Hi,
Well, we haven't put it to the test yet. I've read through the rules a
couple of times and it seems much more balanced, as I hope they are for
Runes sake. He's a really entusiastic player and enjoys the game
tremendously, but due to the cheesyness of the Slann army he has experienced
some reluctance from the rest of us to face him on the tabletop.
There is still some concerns though, the moral test imunity was one (If it
doesen't protect against terror attacks and that type of special abilities,
what's the benefit of this ability then?), secondly look at the Nemesis MBT
support card, 9 attacks at 3+, -3, +1 to template damage rolls. regen
ability, electrohull, 2+ save... .all for 300 points.... HMMMM thats a real
bargain IMO!!!
What we'll do is to play a couple of games and then make some comments on
what we think would improve the Slann army (if necessary).
As I see it, the problem with this army list has been that we initially gave
the units far to good stats, and as always it is very difficult to take back
something that is already given. So I still have a feeling that some of the
stats might be to good, like the Nemesis example above. There is one ting to
compensate by rising the prices, but then we stand in fear of making the
units so expencive that the Slann will have really big problems securing
enough VPs. So I guess we have to work both angels and meet somvere
inbetween, hopefully the latest set of rules has done just that! But as I
said, we'll have to test the army against several diffrent oponents to se
wheter or not we have achieved nirvana :)
Or we could let Jyrki work his magic on the Slann armylist!!!!! I'm really
impressed with what he has done with the battlesisters!!!
I'm also looking forward to seeing the Dark Eldar list, since I wasn't able
to get a hold of them earlier I've been working on my own Dark Eldar list,
and I might have some input to the Dark Eldar rules once they are
complete/posted.
