"We're the guard, we don't get nice stuff"

But really guard is about the challenge is how to find a way to take the broad array of options and make something clever out of it. Not to crush your opponents per se, but to hold out long enough to pull or deny those last few points, if you were clever about the situation. Any time Guard is strong it's because they want to sell some models or by accident I suspect.

Honestly I worry less about whether or not we will ever be top of the meta for more than a month, but on what might get squatted to simplify the line. The virtue (and collector's challenge) is the vast diversity of things you can tap to build your army, and the customizability on the vehicles and within units. That's a lot of work to maintain and try to balance.

One of the harshest things GW can do is say things like "Yea those 10 crusaders you painted up, you can only run those with sisters now" or deleting vehicles and units (*Cough* Krieg *Cough*).

I don't expect things to be fair, I didn't pick guard to have an easy fight, but please don't waste my time and money by deleting models and customizations I've invested in.
