You know, for those having an issue with not removing models, can I just suggest that there is nothing preventing you from doing it arbitrarily for fluff/aesthetic sake.

We've been playing a ton around here, and have just taken to removing a few models from a movement-tray as you get closer to breaking. It isn't a rule, but does add a visual cue (in addition to your counters of course) as to the general "state" a unit is in, at a glance.

Oh, just for clarity sake, my proposed "remove models" idea is just a matter of personal preference. I like the aesthetic choice of depleted units as nerve increases, so its a totally unofficial, totally arbitrary thing my group and I took to doing.

Oh, that Horde of Zombies is sitting on 10 nerve tokens? Pull a handful of them off. That sort of thing. Purely a cosmetic choice for those of us who like a visual "feedback" from successful attacks.

One other random aside to the original poster and those curious about the game in general... You REALLY need to see KoW on the table to realize what an impressive presence it has.

I had seen a lot of people playing WHFB prior to getting into KoW, and was surprised when the reality how the two define "mass battles" really hit me.

I would watch people play 2000pts of WHFB and say it was a reasonably large game...

And then I played KoW at 1000pts, and noticed I easily had twice as many models on the table.

In terms of raw visual appeal, KoW looks genuinely epic (and that is aside from the fact that the grandeur can be had for oh... a third of GW prices).
