I just used bolters because it's a large number, and large numbers get more attention. Could be applied to anything non-AP2 as it was mostly just based on wounds, not overall strength of the weapon used.

Sounds like all options are equally unfun which seems to point to a much more fundamental problem with the current meta.

Yup, that is one of the major issues, if you are not a top level tournament player (and sometimes even then) there is a bunch of stuff that sucks to play against.

Let me put it this way I can take screamer star to a small local tournament and probably just a s bad games as I will if I bring serpent spam...because in both cases my opponent (unless a good player) stands no chance of doing much....The biggest difference with Serpents is they can largely be corrected by having plentiful LOS blockers on the table...2+ re-rollables suck independent of LOS.

I guess the only positive thing I can say is thank god we don't have 5th Ed wound allocation going on now as well.
