Yes we've been over this on previous pages

Indeed, I was pointing out your summary of GW missed that factoid out

Yes, but it still invalidates half* your existing army because not everything is...

a) an effective tarpit.

b) able to hurt a Knight.

c) objective secured.

So anything that doesn't fit in to one or multiple of those categories is near useless, thus invalidated (at least IMO). Things like basically any S6 or less special weapons are just wasted points. Many units just become glorified wound counters because it's irrelevant if they're strength or toughness 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... they still get wounded on a 2+ and still can't damage a Knight at all.

I'm not making a sweeping statement of "everything is completely useless!" I'm just reinforcing the earlier statement by another poster that large slabs of your existing force can be invalidated and for some gamers this is an unpleasant experience.






*obviously I don't know the exact proportion, I just say "half" as a simplification, lol.

So a Knight is not OP, because eldar can easily beat it?

So out of the 4 knights* on the table, of 6 objectives, what makes the other 2 objectives implausible for your "half an army" to deal with?

*presuming 1750 or so points
