Hi,

I was just looking over the GW online store, checking out the Eversor assassin model. 12" charge and 3+D6 attacks on charge are nice! I was also looking for IST plasma gun models and a Priest with plasma pistol to join that squad. Doing some quick calculations here and there, (point-wise mind you, not in $$) I, again, kind of looked at another box of basic sisters instead...

Sister with a bolter or a flamer with Divine Guidance... As much as I want to use assassins, =][=, Repentia or Penitent Engines, every time when I play with that idea the result is the same: stat lines, players here and cost seem to steer me away from investing time and effort into those models.

BUT, I am also hypocritical because I am just putting two Penitent Engines on the other side of my desk as I am typing this post :yes:

Of course, playing to win and playing to have fun are two different things, and not every army has to be "lean and mean", but experience, tactics and great deployment will not always carry us to victory.

Hence the question: Are we the army of Divine Guidance only?

Well, I do understand that Tau shoot, Nids assault and Necrons just look mean, but I wanted to vent some frustration (and I know that this is NOT THE FIRST TIME we are crying about that)...
