List Building Competition: 1.5k Footdar
« on: May 24, 2015, 08:17:02 AM »
•This is the first of (hopefully) many competitions. This one is for 1.5k Footdar. Footdar means only units from the Eldar codex that can walk are allowed. 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, strength of the list, 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 the relevant contest submission 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 7 days 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.

This one should be easy enough. I regularly run footdar as my main list, albeit at 1850 points.  Quick note:  dark reapers can't run (slow & purposeful), but they're still probably acceptable for a "footdar" list entry, right?  What about vaul support batteries?  I know the gunners can run, but what about the guns themselves?  Also, I take it grav tanks that aren't transports are forbidden, right?

So models that can't run are out? Guess we can't use the guardian war host options since they contain Vypers and support batteries. Sad for Reapers too.

I'm betting we'll have other competitions later that call for the use of guardian hosts.

I find the definition of the Footdar theme a bit strange. Imho Reapers, Wraithguards and -lords and VWSBatteries are an essential part of what I consider to be "Footdar". I was also looking forward to make a Guardian themed army for this competition :p

The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.

To verify, war walkers are legal for footdar, right?

Good points there -probably not the best ever definition of footdar.

Original post amended, so footdar now means any unit from the elder codex that can walk.
So wraithlords, wraithguard, dark reapers & vauls wrath are in.

Grav tanks, jetbikes, vipers and flyers are out.

Do we post our submissions here, or will there be a specifically labeled submission post thread?

Here is mine if this is the right place :)

Like Partninja I wasn't sure where to post it, so I dropped it in a new thread, which can be found here.

The part you're all looking for is this ;):

•To submit your army list, post a link to the thread you created in the relevant contest submission 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.

In other words, if you've posted a link to your army list here, then you're following the competition rules correctly :).

Wyldhunt, I've split your post from this topic, so it is now separate ;).
You haunt my in-box like an ex-girl friend could only dream of.

The Mattler's Entry for Eldar List Competition #1: 1500pts Footdar

Reposted with plenty of egg on my face.  The first list was illegal at 1502pts, so I dropped the Scorpion Chainsword from the Autarch.  No other changes were made.

I'm fine with you reposting because of a mistake in point but the end verdict will come from volatilegaz gaz as he is the one setting things up:)

I have 54 views and no comments on my list, so it must be either really good or really bad.
