This is a thought experiment of mine that came about from a conversation with a friend of mine. What are our thoughts, dakka?

I say 40 or 45 points.

realistically, they are power axes without unwieldy, so I figure 45 is a good stopping point to have that I: 5 goodness to have more though behind choosing it.

I asked a friend this afternoon what he thought and he said he would still take them all the time if they were less than 50 points. I tend to agree but I imagine far fewer MC paragon blades would be taken in the 40-45 point range.

Why do they need to be raised? One in army is...not that scary?

I would have to say over 50 points. And even then, I'd probably take one. It's just too good not to have on a melee character.

I never said they should be more expensive. Its just that they are auto- takes at 20 points so it kinda mutes the feel you get from praetors who have a half billion options when everyone always tales the same few. I just wondered at what point they'd be good but not auto- take
