You asked me what I thought :-)
Not sure wheth... <br />You asked me what I thought :-)<br /> <br />Not sure whether you are pricing items or where you think GW will price them. My storm banner pricing is a typo - it's meant to be 50 points as it is now. The thing with Storm Banner is that it is enemy dependant how effective it is - great vs. Elves, not so great vs. TKs, useless vs. WOC. I think 50 points is fair.<br /> <br />Plague banner is very overrated. You get one turn of hitting hard and then - nothing. If you win you overrun and get smashed back T4, I3 no AS or Wd lasts about 2/10ths of f-all. Tried it really don't like it. See it as giving 300-400 points to enemy.<br /> <br />Of the other items there only the Condenser is taken. The weapons all have downsides.<br /> <br />From my own point of view the only things I'd consider on list are SB and WEC - otherwise I'm happy with Common Magic ItemsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835921145774599372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-41639693308665913742011-09-29T09:17:42.610+13:002011-09-29T09:17:42.610+13:00I'm definitely not as familiar with the items ...I'm definitely not as familiar with the items as you are but I would hazard x2 in price? Haven't seen the Ogre Kingdoms book but was under the impression that most of the OG/TK items were 50-100pts? (part of the reason you would almost never take them?)<br /><br />Storm Banner for example - an easy 100pts. Skavenbrew - 50pts. Plague Banner would be a 50-75pt item. If (and this is a big IF) GW are consistent I imagine you're looking at a small list of high pointed items that would rarely be taken.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537919105443188734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-66364574584990347552011-09-28T20:08:25.275+13:002011-09-28T20:08:25.275+13:008, I hope Dave.
