I think I've seen this sentiment carried by people before :)

The problem is, at least in tournament play, that it is a niche tool that is just under 30% of your army. Friendly games and scenario play are more forgiving of taking an expensixe niche choice like a Warlord, but in tourney play your entire army needs to pull it's weight.

The only way I can see a Warlord synergizing with the rest of a Marine, or to a lesser degree Guard, army is if the army is built around the Warlord. Whether this is a feasable thing to do, I don't know.

It's a good job thats not how things are balanced or we'd end up with nothing left on the table at the end of every game :-\

For instance it is raised that a Warlord struggles to cover its cost in kills, but EA is about objectives and I'm doubtful that Marines or Guard can do better than parking a Warlord between two objectives in the enemy half, and having having a solid BTS to boot!

I'm going to be testing Warlords this coming year, I just wish I could get Marauder bombers into a 3k tournament list too!



At > 2 * 300 pts anything is bound to be a niche tool. Niche is fine, so long at is usable, like Great Gargant and Warlock.

You'll get plenty of draws with your Warlord. You'll struggle to win games though. But hey prove me wrong!

Edit: that's with marines, guard with mechanised infantry you might to better...
