At 300 points, the Slann is pretty comparable (but I think still better) than a Level 4 Elf Mage with a 4+ ward save (50 points that doesn't take...
I was a high school mathematics teacher, then I was a software engineer for a decade, now I am a high school computer science teacher working on a...
And if it's not one shotted it'll probably be killed by the 2nd cannon...
Ultimately, you can't balance 1 list at a time (or 1 list and cannons). That is how GW got itself into the mess that is Tomb Kings vs Elves. You...
In the old book swarms were core, but couldn't be counted towards the 25% min. I think that is what was being suggested.
Contrast the cannon/crew warscroll with the Skink Handlers/Salamander warscrolls. I believe each cannon is deployed with the crew (for 4 models)...
The kill-everything spells are the balance against deathstars. They are crowd control. It is dangerous to put all your points into a mega unit...
I ran a Cannon and Helblaster in my AoS game! (They aren't nearly as devastating as they used to be)
Why would you take Temple Guard when you can just take Old Bloods? Oh you have a unit of 10 Temple Guard? I have 10 units of 1 Old Bloods....
One more point about this question... There is no event in AoS that triggers when you "lose 100% of your army" so that distinction is like a cows...
If that is what GW wanted, they could have very easily been specific about that. "When all of your enemy's models that started the game on the...
It seems more ridiculous to me that the game could end and I could lose even if I have 100 (summoned) models fighting on the board. "no enemy...
I think the approach you guys (and pretty much everyone trying to balance AoS) is taking is backwards. You're throwing darts at a wall, then...
You're adding words to rules again. > "there are no enemy models left on the field of battle." That does not say "no starting enemy models left...
I've played one game, using the Herd list with my Lizardmen vs an Elf list. I made some poor decisions in my deployment phase, and when my Elf...
This, I think, is the main misunderstanding some people are having. You do not "place warscrolls" you place models. The rule about warscrolls says...
So GW wrote an unofficial errata and posted it to dropbox/google drive rather than on their own website? Seems fishy.
You can't just add words to a rule and say it's "by extension". The Warscroll does not use the word "only" and I do not accept that GW meant the...
What does it mean to "take a warscroll"? That isn't defined anywhere in the rules. When I play I "take" all of my warscrolls. And at some point...
I originally thought the same thing as you, but Spawning of Bob gave a graduate level course in English comprehension and now I see the world for...
