FEC were very abnormal in that you can buy the entire army barring 1 model from their getting started set. And that 1 model is not something you need to spam so that coupled with Carrion Empire made them out as a very cheap army for AoS which was also quite powerful.

Plus its a force that also plays well with things like dragons and the like (even if they are a bit rotten). You can take three or so zombie dragons and make a working army etc...


So yeah I can see an army like that becoming popular quite quickly compared to the polar opposite like Skaven where there's a lot not in the collection boxes; or armies like Daugthers of Khaine where the core infantry are very expensive in real money.

Fortunately for me, the AoS group where I'm at is super casual. That's part of the reason why I'm planning on getting into AoS, even if I have to sell stuff for other games.

I get the competitive/tourney thing. The 40k crowd I'm a part of has the ultra-beat down tournament prep bug come through in waves. I typically stay out when it hits, but come right back once it's passed.
