Hey all. Starting an Escalation League in the next few months (around October to give time for the first 500 points to be bought, assembled and painted) and want to get some feedback.
Before I start, here're the restrictions:
1) Army must be a singe Battleforged CAD.
2) You cannot remove any UNIT from your army. You can change numbers, load-out, dedicated transports, etc. but if you take a unit of Kabalites, for example, your next list must contain a unit of Kabalites.
And my own restriction: Kabal only. This is mostly because I don't want to buy any Coven stuff when it might be getting plastic'd in a few months.
So here goes:
HQ - 65
-- Archon w/ Venom Blade (basically a tax. He'll be out of LoS near the Trueborn)
Elite - 56
-- 3x Trueborn w/ 2x Splinter Cannon
Troops - 250
-- 5x Kabalite Warriots w/ Blaster
-- Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon
-- 5x Kabalite Warriots w/ Blaster
-- Venom w/ extra Splinter Cannon
Heavy Support - 125
-- Ravager w/ Nightshield & Flickerfield
Gives me 5 Darklight weapons and 6 Splinter Cannons which should lay down a reasonable amount of firepower. Mobility lets me avoid any assault-y armies.
I know I'm facing the following (with some changes/additions/etc possible):
-Iron Hands Marines
-Eldar
-Tyrannids
-Orks
-Space Wolves
-Imperial Guard or Marines (player undecided)
-Necrons
Anyone have any thoughts or tips to share?
