Then, I think it would be worth our time to actually create a calculation system for determining points.Neil Gilstraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650727851487045304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-60863453389117448112010-10-24T05:27:49.372-07:002010-10-24T05:27:49.372-07:00The software engineer in me wants to put everythin...The software engineer in me wants to put everything into a computer so rules can be crunched quickly when changing the rules:)<br /><br />Some quick reflections:<br /><br />My personal view is that I feel weak units need a boost (less cost or something else added). For instance why does it cost so insanely much to put jump packs on troops? 10p per model on Vanguard, 15p on death companies and a whopping 25p on wolf guards.<br /><br />Comparing whole FOC slots can skew things. Skyclaws vs Thunderwolves. The TWs will make that slot look great compared to some other FA in other sexes but will keep the "this is what you take" problem. Btw, just an example, there are holes in the example for sure:)<br /><br />Which brings me to your question. Yes I think GW put effort into the codexes but I would really like to know how because there are units out there who I really wonder why they are so weak compared to their points. Did someone at GW excell at using them or something?Flekkzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508641232973488303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-72918974378573972162010-10-21T05:13:48.326-07:002010-10-21T05:13:48.326-07:00He can.

So although they can kill one, they lose the points gain due to the cost of the unit.Neil Gilstraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650727851487045304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560399245089403251.post-6081628658624723662010-10-20T16:53:19.422-07:002010-10-20T16:53:19.422-07:00What is in the tactical squad though?

A tactical squad with a sarge with a power fist should kill at least one marine in a combat it didn't charge in as well...flugerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868852313679502604noreply@blogger.com
