Here's a casual challenge whilst everyone is fighting.
The rules! 1. List must be steamroller legal, it doesn't have to be any good. 2. Use US dollars, so everyone is on the same level.
Basically, what is the most expensive list you can create bonus points if it is actually half decent.

Min thralls are more expensive per point. And I believe there are more expensive warjacks per point. I’ll have to find the Reddit thread I did this in.

Out of themes Alright, let's see: Cryx pricing architecture is fun: The Soul Trapper at 19.99 MSRP is ~$10/point. Buying Mechanithrall full units at MSRP (but not playing brutes) is 7$/point. Unless you're talking about buying full boxes and running Min-units. That's 13/point.
Deneghra3 (69.99)
Barathrum (59.99)
Slayer (34.99)
Deathripper (19.99)
Soul Trapper x5 (59.97)
Min. Mcthralls x11 (879.89)
MSRP: 1124.82.
There's probably a more optimal pattern that can get to 30 points of Warjacks, but it's hard to beat the 4.00/point and 3.49/point pricing of Barathrum and Slayer, and 3.33/point for deathrippers is nice. I’ll post a theme list shortly

Is it acceptable to using the minimum unit while considered as pay for full price?

I suppose you probably should go for the cheapest way to make the units, no cheating by buying 100 2 man packs of thralls.

That is, in fact, the cheapest way to make the units SR-Legal, since you need a Leader for each, which only comes one to a box. Unless, of course, you want me to math out how much shipping would cost to order leaders individually.

I do think using a min unit but using the price for a max unit is against the spitit of the thing.

Anyway it would be better to only think about Cryx. FA: U and 9 points but costs 79.99 USD Mechanithralls, and FA: 6 and 1 point Soul Trapper(although they are two in a pack by 19.99 USD but anyway they are only 1 point per one model) make Cryx winner. By the way, why those Mechanithralls costs as hell? I was initially imagine them because they are cheap and seems have larger FA but I didn't expect their horrible price. Edit: I was forgot that the pack also have three Brute Thralls. My bad. Well, are Alexia1&Risen and Bokor&Shamblers pack legal, despite the facf that they have the full unit but y ou can only field about a half of them initially? It seems that they won't beat the Mechanithralls, but for the specific faction's most expensive list they will be a good choice for raise the overall cost - and they are either Mercenary or Minion so many other factions are also able to got them.

Best I could figure for Menoth:
Reznik 2 Dervish x4 Vessel of Judgement x2 Vassal Mechanik x3 Wrack x3 Min Cleansers x2 Min Temple Flameguard Min Choir x2 (Choir has AWFUL cost/point, but 3 min could also be done with 2 full units, making them gain efficiency)
Total Cost: $653
This is ignoring any mercs that could be taken, as that would have added a TON of effort.

I can't get Trollbloods to $700, even with Raiders and Extreme Maulers. I must say, I'm a bit surprised.
