Pricing for Nagash

[lord marcus]

The way gw started out, ( and the way we all would have loved them to stay) bunch of friends creating games and having a laugh. It worked a while, but then entered a nonprofital downwards spiral. Stock introduced, new management means a demand for better profit and the hobbists are the one paying. I solemnly believe there are still ppl at gw that care about the hobby and gamers. Maybe that is the reason ward left, cause he cared, who knows....
Fact is, no longer does the board if gw consist of gamers, but of buisness men in suits. That is the price we gamers pay for how economics works today.

I agree nagash is TOO expensive. But ill prolly buy him anyway.
Fact is, if i start a new army of undead. With him in it, it'll prolly be my cheapest army yet points/$ on 2k host....

Ward....caring? Those two words do not go together, but that is another subject entirely.

Rick priestly, allessio, the perry's etc all cared, and they are gone. I think some of the writers care, but mostly about the setting they helped flesh out.

And i disagree on having to pay the price of having businessmen, etc. Look at mantic, a perfectly viable and working business, run by a gamer (Ronnie) who also has a massive amount of business sense.

Still a gamer at heart though...

Who is this in reference too? Ward? Yes, he is most likely a gamer at heart, but he ripped apart the established background and shunted his own version of it as the true canon, and for that I cannot see him "caring" about the hobby, and the community it represents, as a whole.

Oh, gotcha. Yes, Ronnie is exactly the sort of ceo a gaming company needs. He has the business sense to manage it all, and the train of thought of a gamer.

pricing isnt the pointvalue. but the price of the model in the stores.
But krell pointvalue isnt too good.... especially with no real saves, asl, sucky ws5 (hes a resurrected chaos warriorchampion ffs), and crappy initiative.

The armour of the barrows is really not interesting with onky 4+, especially its ability to nullify a magic weapon seems quite retarded, since most magic weopons you will encounter will be strengthweapons that negate the armoursaves.... thus nullifying the special ability of the Armour.

The only real pro he has is his axe, which is terrifying and can instantly kill any character but his notso impressive weaponskill kind of requires Vhdm to effectively use the 3 attacks.

But, if you combine him in a group of graveguards with dualmortis engines with book of arkhan and vhdm, this is a true deathstar. add 2 cairnwraiths or wightkings and you have a relatively cheap and well protected deathstar which can be sided by another skeletonbus with a blenderlord. Nothing funny for an opponent.

I understand that. I was attempting to be sarcastic by bring up a "points" price, while also somewhat trying to keep the thread alive.

Good points, although by the time you add all that up, lots of points spent on such a deathstar.

Isnt that rhe point of a deathstar? holding points while creating a unit that can wipe the table

Well, yes. Excepting that the mortis engines are susceptible to cannon balls, it's a good Dstar, but i've never been a fan of all your eggs in one basket tactic.

 

[Skittelz1981]

with a skelliebus+blender you have 2 deathstars of about equal value
