I daresay grav and d weps are pretty top
Overall imbalance of shooting to cc
First cause it's mainly limited to certain factions
Second cause the rulset rly favors the shootas and cc became borderline effective, the first does influence it too.

I don't think you can point to a single "most OP" thing. There's a huge number of wildly overpowered possibilities that each offer their own, vastly different, versions of OPness, and the level of OPness can differ depending on what it's facing.

The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts. |

It doesn't have to be a single thing, it could be a combo, it could be a weapon type. You could scream "TAU IZ OP" and then spend several hours fighting off angry Tau players.

Wraithguard in a Raider. Or in a Wave Serpent with a WWP Archon. Throw in a Spiritseer for good measure and that's 5 Str D weapons rerolling 1s to miss, if you keep the cannons, EXACTLY where you need them. That will kill any single thing outright.

Invisibility is pretty broken, especially when you can cast it on a LoW... really needed errata to only affect infantry.

Invisibility is probably number one since it can be abused by so many units, ranging from Death Stars to LoW. It instantly makes a unit over the top.
Otherwise - Cheap ranged D.
I'm tempted to say Grav but it isn't powerful in general, just a hard-counter to the majority of things we consider tough in the first place. So while it may excel at taking out very valuable units - armies like Orks and IG are much less impacted.

Stomp.
It's a close combat attack that can kill things a foot away from and not involved in any close combat and regardless of any defensive factors of the thing being killed.
It is the single stupidest rule in the game.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Pretty much the ability to cast Invisibility on anything.
Otherwise, Warlord titan...because it's supposed to be the most powerful thing right now. Also, it doesn't care about Invisibility as it can just target the ground instead.

Well not literally. 1 wraithcannon rolls a 6 to wound and its gone. D doesn't give a gak about eternal warrior, fnp or invuls.

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

High strength ranged AP2 weapons are undercosted across the board, and are the single most influential thing that's throwing off game balance. It's what makes Eldar so OP.

They are really only undercosted on hornets and maybe to some extent on war walkers BUT much more so on hornets - I got no problem with war walkers. Automatically Appended Next Post: die toten hosen wrote:
