This is with the discounts, btw.Īgain, the general suggestion is "drop in price of characters, drop in allowance".
So then you can choose either "Bad magic and good fighting dukes" or "pillow fighters and a good damsel". After adding in 2+/4++ on each one, you have 280 points left over.
#BAND STARS CHARACTERS COSTS FULL#
Is that a risk you are up for taking?ģ) At 1125, you'd have 400 points left over ( mounts at full price and characters at 1/2 price) before ANY kit on your guys. They don't even have to kill it, because taking it down to 1 wound is enough to remove it from the game effectively. It's still a Big Bad Monster, after No BSB is dangerous (says the elf w/ Ld10, btw)Ģ) 2x Cannons w/ an Engineer will eliminate a Hyppogryph as a threat per turn (as the only significant failure point is your ward/regen save, and it's about 35% chance to take it out of the game per cannon per shot taking that into account). should get a free discount) *AND* should continue to count towards characters. One BIG thing to note is that character mounts that occupy OTHER slots should not get a price drop (no reason that the Sky Sloop, Great Griffon, Wyvern, etc. Even if it made characters a "no brainer" selection, you'd still have the same availability for characters BUT you'd be able to play more units (more toys = more fun, right? ). The goal for this change would be to make it so that characters are cheaper compared to units, thus making it a more meaningful choice when selecting a unit vs. Character allowance goes down to 25% for Warriors of the Dark Gods and Kingdom of Equitaine (two armies that are very strongly based on individual heroes being awesome) and 20% for all other armies. All characters, and their available magic items, get their costs cut by 50% So one common complaint that I hear from people in my local group (and have seen on the forum in general) is "why take a character, when I can take a Big Unit of Awesome Dudes for the same cost or less?" Towards that point, what would people think about "characters" getting their price slashed by 50%, BUT having the "character allowance" dropped by 50% as well?
