Any deathstar can be beat by bringing a balanced tactical army that can exploit its weaknesses. It just seems like there is so much b*tch moaning going on right now.

Sadly, however, some codexes do not have any way of making a tactically balanced list...

CSM...

Wow. I think all these are pretty cool ideas. I don't get to play often, and just played against a screamer star a week or so ago. It only had one herald I think. Admittedly, I was playing orks, but over the course of the game, I inflicted over 100 wounds to this unit (thank you burna wagon that lived until turn 3). I killed 2 of the screamers, the second was just because my opponent (a previous GT winner) didn't want me to feel bad. How is that not egregious and powerful? I mean it's not super offensive, but criminey! It's like a mobile tar pit of bad assery.

Best thing to do vs SS is focus on other units. If you a tough unit that can survive a few turns in assault use tuts to tie it up.

This solution would just lead to players fielding other broken units. Deathstars can be beaten by TAC armies. I'm more of an advocate for developing better tactics and strategy to win rather than using house rules. The problem with house rules is if one is accepted then more will eventually follows. Also where do you draw the line? You're introducing a mechanic to curb one perceived problem that also restricts others fielding far tamer lists, thus unfairly impacting them.

Yeah!! House rules suck!!

How are those double FOC 2000 point games going?
