If 4x400 allowed 20 or 24 figs I'd play 5x 4th. The problem with 4th is that playing 120 points short is bad. Alastair or Drake is basically playing short because their impact on the game is going to be like 30 points worth.

Those are definitely interesting choices, and clearly they worked well (I didn't remember what you had run in that event). I will say that one big benefit of this breakdown is you get to include MWs in an army, which I consider a weakness of the 4 armies I normally play (that I can't fit MWs into any of them), but on the flipside no Q9 feels like a hinderance given how strong he is into either the 4th or 10th (both of which I think are fairly common builds in 4x400).

I agree with this 100%.
