Took a Baneblade and then fielded no LoW choice against it. Every game the Baneblade was dead before turn two was over and normally it died on turn one. Feels like they're going for a mini-Apoc type thing and it'll be more about formations as they release than super heavies.Kushialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132990078795221154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607148523152146537.post-36098106058191092872013-12-11T09:09:47.826-05:002013-12-11T09:09:47.826-05:00I don't believe the Squigoth is in Escalation,...I don't believe the Squigoth is in Escalation, is it?

Drop pod melts sternguard will shred any super heavy. Outside of tournament play, I doubt this will be an issue as people can just not play if someone brings something to much. I would rather see a revant titan across the table from me then a screamer star.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607148523152146537.post-52106002141614587122013-12-10T12:12:56.208-05:002013-12-10T12:12:56.208-05:00Yes but if half of the army goes up in flames with...Yes but if half of the army goes up in flames with the loss of 1 model, it'll be rather hard to recover won't it? <br /><br />Unless of course that 1 super-heavy has already killed half of the opposing army i guess...Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607148523152146537.post-18754346577814069092013-12-10T11:32:04.558-05:002013-12-10T11:32:04.558-05:00It's not quite the same - assassination is a v...It's not quite the same - assassination is a victory condition in Warmahordes, but in tournaments winning by assassination sometimes (often?) means a player acquires fewer scenario points. Those points can make a big difference in overall tournament placing. <br /><br />Destroying a Lord of War in 40k just means you've taken out a large chunk of the enemy army. It's more like destroying a colossal in Warmachine - in a 35 point game that's about half the enemy army gone.
