The issue lies in needing to be better than the average player in your league just to be competitive. Simply put, if you need to play perfectly...
A faction (or unit, or whatever) designed around the notion that you need to play exceptionally well (for your skill level..) to be competive...
Lifeswarm can work well in combination with guard as it negates the effects of mortal wound spam (to an extend..) And there's of course the...
The only cost for summoning is CP, so you can summon away and eventually have 3000 points worth of models in a 2000 point game.
Issue is that a great deal of our stuff just flat out doesn't work, or at least not in the way they are supposed to. The powerfantasy of say...
fair enough, thought you just meant a tome in the new style with prayers, own spell lore, summoning rules etc. all in the actual tome.
both tzeentch and KO have the advantage of being heavily ranged focussed. This allows them to avoid a lot of the problems created by for example...
KO & tzeentch don't have a new one either (and Slaves to darkness technicly don't, but at least they got a new one announced). And nurgle is a...
I think currently the AI massivly suffers from the game having added quite a lot of complexity with buffs & active skills in combat & with the...
Yeah, but I'd guess it'd be a statisticly insignificant amount. The sold copies probably cover the minimal cost, but I doubt they actually sell...
I do wish the AI didn't get the boomers though, they're just annoying. Either the AI screws up and blows up his own troops, or one sneaks past and...
Even that seems farfetched, it's not like the "bundles" are particularly weird combinations where you easily end up with too much. Or just flat...
pouring in a load of ranged firepower works as well. Bonus points if you can use artillery for twice the explosions.
yeah, never understood why those are even shown on the site..
the tome itself also mentions some seraphon becoming "real" beings once they've been summoned. Summoning just has the same effect as spawning...
taht wasn't a white dwarf story, that was a malign portents one.
they might get their if their subfactions get fleshed out enough :P They do have a decent amount of variation in tactics though. Which I don't...
Although that's true there'l also be a larger amount of models left after the stellar tempest. Which makes retaliating far easier. Plus since...
meh it only really works with space marine chapters anyway. Together they form a large faction, with many options for strategies & equipment,...
It's a bit smaller, but not so much as to count as "small" I think. Not sure though.
