The reason why teclis is hated is because hes an SC that is actually worth his points. Nobody complains about how overpowered karl franz is because hes worthless.

I honestly cant think of many SCs that are worth their points at all.


Havent played O&G eh?

O&G SCs are awesome some more some less but I wont say one is too costly except Azagh the bugger maybe.

Well, actually SCs like grimgork recieved a nerf in 7th and that wasnt reverted in 8th but they´re still woth their points. Ok, grimgork is a lot cheaper now compared to 6th but anyway.
SCs are mostly fine, some are a bit OP but most of the time you pay extra points for using a SC not for the stats itself and that´s ok. Plus there are those themed army players.

On topic, I think Shadowblade can be a nice hero sniper. With his stats he wipes the floor with magicians and other non duel heros. Even vs duel heroes he doesnt look super bad. 300points for that statline aint that bad I say. You wont field him on <2k points games, but once you field 2.5 or more points he shouldnt be a drawback. WS10 Ini10 and ASF is nasty, add poison and his special rules and you get a real killer. Warmashines aint his targets but lone chars and even monsters are on his list.
