| Some players are neurotic enough to care about the difference between 50 points per model and 60 points per model. Others are neurotic enough to care about the last 15 points in lists. It seems there are a fair few neuroses going around! :D I you don't like minis that come in odd numbers, then don't... |

Well, it seems that Fire Prisms already get to be 65 points each.
If an army list writer wants to break the 25-point increment taboo, then go for it. Nobody is stopping you. |

| I've played 5 games so far ( it might only be 4), spread out over the better part of a year. If an army champion were to write in "add up to 3 storm ravens for 80 points each" would anyone really get angry? Would that army list *actually* get rejected by some higher-up, or the net-EA commu... |

| The current iterations of army lists use points values in multiples of 25. A quck look through some army list development discussionsdemonstrates that this isn't enough granularity. For an individual non-WE unit (add one for X points) there are really only four points values. I don't think that's go... |

| Split from BA thread: itcamefromthedeep wrote: Not having points values in increments lower than 25 is a problem. The game needs that granularity. Sorry, I don't really care about how pretty anyone thinks the numbers are, because at that point you might as well just cut every points value down by 1:... |

| I was the other end of that game. I just downloaded the Army List Compendium and went on my way. I'm about 5 games into Epic Armageddon, total, though I've played a game or two of Epic 40k years ago, and I have a lot of tabletop strategy gaming under my belt. Dobbsy and I have a difference of opinio... |
