Well, there were a few cheesy points, but I thought it worked fine 95%
of the time. The eldar got a half priced jet bike host that could be
awful; I frequently played a player who was entirely unashamed about
putting two of them out. The dominatrix was absurdly powerful for its
points, but they were at least limited in number. The titan battlegroup
discount could get pretty outrageous. But really that was about all.
