Army Size

(Rule)

Description:

Before building an army, players need to agree on the size of the battle, which is referred to as Army Size. The combined point costs of all the units in the army should not exceed the designated Army Size, and it is allowed to be not more than max 50 points below the limit.

The rules for army composition are modified depending on the size of an army.

Point Cost

Point Cost, often shortened pts, is a measure of the power of a unit or upgrade. We use pts to ensure that two armies with a similar total Points Cost facing each other is a fair balanced game.

All units have an associated Points Cost, which is determined by adding its starting Point Cost of additional models added to the unit, and Points Cost of the additional options the unit selects.
