For years the standard here in Austin has been 2000pts. However, there is a sudden interest in going back to 1850pt.

Upcoming tournament is 1850, as is Adepticon. I wouldn't say I'd like DL tournaments to go back to 1850, but I like having both.
Plus, I think 2000 is a good way for a newer (or weaker build/Codex) to have a good match up against a strong 1850 list.
That's a good point; the 150 point handicap could provide a bit of a balancing edge. That way, there's not as much need to hold back, and a newer player can actually benefit more from seeing full-out tactics rather than pulled punches. EDIT: That and a few of us aren't good at pulling punches either. I may not be a pro-tour player, but I'll club a baby seal pretty badly with the footdar mallet before I realize how far into overkill territory I've gone.Originally Posted by RealGenius
In the short term, that tournament in Dallas is 1850, and a few people wanted to start Adepticon practice 6 months and two codex launches in advance. While I'm not sure I agree with the latter goal, I don't mind playing games at a different point value every now and again so hey, why not. And as an immediate goal... I need to test the modified Eldar list to see how it does before I submit it.

And yet, Killeen runs 2500. For a trend, it seems pretty schizo.
Killeen changes there tournaments up everytime.

They play 1850 up here in Lubbock. It took me a while to get used to it, but I can get what I want, just maybe not as much as I want.
I made it to the top table and was surprisingly playing for the win in a tournament up here at Jasco a while back. It was 1850, got enough in though. It makes choices harder and limits you a bit. I never thought about how much 150 points is.
Luckily for me, the difference between my 1850 and 2k tourney lists is 2 models.
Give a man fire, and you keep him warm for a night.
Set a man on fire, and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
I think with my new list I'll just throw in a 150 Wolf Lord. Although I guess I could add some Jump Wolf Guard, since I've always wanted to try those.
I didnt think wolf guard can have jump packs?
Also I like 1850pts. It might be my favorite sized game. Usually you have to drop a little padding from your 2000pt army to slim your list down. Small lists are usually harder to tweak and there is less room for error.
For me, 1850pts means I drop my second HQ.
They can, but giving them one still doesn't let them join Skyclaws.
