You barely ever see this in 40k and it basically forces people to use what the TO's or other gamers want them to use. (i.e. no creativity)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1211966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1211966.page GMT Comp scores and special characters
You see, Fantasy is in a lull right now, due to Chaos Daemons being the best damn codex in the game, due to the relative undercosting of the entire army amongst many things. Hence why it is frowned upon to take their special characters, as they are already OP from the start.

However, I see many people take Special Characters to tournies.

Karl Franz on Dragon, Morathi, Arch Lector Volkmar, Grimgor Ironhide, Teclis, Kairos Fateweaver, Archaon etc. all have their places in competitive lists.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1212018.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1212018.page GMT Comp scores and special characters 40k you'll see people being docked for taking special characters, or having special characters banned as well.

Not all the DoC special characters are nasty...I'd rather have a regular Bloodthirster tooled up than the the special character one.

I think the penalizing special characters come from the mindset back from where special characters were opponent's consent only so there were defacto not tournament legal and you never saw them played.

Personally, I would rather not see special characters on the field...But that is just my opinion. There is a local Empire player that I like to give a hard time that he's playing a Vampire Counts army because he keeps on bringing Kurt Helborg back from the dead ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1212447.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1212447.page GMT Comp scores and special characters 40k. this leads many to believe that special characters should not be taken. I personally don't mind special characters and I feel they add a lot to the game though some feel that they unbalance the game. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1213738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271314/1213738.page GMT
