Continuing the Stormblade Point Discussion: Here are the stats for
the Stormblade in different 5.0 Army Books:
Adeptus Mechanicus 5.0 Army Book
Stormblade Company Morale=3 VictoryPoints=10 Cost=1000pts
Stormblade Support Card Morale=3 VictoryPoints=4 Cost=350pts
Adeptus Militaris 5.0 Army Book
Stormblade Company Morale=4 VictoryPoints=8 Cost=800pts
Stormblade Support Card Morale=3 VictoryPoints=3 Cost=275pts
*1 There is a Morale difference between Stormblade Company in
Mechanicus and Militaris, Moarale 3 VS Morale 4 at a cost of
200pts. The point difference feels or seems quite high for the
Morale difference? What are others feelings on this?
*2 There is point difference of 75 between support cards of each
5.0 army book. Morale is the same at 3. Victory points are
different, 4 in Mechanicus and 3 in Militaris. To me it seems the
the Militaris Stormblade is a much better buy. Same morale and 75
victory points cheaper also the victory points favor the Militaris
Stormblade, 3 to Mechanicus Stormblade of 4. This doesn't seem
correct. My guess on this situation is to increase the Militaris
Support Card Stormblade Morale to 4. Any thoughts on this?
May the dice be with you, Ed
