The original intention was to get a legal force within the 1st 2 months... 1 HQ and 2 Troops.... no point restirction of any size was made... and then in month 3, you get it to a playable size (250, 500, 750) whatever is good for you...
Here is an example.
Month 1 & 2, Farseer on JB, with Mindwar (105pts)... 3 Jetbikes with 1 Cannon (76pts), 3 Jetbikes with 1 cannon (76pts)... Totals.. 257pts... Its legal but it aint much to work with.. so in month 3, this army could add 243 points to be a 500pt playable force..... Or he could even add 43 points and do a 300pt game if he has an opponent that is willing.
Does that make sense... Anyway, I think that the Neconr example I used (my own army list) confused people.... The size for month 1-2 is not important, its jsut HQ and 2 Troops (of your choice.)...
Cheers.
