent chance and not making it go boom.

Not too sure what ill do, maybe just wreck them all then no one gets any

Come at me bro list...

Master of deception on the khorne lord, and then a turn or two of distraction while my stuff runs up in yer face and pokes you to death.... oh and a baleflamer.

-2 comp score for 435 points of HQ. Bloodthirster is a single model, so doesn't count towards flyer or MC totals, if i read the comp crap correctly.

If you're running a lvl 3 sorcerer, the spell familiar is well worth 15 pts.

will probably shave a daemon or something to come up with it. sorc + khorne lord would be leading the large unit of cultists, so biomancy will be on the menu

I'm short on shooting, but many of the missions rely on taking and holding areas of the board or objectives  so scoring units  and units that can push others around seem to be the order of the day.

Tried Making a Higher Comp score list. Eldar was over on Heayv, Fast, HQ, and Transports..... So I looked back at Guard.

-1 Too much HQ (The way I read it, 400 points is -1, 401 points was -2, if its the other way around I'll move some wargear points)
-1 2nd Heavy Support

actually, could you guys link the comp score stuff, I think my source is outdated. It did not mention flyers

Here's the "we don't like Ravenwing, Deathwing, Loganwing, Draigowing, or Chicken Wings." Rules.

COMPOSITION (20 Points)

Composition judging will be done in advance of the event. Army lists must be submitted for composition judging prior to the event.

Send your army list here: armylist@astronomi-con.com – or mail it to the address on the registration form in the Registration section.


NOTE: Army Lists must be submitted in one of the following formats: HTML, DOC, XLS, RTF, TXT, PDF.

Army lists must be broken down into HQ, TROOPS, ELITE, FAST ATTACK, and HEAVY SUPPORT sections,
with all vehicle upgrades, wargear, unit options and points listed. Also, be sure to include your full name with your army list submission!.



Composition is scored as follows: Start with a full 20 points and deduct from that total as indicated below.

FORCE ORGANIZATION SECTION

-1 for the fifth Troops selection.
-1 for the sixth Troops selection.

-1 for a third Fast Attack selection.
-1 if the third Fast Attack selection is a triplicate.
-1 for a fourth Fast Attack selection.

-1 for a second Elites selection.
-1 for a third Elites selection.
-1 if the third Elites selection is a triplicate*.
-1 for a fourth Elites selection.

-1 for a third Heavy Support selection.
-1 for a fourth Heavy Support selection.
-1 for a duplicate* Heavy Support selection.
-1 for a triplicate* Heavy Support selection.



All of the above include any allied forces selected.

* duplicate and triplicate selections refer to having a second or third selection of the same unit entry in the codex in your army. Varying wargear or a unit’s upgrades does not alter the status of a unit as a duplicate or triplicate selection.

Note that duplicate and triplicate penalties apply based on the ‘home’ Force Org position of a unit. For example, a player taking 3 Vanguard Squads but taking them as Troops due to a special character will not take the penalty for 3 FA choices, but will take the -1 ‘Triplicate’ selection for having a triplicate of the same Fast Attack choice.

All points are cumulative (so if you have 4 HS choices then you take -1 for 3rd and another for 4th for a total of -2, with another -1 if it is duplicate and yet another if it is triplicate).

“Home” Troops units never suffer minuses for duplicates (taking 2, 3, or even 4 Tactical Space Marine squads will not cause any kind of a Force Org Penalty).





POINTS SECTION

-1 for more than 300 points of HQ.
-1 for each full 100 points of HQ over 300 points.

-1 for less than 300 points of Troops.
-1 for less than 200 points of Troops.
-1 for more than 800 points of Troops.
-1 for more than 1000 points of Troops.

-1 for more than 300 points of Fast Attack.
-1 for each full 150 points of Fast Attack over 300 points.

-1 for more than 300 points of Elites.
-1 for each full 150 points of Elites over 300 points.

-1 for more than 300 points of Heavy Support.
-1 for each full 150 points of Heavy Support over 300 points.

-1 for more than 150 points of Dedicated Transports.
-1 for each full 150 points of Dedicated Transports over 150 points.

-1 for more than 200 points of flyers/flying Monstrous Creatures unless all points are for a single model (this includes any upgrades). Single models are counted in their own Force Organization total.
-1 for each full 150 points of flyers/flying Monstrous Creatures over 200 points.

All of the above include any allied forces selected.

All points combinations exclude any dedicated transports and their wargear/equipment (all of which go into the dedicated transport section).

All points combinations (including dedicated transports if any) of vehicles with the rating ‘Flyer’ or Flying Monstrous creature, go into the flyer category. As an example, Necron Night Scythes are both flyers and dedicated transports – in this case they go into the flyer category.

For forces which are bought out of their ‘home’ slot (Fast Attack which ‘count as’ Troops for instance due to the presence of a commander model, or elite cult units which count as Troops due to the presence of a marked Chaos Lord) there is a special case. Half of the points for these units count in ‘Troops’. The other half is still counted in their ‘home’ Force Org area.



Example for calculating Composition:



Mike is taking a Space Marine Army to Astronomi-con. This army consists of:

HQ

1 Chaplain (100 Points)
1 Company Captain w Command Squad (100 + 115)

Troops

2 Tactical Squads in Rhinos (170+35 and 170+35)
1 Scout Squad (90)

Elites

1 Dreadnought (105)
1 Sternguard squad in a drop pod (180+35)

Fast Attack

1 Space Marine Bike Squad (100)

Heavy Support

1 Devastator Squad in a Razorback (136+40)
1 Whirlwind (85)



Total army cost 1496



Example of Force Organization Section scoring:

HQ

There are no penalties for HQs in the Force Org Section, so nothing for the HQ choices.

Troops

There are only three Troop choices, so no penalties for those. Note that even though there are two tac squads, there is no penalty for duplicating a ‘home’ troop choice.

Elites

For Elites there are two being taken but they are not duplicates. As such a -1 penalty applies. Had Mike taken a pair of Dreadnoughts or Sternguard Squads (regardless of specific options/transports) he would have taken an additional -1 for a duplicate Elite choice

Fast Attack

With only a single FA choice being taken, there are no penalties

Heavy Support

Mike has decided his army needs two heavy support choices to handle what he is likely to meet. As there is no penalty for a second HS choice, he loses nothing for taking two. As the choices are not duplicates (two devastator squads or two whirlwinds for example) he does not take a minus for a duplicate or triplicate HS choice.



Mike’s total Force Org Section score is a -1, having lost only a single point for having two elites.



Example of Points Section scoring:

HQ

Mike has a total of 315 points of HQ which is a -1 for being over 300 points.

Troops

With a total of 430 points in troops, Mike takes no minuses – The dedicated transports are counted in the dedicated transports section

Elites

Mike has 285 points of Elites which is under 300 points so no penalties.

Fast Attack

The bike squad is only a small unit worth 100 points so accrues no penalties.

Heavy Support

Despite having 2 HS choices they are quite inexpensive. With only 261 points of HS, no penalties apply.

Dedicated Transports

This army has a number of inexpensive dedicated transports totaling only 145 points. No penalties apply.



Mike’s total Points Section score is a -1, for the HQ.

With both penalties combined, Mike will score an 18 Composition out of a possible 20 points.



Example of ‘Troops from another segment of the List’

Justin takes Logan Grimnar and 890 points of Wolf Guard models in Terminator armor for his ‘Loganwing’ army. These are purchased in 3 units of Wolf Guard. He also has a dreadnought (normally you couldn’t have ‘four elites’ but three of these are going to be moved to troops, so it’s okay.

For the Force Organization section, Justin takes -1 for a triplicate Elite (three Wolf Guard units) but as each is being moved to the Troops section he takes no negatives for having multiple Elites. Only the Dreadnought is staying there so he has only one ‘Elite Choice’.

Justin’s army has no other Troop units in it, so he is considered to have 445 points worth of Troops. However he is also considered to have 445 points of Elites models from these choices which he then adds to the 115 point Dreadnought he has also purchased from Elites for a total of 560 points of Elites. Justin will take -2 for his Elites choices: -1 for being over 300 points and -1 for each full 150 points he is over his 300 allowance.(560-300=260/150=1.73 rounded down to 1).

So just for his Elites/Troops choices, Justin takes a -3. Then there is the rest of his army to consider.



Example of Flyer scoring:

Damien takes two Stormravens in his Blood Angels army. Each is bought with sponson upgrades costing 230 points for a total of 460 points of flyers. On the Force Org chart he will take -1 for a Duplicate HS.

In the points section he will take -2, -1 for more than 200 points of flyers and -1 for a full 150 more over that 200. Had he taken only a single Stormraven, he would have lost no points as a single flyer is only 1 HS choice and you may have any number of points in a single aircraft without penalty. The Stormraven would count toward his Heavy Support tally, but as this is his only Heavy Support selection and is under 300 points, he takes no additional minuses.
