A fun experiment with a concept that I found quite interesting. Basically one of the reasons why codex creep seems so extreme is that books are "over-tuned" to an extent upon release then get nerfed. Then the next codex comes out at a similar level to the previous, pre nerf, codex but looks stronger because they can now operate at the level of the un-nerfed codexes that went before.
A fun game and well worth a watch, IMHO.




Liquifier spam Drukhari would give quins some real issues I think, even with the minus six inch range.

Make stuff more deadly is not the answer to 9th editions problems.

I'm not offering this as a solution, more an interesting observation.
I think it shows that the rules writing team are happy to release overturned books with a view to to bring them down afterwards. So each new book looks more crazy because it's being compared to already nerfed, previously overturned books.

Well yea. Sell hot op first, then make sure next stuff is even more op. Standard marketing. And rules are just marketing tools.

Well, my point is that it's not so much that the next books aren't so much more op but as op but not tuned down yet.

exactly. GW's designers can't balance the game, even if they wanted to release OP armies by design they fail at it almost as often as they 'succeed'.

GW is so incompetent you can't tell if the imbalance is by mistake or by design.
