The Grand Master has only 3 attacks for 175 pts at STR4 (+1 from Hammerhand) - how does this fall at all in line with things like Daemon Princes that have more attacks at higher base STR for far less points?

On the other hand, people are being a little too short-sighted about some of the units - yes most of them are awesome but averaging 700 pts per "full" unit of things like Paladin termies or squard + Special Character + vehicle means basic shooty armies will have to kill even fewer models to beat it.

I really hope the SB rumor and the Nemesis Warding Staff rumor isn't true. 3 attacks with Power Weapons on the charge for a basic Grey Knight and 4 from Purifiers and Terminators is a little... strong. And 2++ with no downsides on a T4 model is just too good.<br /><br />LarryHEROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578445512892020612noreply@blogger.com
