Matt, you are a scrub, nobody likes you. Dave and Joe and the Orc guy are way cooler than you. Cheating like this is only way you keep winning. Fuck you scrub.

At that point, I feel like "going blind" can steer the game back on course, where you just tell your friend(s), let's just make some crazy "fun" lists in secret and throw them at eachother and see who is standing when the dust clears. It can't be a permanent solution though, because in situations like that it seems like someone always gets completely destroyed.

[Xefa01]

However, if army tailoring isn't regulated to some extent, the game becomes a never ending arms race that leaves a bitter taste in everyone's mouth because it starts to become less about the game and having fun, and more about trumping your friend for no reason other than to say you can..."I don't care if you take A, I'll just take B...well if you take B, then I'll take C" and that's when it becomes stupid and a waste of time...

[Xefa01]

There's a time and place for tailoring, "going blind", and "all-comers". Obviously all-comers lists (or as close as you can get) are the only way to go if you're serious about tournaments, but I find that the game can get boring if you play the same all-comers armies together all the time. So tailoring makes it challenging and adds dimension to an otherwise stale and unsurprising game...

@AGrumpyPanda sounds affective indeed :D ! and ya see thats what im saying is everytime ive seen him bring in the deathmarks they all DIE right away and never cause any damage and to me this is disapointing because they are not a weak unit when used right .

[AGrumpyPanda]

@zMirrororriMz I agree absolutely, snipers OWN when used correctly. I run a ten-man Ranger squad upgraded to Pathfinders, with a Farseer with guide and fortune nearby. Re-rolling snipers with AP 1 on a 5+ to hit, and a 2+ cover save with re-rolls? Yes please!

[zMirrororriMz]

@AGrumpyPanda Also fair enough. Also ive seen them been used quite effectively. Perhaps not a whole ARMY ! but say 3 squads ? Also i just think they look cool and he has not seemed to use them a whole ton in his videos.

[TheGuyWhoGoesMEH]

this is just me, but I think games would be more interesting if you only know the army your playing, not knowing if it is mechanized or not makes it more challenging

[Wolvenkrad]

Ahhh, its ok Matt. Look, with wargaming to some it's about just winning and beating the other to a pulp, I honestly think that it is for fun, creativity and to have a good challenge. If you think the former and its all just bitching and winning, get the templates out of your ass and play like the rest of us.

I HAVE THOSE SPEAKERS!!!
