So...
i have reached a point with my guard army where im thinking of two quite differant army lists, both using the models i have as a base but each going thier own way.
the first being a highly mobile army with a few differant transports and deployment options which i know will do well vs my friends i play against or the second is a much more static guard gun line army with a good use of orders and many heavy weapons it should do well enough for me... still have a few go out and grab units for objectives.
So.. a choice lays before me.. play a army i know will win or play a army i think i will enjoy more? at the end of the day i like winning games but if after the 3rd or 4th game vs a close mate they are sick of facing my army then it isnt fun for both of us.
what do you think? play the ball breaker list and force your friends to up thier game? or play the lesser list to make it more of a challenge?

Personally I'd always prefer to play the toughest army you've got with my all comers list. If I get brutalised, I'd go back and draw up a more specific list against you. If that gets massacred I'd probably try again a couple of times and then get bored.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you are willing to change when you're opponent gets bored then there's no harm is there?
Which list is more fun for you to play?
