List Composition Query

[Ben]

I was wondering, with the different point value army lists can the same magic item be taken twice? i.e. If my 1000 point list has a dispel scroll can my 2500 point list also contain one?

Normally I'd just assume the answer to be yes, but since this is a campaign and these forces are all assumed to be part of one big army I wasn't sure.

Oh, I was also wondering whether special characters were allowed. As far as I can remember I was never told one way or the other about these guys so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks.

Yes you can just view them as separate armies under one big banner.Obviously u can't have the same item in the same list.I'm watching u Collyer

No special characters.Easier that way

Im wondering what the deal is with proxies and unpainted models? atm I barely have enough to do a 1500pt army and was wondering if proxying models i don't have or can't afford is allowed?

I don't mind those who have just started their armies to proxy here and there.Even the veterans i suppose do a bit of it.

I take issue with entire armies being done but for the moment its's cool and if you have to do a bit then that's fine.

I have a query about the team games. So far I think am gonna be myself, which is fine, but am just wondering on how to make up my extra points eg does the extra 1k act as a new army list for the purposes of taking magic items and such.

[W.E.G]

i would asume so becuase if you had teamed with phil then there would more than likely be more than 1 of same item

[Matthew James Deakin]

Thats what I think too, but would like some official conformation on the matter.

I would of thought you just made a 2k list

[Ben]

The issue is that a 2k list is not balanced when compared to 2 1k lists.

For example:
Say you and Paul each take a dispel scroll in your army, when you team up you have 2 dispel scrolls. A 2k army can only ever have 1.
On the other hand, since 25% of 2k is 500, the player with 2k can use a lord costing, say, 400 points who is, in theory, more powerful than one costing 250 points.

The only way I can see that being fair is if the 2k player plays another 2k player only. In that case the same rules apply to both.

[Matthew James Deakin]

a 2k list has disadvantages such as only being able to have one dispel scroll for example and limiting the number of magic items i have access 2
