All valid points but when people come here to read about Reece, blackmoor, and jy2, it's because of their competitive tournament resume and bias. While respectable hobbyists, nobody's reading their reports for golden daemon paint jobs or fully converted armies. We're talking top bracket GT players using competitive lists against their peers.

We can say "yeah but hobby" or "yeah but anything other than taudar" but none of that helps people who actually want a codex hat stands a chance in a 200+ player GT.

Like I said I am waiting to see how they do at the LVO. People have won GTs without bringing cheesy armies. A lot of people respect Reecius for how he did with footdar back when they were considered the suck. Winning with Taudar doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment to me.

I would trust my current Nid build in a GT. It would be the army I would take to the next one if I could attend. This coming from the guy who regularly placed in the top 3 at the GT's I attended.

I would take bugs to a GT because I never have owned them and winning that way is so so awesome.

I took armies I had never used before to ALL the Ard Boyz events. Too awesome.

Yes that is so much more exciting for sure.
