Forgive me if this isn't the right thread for it but I have an idea for balancing AoS armies.
After reading about several ways online I think I've come up with a good one, I would like everyone to tell me what you think and poke any holes in it if you can.
So first things first a limit on how many warscrolls you can take something along the lines of:
1-3 Hero warscrolls
1-15 warscrolls
0-3 Monster warscrolls
or something like that.
Secondly you would only be able to take the minimum models (A unit of skaven clanrats must have at least 20 models so 20 is your max and your minimum, A squad of ogres must have at least 3 so 3 is your max and minimum.)
Lastly squads of the same kind can be combined but still count separately for the warscroll limit (A squad of 15 Dwarf Hammerers (Unit Size 5) would count as 3 warscrolls but in game would be a single squad.)
Any thoughts on problems you can see or ways to improve it? Thanks!

Obviously this is a very simple way of balancing the game. Unfortunately, it runs into the same problem of balancing between monsters.

Flamespyre Phoenix is absolutely ridiculous. It is the best monster by a landslide. With your method, you are assuming that all monsters are equal, but they are not.

I like your idea of limiting war scrolls, and we will probably see this at some point, but I think the only way to balance this game is to add point costs.
