List Building Competition: 1.5k Phoenix Lord
« on: August 15, 2015, 04:27:15 AM »
•This is the fourth of (hopefully) many competitions. This one is for 1,500 with Phoenix Lord. Your warlord must be a Phoenix Lord, and your army must include at least one unit of your Warlord's aspect. You should build an all-comers lists suitable for both eternal war and maelstrom missions.
•When writing the list, please make sure that it is legible and easy to read. Also please include the points total, plus a short break down of the tactics you plan on using with the list.
•No allies or fortifications allowed. Also, the list must be Bound.
•Each individual contest will have a certain theme that must be adhered to.  Failure to do so will result in your submission being disqualified.
•The lists will be judged by the community, who will vote for the winner. When building and judging lists, please consider the following factors as being typical of a good list: adherence to the theme, competitiveness, ingenuity, quality of accompanying tactics, fun to play and minimal unit spamming
•From the time of this post, you have two weeks to write and submit an army list.  Post your army list in a new thread on the Eldar board and link to that thread by replying to this thread. Please only use this thread for list submissions.
•After posting your list, you may edit it based on comments you receive from the community, but with restrictions.  Any changes must be done to the original post in your army list thread.  Reposting the list further in the thread will not be considered legitimate changes for the contest.
•To submit your army list, post a link to the thread you created in this thread.  Please note, that once you do this you may not make any more changes to your army list!  If your original post in your army list thread shows an edit time after the time you posted your submission, your submission will be disqualified.
•After the two weeks are up, Iris will post a poll with all of the submitted lists for the community to vote on.
•The poll will run for 1 week from the poll being posted, and the person with the most votes will be crowned the victor.
•I will create a new thread for every new contest that will be specifically for the submissions with any additional restrictions for that contest.

Here's the current List-building Olympics medal table. I'll update after each competition

The norm for who? I can't recall ever playing a game at 1,850

1,500pts seems the most challenging level for building lists to me -Large enough to need to be able to deal with all opponent list and unit types, but small enough that you never have quite enough points for everything you want to include.

It's the point level I've always found to leave me agonising over every 5pt upgrade.

1500 used to be at least, what GW used to balance armies with. As stated, true skill in list building comes when making lists around this points limit for reasons already stated.

This theme should produce a good array lists since it's quite open options wise.

I have a couple drafts made up, but having a hard time rounding a few off or even just deciding which I feel is stronger.

Really wanted to make a list focusing on Feugan, since no one has submitted a list with him, but he's just a bad PL. 5x Dragons are similar points, and blow up tanks better. Don't need Fuegan for that. He's decent in CC, but a single character won't carry them in combat. He could be useful in a non-aspect unit, or even a unit of non-dragons, but I feel the later isn't fluffy and there are better characters for that.

My Karandras list is the strongest, but he's popular anyway. My list is a bit different than others have posted so far though.

Just a note to you all that I am unlikely to post the poll this weekend, so voting will probably begin on Monday.

I'm in for it as well. Nice exercise, since I almost never take the Phoenix Lords into account when creating an army list.
