Nice model...
(back to my rant) Corey, you are ignoring the facts. The data are conclusive both from playtesting and from a statistical analysis. Compare the regular destroyers (which you have not changed) to any formation from any half-way reputable list and you will find them overpriced or overgunned or both. Look at the playtests and read the descriptions of destroyers involved in the battles. They wipe out everything they shoot at. Shooting at them becomes nigh impossible when you have the bulk of the Necron army up in your grill not to mention a 12BP orb dropping a minimum of 4 BMs on you.
I loathe the LV change but I'd say it is better than doing nothing (which is what you've effectively done).
If that's a Tomb Complex I saw I am jealous... mine is just a big pyramid...
I'm not ignoring anything.
I'm just saying that you are getting into the realm of hyperbole. Two destroyer formations making you unbeatable? Please.
I've only ever seen one formation like that, which was the old Eldar Harlequins from the early list.
Further, you should pay attention when I say things about changing things slowly over time. I want to see the results of each change, and harping about the things I haven't changed BEFORE EVER USING THEM with the changes that are there isn't doing anything other than irritating the hell out of me.
Try a game or 3, let me know how they turn out. I ALWAYS have several possible changes to things lurking in the wings, and I like to try them out as things need adjustment. But first I need actual test data to work with so that I can see WHAT needs to be tweaked where.
You guys need to remember something. It isn't always important that a given model or formation is in line with others... what matters is that the LIST plays in balance with other lists.
If you go out there playing people who have equal skill and win more or less half the time, it doesn't matter if the damn destroyers fire TK shots! There are plenty of units/formations that are so good it's stupid, but the LIST itself is balanced against the others.
That's what I have to accomplish. The purpose of making these lists is not to make carbon copy versions of other lists that just use different models. It's to create an army list that overall is balanced in play with the existing lists, and the only way I can be sure of that is to see how the current version plays against other armies.
Go out and play some games and let me know what happens... and people: give me DETAILS!!!
