Leaving the Dark City

For a little excursion into the Maelstrom.

My LGS is having an escalation style paint and play league. Three "Rounds" capped off with tournaments between each. 500, 750, and 1000 points.

These are the rules -
500pts.
Force Organization as follows:

0-1 HQ
1-3 Troops (you must take at least one troop choice)
0-1 Elite
0-1 Fast attack
0-1 Heavy support
0-1 "swing" slot (you can use this to take an additional Elite, Fast, Troop, or Heavy choice)

-Armies are not required to take mandatory choices, but all other unit restrictions apply.
-With the exception of Troops and Swarms, no model may have more than 2 wounds.
-Psykers may be chosen, but may not use any power requiring a psychic test.
-No Independent Special Characters. Named special characters that are upgrades to units may be taken provided they follow all the rules provided under this section, but they will cost you an additional HQ slot.
-No monstrous creatures.
-No 2+ saves (armor or invulnerable).
-No vehicles with a total Armour Value greater than 34 (add the front value to one side value to the rear value to determine this).

NOTE: Once finalized, Army Lists cannot be changed. However, minor tweaks are allowed; like wargear or unit size. But, a player will be allowed three "JOKER CARDS". Each Hypothetical Joker Card is a one use item that will allow you to alter your list as you see fit once per card.
