So I mentioned in a couple of posts that I would be testing the 1500 point version of my 'Foot' Guard army first as I didn't need to do any of the conversions for that variation.
I've since then had 3 E-Mails asking what that is as simply dropping the Elites doesn't bring the points down to 1500.
So here it is,

Total Roster Cost: 1500
It's still got pretty much the same fire-power but has lost the 'trick' units of Marbo and the Psyker Battle Squads. It also has slightly less of a safety margin as there are less Vox's overall and less Meltabombs in the 'Blob' Squads.
It will be adequate for testing purposes and if it works I may take it to one of the UKGT's which are still depressingly behind the times at 1500 points.
BOOOOO for 1500 point gt's!
ReplyDeleteMy iron hands wont fit god damnit!!
There are plenty of 1750 indy GTs around... I don't really like 1500 either but steadily it seems like there is a nice mix now. There are also a few 2k tournaments poping up.
