That's the problem - they are all over the place. While
GW authors at least
try to hit balanced spot,
FW seems to not care at all, and in the same book you can find stuff ranging from plain terrible to horribly
OP. Actually
balanced units are sadly rare, vast majority of
FW stuff has problems in either direction. I have seen claims
FW armies 'average' to balanced but that doesn't work either, if not for the $$$ price every single tournament army would consist of almost nothing but cherrypicked
FW units...
If they do make a unit that is genuinely great then it usually gets nerfed in uselessness at it's next update (see CA).
Yeah, and that's why
FW IG, Chaos
FW stuff, and Fire Raptors sweep the tourney tables of everything that isn't Eldar for a what, whole year without nerf now?
[before someone pointlessly nitpicks - yes, some things were nerfed. biggest offenders though were left alone, so it's not like that matters for overall balance]
