Cayhn Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi! Why would I ever take a Daemon Prince without wings? Why would the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth not take the Sigmarite Shield? There are more examples but these two stand out in my games. Point-wise it will be the same if the DP can move 8" or 12". And the shield won't limit the Dracoth in any way, only improve it with the same point-cost. We only play matched play. Have I missed something obvious? Is this only for fluff-purposes? Thanks!

BaldoBeardo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's because the model kits have options to build without them Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Those choices were written before matched play existed, so originally it made no difference. Now they simply allow you to ensure that an older model is valid alongside the warscroll, so if your Daemon Prince doesn't have wings then you can field him as is.

Cayhn Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Alright, thanks for the response. Takes away some of the listbuilding element. Too bad, I would prefer different options to have different impacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I quite like the simplicity of no single Warscroll* having multiple points costs in matched play, regardless of the options selected. However, there are a few situations where it is a little strange though, such as Phoenixes; why would you ever run one without an Anointed etc. *The nearest is probably the two Prosecutor load out options being priced differently, however they do actually have two distinct Warscrolls.

Kramer Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Because you play Narrative and your champion just got promoted to daemonhood but needs a few more kills under his belt before he is allowed wings But on a serious note it is indeed just to make sure older models still have valid warscroll.

Cayhn Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Yes, it makes sense that there are different options available especially considering Narrative play. But in matched player there will never be a reason for the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth to not use the shield, and it's not an old model, right? But I understand, it's just that I like that from 40K, having to weigh the pros and cons of spending points on upgrades instead of models, for example.

LCoD(s) from Dracothian Guard boxset are built with a shield. So the option is to make the older (not old) model work in matched with wysiwyg. I converted my starter set LCoD and I think you probably should do so but not converting it shouldn't prohibit its use. So there will never be a reason bar limitations on a hobbyists time and or wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, too bad they do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
