commcomp space marines

here's my first crack at this.  if i understand it right, this is worth 2 credits; 1 for taking a drop pod, +1 for being over 55 models.

I get 3, this'll be using small game rules so +1 for 3 rhino/razorbacks.

oh? okayyy...i didn't see any mention that the small games penalties were being used.  i thought that was for tournaments below 1500pts.

It wasnt explicitly stated in tourney thread, but Small is 1000-1749, large is 1750+. Its on the CommComp document.

might wanna reread that one beau; you're skipping page 2 of the document and misreading the chart title on page 3 to mean something else.

Both say 1700 is the cut off. Either way, this is considered small.

here's a variant using a full battle company:

1 Credit for over 55 models
2 Credit for 3 Drop Pods
2 Credit for having 2x3 Free Transports from fielding a Battle Company.

totals to 43 (86%) Tournament score per game.

Formation: Battle Company (65#, 1497 pts)
. . Chapter Master (Orbital Strike; Red Scorpions Relic Blade(Axe); The Shield Eternal; Jump Pack)

. . Chaplain (Bolt Pistol; Crozius Arcanum; Jump Pack)

. . 5 Tactical Squad (Meltagun; Combi-Melta)
. . . . 1 Razorback (Lascannon and TL Plasma Gun)

. . 10 Tactical Squad (Plasma gun; Plasma Cannon; Combi-Plasma)
. . . . 1 Razorback (Lascannon and TL Plasma Gun)

. . 10 Tactical Squad (Grav-gun; Grav-cannon; Combi-Grav)
. . . . 1 Rhino (Storm Bolter)

. . 5 Tactical Squad (Flamer; Combi-Flamer)
. . . . 1 Drop Pod

. . 5 Tactical Squad (Meltagun; Combi-Melta)
. . . . 1 Drop Pod

. . 5 Tactical Squad (Multi-melta)
. . . . Drop Pod

. . 5 Devastator Squad (Lascannon x2)


Composition Report:
HQ: 2
Troops: 6

another idea i had today:

2 Credits for 3 Drop Pods
1 Credit for placing Grav cannons on centurions
1 Credit for taking a centurion squad
1 Credit for centurion squad that can board a drop pod.
5 total credits, 43 (86%) tournament points.
