View Full Version : List Building Competition Killswitch April 14th, 2008, 03:43 Come one! Come all!
Think you have the best list? Can you trump everyone else?
Well, if you believe this, then this is the place for you! Every week or so, Phoenix and I will have a theme. You will build a list, enter, and possibly win! How do you do this, you may ask. Well, it is very simple.
Entering The Contest-
To enter, please follow the theme that will be set. Using the theme and point limit, you are free to make a list that is of legal gaming configuration. Use only legal Codexi/Army Books. This is open to both Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40,000.
To enter the contest, PM me your list with the heading 'List Contest'.
Okay, there's the jist of it. Each week or so (maybe longer if there are not enough participants) we will host a theme and point limit. It can be anything, so be prepared!
After you enter, Phoenix and I will judge each list based on certain criteria, of which we will let you know, for each theme. We will pick a winner, and we will hopefully find some kind of prize. (Hopefully we will find a good one, suggestions work too ;))

Theme 1
Hardest Hitters - 2000 Points - Warhammer 40,000
In this competition, you will create a list which utilizes an armies hard hitting units. You will construct your list based upon this, but still making the list legal. (Two troops, 1 HQ)
The Criteria - How hard each unit will hit, how the list will survive, and how many hard hitting units it carries.
YOU HAVE ONE WEEK! GET TO IT! The contest will close on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 23:59 GMT (11:59)
Any questions, feel free to ask.
-J Apachetear April 14th, 2008, 17:44 Can you define hard hitting.
Are you talking CC or firepower? Or is it delibarately ambiguous so it could be either ;-) Killswitch April 14th, 2008, 22:38 Either works. Just make sure it is truly hard hitting if you want to win.
-J
Edit-- REMEMBER! To enter, send me YOUR LIST via PM, not just a PM! Do NOT post your lists here! You could help someone cheat! hazzbob April 21st, 2008, 22:14 OK this sounds cool... whats the next theme????

Here are the lists. A winner to come soon. Killswitch April 22nd, 2008, 01:03 Okay, so, after a long diliberation and discussion, Phoenix and I have both decided that Swntzu has got this one. The number of DS termie's is just painful, and hits hard in both shooting (ass. cannons) and combat.
Phoenix has the next theme. Look for WHFB!
-J Phoenix April 22nd, 2008, 01:06 Congratulations Swntzu! If you'd kindly post here then you shall receive your prize :)

Details of the next round will be up soon. forumjayz May 16th, 2008, 15:52 ok sorry I didn't enter this last compitition still wating for my army book for my daemons to make solids lists :) hopefully it's in by the next competition
Keep us posted phoenix :) Phoenix May 16th, 2008, 15:54 Ok, came up with this one in a moment of genius inspiration, so lets run with it.
The Horde!
System: 40K, WFB, LotR
Points: Up to you! :)
Other: Must be a legal army!
Thats right, you pick the game, the army, and the points limit.
The criteria, well, make a horde list. BUT it needs to be good. Its your decision as to whether 1000 2pt models will be able to take on all comers and come out on top, or do you go for 750 of the things and bulk out with a few hard hitters... OR just a tank horde. 100 tanks in 10K... thats still a horde in my eyes :)
PM all completed lists to me. Rough details of some more obscure items would be nice too incase i cant get to the right book to check.
3.... 2.... 1.... GO! forumjayz May 16th, 2008, 15:56 ok Pm the list to you again then?
well I will try and think of something :) | |
