'Ard Boyz 2011 List Building Strategies

Even though 'Ard Boyz is in August it is never too early to start preparing. The first step is Deciding Which Army to Use. This is somewhat important because certain builds are favored by Certain Armies. For instance if I were to run with 6 units of 10 Marines in a Rhino, I would Not nessecessarily use Dark Angels, Either Codex Marines which is slightly cheaper or Wolves with the extra Attacks in CC but lose out on a Heavy weapon, or the Speedy Rhino Abilities of Blood Angels Tactical Squads, etc.

Each Codex has certain Unique qualites that Must be played to in order to be competitive. Blood Angels have Speed, Templares have Prefered Enemy and Veteran Skills, Dark Angels have Sacred Standards, Wolves have more Attacks, Codex Marines have many abilities granted by Combat/Chapter Tactics.

The next step is Testing this is important especially if you need to purchase more models to complete your list. Test Multiple lists varying slightly and figure out what you are more comfortable with.

Finally it is time to pull the trigger order your models have them painted and put them on the table.
