The return of the Blunderdome!

[Jack Shrapnel]

the first one was pretty awesome and Goonhammer is back with a new twist on the format

all books as written... no FAQ's... no point updates.... no Nephilim pack.... just base books, points and base missions as written. Teams of two where an ITC competitive player (including Jack Harpster and John Lennon) gets paired with a casual player.

Round one is in the books:

this is pretty crazy

I gotta admit I'm pretty disappointed by this so far. The original blunderdome junkyard format was magical, but this just seems to be an exercise in 'whose book was written the absolutely worst' and I'm kinda skimming/uninterested by it.

Anyone else really suddenly not feeling this?

I think it's an interesting "What if" and shows how lethal (broken) many of the books have been on release. But certainly the right ups last time were more engaging, and I don't know what Eternal War missions are, so that's about of a miss for me.

[Jack Shrapnel]

I think it's a good way of showing "what if we played the game as written what would happen"

horrible, unbalanced things.. that's what would happen.

But I found Dark Eldar base book vs. Votann to be extremely interesting, as when the Votann book was released it had to be immediately nerfed because it was the "most broken book ever".... was it though?

[Typhus]

On properly terrain-dense tables, DE will put the hurt on Votann badly, being their natural counter - put Votann up against anything trying to weather damage as a game plan (Death Guard, Knights, Deathwing) and watch them crumble like a crouton.

Planet bowling ball makes Votann and Tau the kings of 40k!

Yeah pretty crazy when Tau which I consider one of the most durable armies in the game gets basically tables at the end of turn 1.
