On the variety of missions, this is part of the plan for Blog Wars 2. <br /><br />If anything not having special chars limits variation. The problem with tournaments is ppl use net lists not their imagination.FromTheFangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-21100980218782652382011-07-04T22:38:13.317+01:002011-07-04T22:38:13.317+01:00And another thing!

I've been musing for a while on some 'in-house' rules to do exactly that, which I'm hoping Michael, Gav & Andy will indulge me in trying out on them. I'll elaborate further in the next day or so before I head to Sonisphere...Grazer_Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-51755491416257643972011-07-04T22:34:05.633+01:002011-07-04T22:34:05.633+01:00I like Special Characters, and I think all the new...I like Special Characters, and I think all the new codexes are dsesigned specifically with Special Characters at the very heart of army selection: Astorath being a prime example (giving access to Red Thirst on 1-3 not just 1) and the Ork and Space Marine charactersd that "unlock" bikes as Troops units. <br /><br />In fact, I think allowing Special Characters actually adds flavour to army selection, and opens up the possibility of more builds, rather than limiting things. Of course the top tables will most likely feature Cheesy armies (coughLong Fangscough) but that'll always be the case.Grazer_Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-54482876956292030242011-07-04T20:11:35.591+01:002011-07-04T20:11:35.591+01:00Most tourneys here in Ireland don't have any c...Most tourneys here in Ireland don't have any comp, regardless of points level so as not to turn people off attending. I've found that certain armies perform significantly better with them (Vanilla Marines particularly) but some don't need them as much (SW as you've said above) so there is a case for them to be included, if only to promote a greater variety of armies.Stormynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-4314979257887907142011-07-04T19:52:27.429+01:002011-07-04T19:52:27.429+01:00The main argument I have seen is that you get all ...The main argument I have seen is that you get all the same army, did that happen at Blog wars when we were made to take Special Characters?Simonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640217576313519402.post-7885340753490811892011-07-04T19:42:23.495+01:002011-07-04T19:42:23.495+01:00Vote: Yes!

Ghaz is a possible exception but you take the rough with the smooth and one character no matter how bad ass cannot win a game on his own.Fudalhttp://clawsandfists.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
