I refuse to add the last one. I'm still very proud of originating those names.

Here's my suggestion - ban those exorbitant tournament entry fees. This way you will encourage more people to come and not bring the stuff on your Ban lists.



6th Edition Tournaments: Golden Throne GT 2012 - 1st .....Bay Area Open GT 2013 - Best Tyranids
ATC 2013 - Team Fluffy Bunnies - 1st .....LVO GT 2014 Team Tournament - Best Generals
7th Edition: 2015-16 ITC Best Grey Knights, 2015-16 ITC Best Tyranids

YOU'RE RIGHT! HOW DID WE MISS IT? Edited.


I get the joke, but are you suggesting nothing should be done about these new releases? Do you really want to see an inquisotor, 6 henchmen with 18 broadsides and 3 riptides? I agree lets let the dust settle, but I know my plans on trying to compete at any tourney are on hold till i hear if it will just go to another 2++ reroll army (like your friend Toni or Allen bringing it to a "fluffy" da boyz tourney ruining any attempt they had at making it a different tourney).

If we really have to pause the jokes, no I'm not saying nothign should be done. I'm saying people should lighten up and wait a tick for the Dataslatecember and Tyranid releases to happen. I also freakin' personally hate 2+ re-rolls and jetcouncil and such. I'm hoping Nids / Shadows fix it naturally. If they don't we'll cross that bridge when we come to it (and I'm suggesting the patience b/c we're ABOUT TO COME TO THAT BRIDGE).

BUT SERIOUSLY CAN WE NOT DO THIS AGAIN IN YET ANOTHER THREAD?

Your penance is you must list your own suggested bans for the OP.

Such armies are completely balanced, fluffy, and forge-a-narrtiveable. This is a thread for overpowered units/wargear like all boltgun devastator squads or Ministorum Priests.


Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts

Who's Toni, and when can I hit on her? Is that nicks girl? Cause I remember him having an experience with someone of a similar name once.

Oh, another suggestion, ban Forging A Narrative.

I don't want the opponent to be writing a fanfic while we play. This game is for men not authors.

I was impressed by your insightful suggestion. I've now playtested it in one thousand games and added it as the very first player suggested ban.

We just playtested your suggestion with ten thousand test games and came to the conclusion we could not ban all that.
