Subject: 3 sources becoming the standard for 40k tornaments?

Highlander (depending on how you cap sources if at all) benefits those armies that have multiple good selections in all FOCs, it also benefits armies with few battle brothers.
Well, Highlander makes everything AOC; it also allows limitless detachments / sources. So, it has less of a "negative impact on some armies" as inferred.
Agreed with Breng/RiTides on several posts about various subjects of the last page.
Re: the Serpent question, Dedicated Transports are not considered Troops for purposes of Highlander rules in most formats, so 1 Wave Serpent = all you get. It does effectively eliminate all-pod armies and the like. It also heavily nerfs summoning spam.
Round here the highlander format we're doin is 1 cad, so no allies.
1 CAD can be fun to do, but we've found in just messing around with the format that you *do* get into the issues mentioned by some about codex creep. Not all single detachment sources are created equal under highlander (or in general). If you have limitless detachment but still all other Highlander rules in effect and all AoC, things start to get really interesting indeed.
