At 2k I have to chose between guns and troops, characters or troops. My awkward "balance" results in 2 W. Priest hatred hordes of halberds with detach chaff + supporting halberd "bus" + flagellants as the core of the army + fast calv and xbow anti chaff, light lvl4 and BSB. As a result Im sacrificing ld9, Pie template artillery, fast "finishing" unit/flame attacks (read arch lector, 2nd mortar + rocket battery, and a unit of flaming ICknights). I'm also running characters with no magic items (well, BSB gets charmed shield/opal amulet and lvl4 gets a dispel scroll). All of which get added at 2400 points. My army doesn't "need" the above (though ldship 9 would be handy...), they are just nice to have. Playing without them = troop movement and careful use of buffs (read: Timewarp FTW!) wins games. With them = why the internetz hate Empire in 8th (unless said storm banner makes an appearance...).<br /><br />And yes, faster games make for "better" games unless beer is involved.Joelatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267751235327398650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-84009852191062144832011-07-12T17:57:08.392+12:002011-07-12T17:57:08.392+12:00Yep valid point.

However I tend to want to play significantly more than 2400 points if I'm after a "big" gameAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835921145774599372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-91749634802747145362011-07-12T17:03:23.856+12:002011-07-12T17:03:23.856+12:00I like big games because I enjoy seeing lots of fi...I like big games because I enjoy seeing lots of figures on the table.<br /><br />How's that for a scientific rebuttal?wallacernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-61959943918356816182011-07-12T12:44:17.657+12:002011-07-12T12:44:17.657+12:00Mmhm, I'd get on board even for just the timin...Mmhm, I'd get on board even for just the timing reason. I've no problem, I'll do my best to 'bring it' at any point level, but my army is a bit more flexible across the point ranges, I suspect for some armies they feel they emotionally/competitively NEED the points options that 2400 gieves them.Kiwi Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02554025268598951420noreply@blogger.com
