O it isnt a pretty model, and its pretty Silly, but at least its visually interesting with something going on.
Its also one of the few heroes we have that can actually buff himself in a meaningful manner. Whereas the other heroes dont really need to bother...
The slann doesn't need to be jumping. Just have something going on. Some details the eyes can be drawn to. Anything whatsoever. A skink attendant...
They stand out by virtue of having a very different profile, but they are absolutely not a centerpiece type model. Even if you limit yourself to...
The issue is that right now the individual parts are garbage, while the sum of its parts is absurdly powerfull. For a well designed faction the...
This is what bothers me the most it. It isnt like he needs to be turned into a meleepowerhouse or something. Balancewise it barely matters. Its...
Honestly the biggest thing that annoys me about the slann not being a dual kit is that it basicly guarantees the slann wont become a centerpiece...
Kairos and the lords of change do just fine having a dual model. And they're not the only ones :P Plus, there's plenty they could do to make Kroak...
Given that we have 28-ish units, and seem to be getting a few more (there seems to be actual new stuff, and not just replacements of old sculpts)....
Honestly, they missed their change to update the slann when they updated Kroak. Having that be a dual-kit would've worked great.
Yeah, fast paced seasons & lots of changes don't really mix well with a slow paced tabetop game with a collecting aspect. It's the e-sports...
Has GW ever been particularly concerned with "fixing" anything? :p
Yup, plus you'd also need to go back to formations mattering again. A single spear or pike isn't anywhere near as much of an advantage, especially...
What @cyberhawk94 says pretty much. I never argued for any specific weapon profile, and definitely not for a profile that's better than both of...
Imho, most weapon profiles are too similar too begin with. And the range trade-off is rarely interesting either, with clear superiour choices...
Sure, but right now the choice is basicly guards or nothing. With the new rule every single battleline becomes capable of protecting the slann,...
My point is mostly that if every battleline can do it, specificly taking the guard may no longer be as worthwhile. The slann can hop from...
Compared to skinks their durability (and combat potential) is probably worth the extra point cost. But compared to warriors? Or Knights? Or...
Meh, keeping a slightly altered version would be good. Alternativly, update the melee range on certain weapons/units. E.g. Saurus warriors kinda...
That actually raises an interesting point. Right now guard are already only usefull as ablative wounds for the slann, but the bodyguard rule...
