    1500 is my favourite size for 40k. You can cover most of your bases at this level, but you have to make decisions on things you want vs need. 17/1850 let you have both by and large.

    1000 pointers are fun too.

    1500-1850 - large enough to use what I want but small enough to stop people from going all-out

    Thats kind of like getting asked 'what kind of sex do you like'... lol. I simply enjoy playing, regardless of point size.

    Agree, although I prefer the 1500 point end of that range. Having to decide which units and upgrades to take under those restrictions makes the whole game that much more interesting.

    I generally play 2K +, but I limit myself to 1 FOC so I can run more of my options, Once I hit 2500+ then double FOC come into play.

    I play single FOC up to 5000pts with fortifications and allies over 3000pts as an option.
    This brings our full armies into play, but stops shenanigans of FOC abuse.

    I played a 1000 pt and 750 pt game last night With my newly acquired Dark Angels. Man it sucked. In retrospect I should have played as codex marines as they had a 175 pt cap on your HQ choice. no belial, azrael, or samael.

    At low points levels I can't field the type of army that draws me into 40k. Its a shame too as I would LOVE to join their league, but its just not fun.

    So, you're not playing 40K then

    I tend to prefer pickup games at 1500pts, keeps things at a nice balanced and interesting (as in there wont that many points for the more nasty things) yet enough to make a strong list all the same.

    Since I've been using Eldar Jetbikes in killteam I have been so successful it's hard not to love 200pt games.
