Thoughts? How will it affect your meta?

Noooo, really?!
It was really down to this or chess clocks.
I like it!

Or just up the cost of chaff.

Although this event is kind of lame:

If you have painted your models in a specific way, we expect you to use the rules relevant to that scheme. For example, if you have painted your models as Salamanders, your army must have the Salamanders keyword. If you have created your own unique colour scheme, then you may give them any keyword that you wish.

Seriously not a fan of color based WYSIWYG

2k is only too high because units are undercosted. And units that are overcosted will be even more adversely affected by a lower point limit.

I don't see 250 less points making a big deal when it comes to time.

I would rather they just upped the cost of chaff models. Any model costing less than 10 points should be look at it. Does it really deserve to be as cheap as it is?

But the more I play this edition and the more it evolves, it seems that the game is dictated by 2 things: Either lots of individual models or kickass invulnerable saves. The move from APX to AP-Y, and the drop of sweeping advances, seems like a mistake.

What do all these have in common? They were top dog at some point.

What is the most common int hat list:
-Horde of super-cheap GEQ
-Invuln saves
-A 3+

I'll give you a hint - it's the Power Armor.

Power Armor itself might not be that good, but most of the things that have been top dog this edition have been forces with lots of 3+s.

If you think the 3+ save had anything to do with why those lists were good, i don't even know what to say.
