You're all hypocrites! Haha
You're all willing to find and exploit loopholes yourselves and then preach to the good hearted, fluff munching rest of us
As we saw at Mansfield, no one is going to win any games because of Alfrid. And plenty of players win their games because of the meta based building of a "filthy" list rather than tactics alone.
After seeing him in action, I actually don't think he's op at all. It's just a risky way of paying for potentially more might. So in my mind, bringing this "Eolderman of Rohan" is a legitimate way of adding 20 points to a hero for potentially (with risk) increasing the amount of might the hero has.
At 500 points, your feral list see's the inclusion of Sharkey, doesn't it Damian? Shouldn't Sharkey feature with Ruffians? Is he there for theme? Or is he there because he's a cheap caster who can throw out immobilise of a 2+
Of course, easy for us all to tedious link the theme of our armies. Hobbits from every age ever with Malbeth. Well, Hobbits were at Fornost you know...
Lets take a look at what lists do well at the tournaments... Is there any negative modifier for someone doing well because of their list building and combos? No. Do those people still win prizes? Yes
There is an "allied" mechanic in SBG and unless we're getting points for theme, why wouldn't people exploit it, when those who do well so often do
I won't win because of Alfrid. But he may solve some of my problems at 500 points. He may not, but won't know unless I try!
So be damned with you hypocrites!! Haha
