Dual force org?

[baconslice]

Ok I know, you think I'm a tool. But what is dual force organisation?

I see people bang on about lists with it.
Is it a rule book thing? Or is it a thing we've cooked up because we're not aloud allies?

Its in the rule book. At 2000 points or over u are able to use a double force org.

In my area we don't use that rule normally but i wouldnt say no to.someone who wanted to play with it

In games of 2000+ points you can use a second Force Org provided you fill the requirements of an extra HQ and 2 extra Troops. This was implemented because you couldn't really play larger games with on Force Org as it got too cramped.

Honestly, I never had any difficulty putting together a 2000 point list with one force org chart. I could probably work just fine with a single force org chart up to around 2500 with any army I own. Anything past that though and things get really unworkable.

Ahh ok i see, I've never played larger than 1500 pts I don't think, def not more than 2000. Thanks for the help.

To be honest, never used them. Whenever the needs would arise were the FOC slots were getting scarce is usually when somebody starts flicking their eyes to the apocalypse books.

Most of my games are 2000 points, and the only time I bring DFOC is when I need a specific extra slot or I'm building a fluffy list.

If I want to bring the Doom, 2 units of Ymgarls and some Hive Guard. Then I build a list around it.

With the points costs of things in our dex, the FOC isn't the limiting factor really...its that I'm usually running out of points before slots.

Average unit size is usually somewhere between 150-250 points for durable sized broods. Let's take 200 as the middle ground.

That means at 2000 points, that's only 10 units on average at 200 points.

Sure, certain units are cheaper, but they are usually more sacrificial than anything.

Where the DFOC has come in handy is running swarm lists, where I leave the MC at home and need more FA and Elite slots to pick up the slack.

That's where you can run Raveners and Gargoyles with 2-3 Broods of each and then just throw in some Hormagaunts and Devilgants with a couple of Primed leading the Devilgants. Add in lots of hive guard, Zoanthropes and the Doom.

It's a fun and fluffy way to play in casual games.
