List Building Competition: 1,750 War Host
« on: July 23, 2015, 07:30:11 AM »
•This is the third of (hopefully) many competitions. This one is for 1,750 Warhost. Warhost means all units must form part of a Guardian Battle Host, Windrider Host, or Guardian Storm Host. 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.

This one is going to be cool

Edit: Check this out for a competition idea later down the road. We post some kind of uber TAC 2000pt  army of whatever and the competition is to build a 1500pt list that can counter it as best as possible. Maybe survive the longest or something?

Nice idea.
Maybe I'll make it a "beat the champ" competition. Whoever gets the most gold medals posts a list, and the rest of us build a counter-list. 8)

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I tossed and turned about tweaking it, but I just had to go with the double warhost. In fact I loved the list so much, I'm looking to pickup some stormies myself.  ;D

In the future, please use the modify button. Double posting is against the forum rules, and for that reason, the system merged your posts.

Hey just wanted to ask since there is some confusion. I was under the impression that the competition was to use units only from the warhosts (windrider, guaridan, storm) i think because if you added auxilliary units its basically saying.. Take any unit u want since 90% of units can be taken in aux formations. Can you clear this up please? Ty and sorry for posting in replies!

Yes auxiliary units are allowed (and indeed at least 1 is required) -basically so long as your entire list gets the matchless agility rule from being part of the warhost, and you have satisfied the composition criteria (manadatory units from whichever of the 3 core warhosts you choose, plus at least 1 auxiliary unit), then you are fine.

I think every unit can be chosen, but it's not quite a free-for-all. You can't take only 1 unit of wraithguard or aspect warriors, for example.

If anyone has posted a list that doesn't comply with this because I hadn't explained myself well enough, feel free to change it & re-submit.
