The optimal filler will be pretty much 2-3 troops and an HQ with the points left. The elites and heavy slots are maxed so that leaves troops HQ and Fast Attack. I worked one out with 389 free points after clowns and tanks. There's maybe enough points for a decent FA choice after the mandatory slots but you're not getting much else in there, your eggs are all in the one basket.

So what you guys say is basically, that there are no Space Clown lists.

There are, I've written one as a theoryhammer exercise as has Stompzilla. There are also a few others I've seen around on other sites asking for thoughts. Wherether any of these may make an appearance in tournaments in the UK is unknown, but judging by the preponderance of IW at last seasons UKGT final I think that there are quite a few gamers willing to take the netlist thinking it will help them auto-qualify.

However I agree that putting all your eggs in one basket isn't always the best thing to do and the potential sheer filth against the wrong opponent puts me off taking it.
