Make the full command 25? Any reason? Isn't 30 pretty standard for elite infantry?
I am of the opinion that when a model is a certain point cost, the cost of the command should match accordingly. For the most part, I think this is adhered to in most books.
2-5pt model = 3pt muso, 6pt stand + champ
5-8pt model = 4pt muso, 8pt stand + champ
8-10pt model = 5pt muso, 10pt stand + champ
10-15pt model = 6pt muso, 12pt stand + champ
15-20pt model = 7pt muso, 14pt stand + champ
20-30pt model = 8pt muso, 16pt stand + champ
30+pt model = 10pt muso, 20pt stand + champ
Agree on minimum unit sizes, although Greatswords make a more durable speedbump than flagellants.
More durable, but less reliable. Hence the choice between each.
hardly durable, 5 t3, 4+ save models. will get pwned by almost anything. Plus stubborn 8, without a BsB nearby, still fails around half the time does it not?
Fairly ridiculous to think that might be overpowered!
Flagellants are less durable though. 5 t3, no save models. With WS2. Its the unbreakable part which adds reliability, but they are going to die much faster and easier than Greatswords.
The probelm isn't how hard they are to kill, but the fact that they are almost free. 5 elf elites would cost close to twice as much, and die almost as easily.
I don't get what you mean? The player still has to take an GotE over an Arch lector to get them. And the elves (HE) have always strikes first, and the Dark Elves have a whole bunch of extra fancy special rules also. And yes, Eternal Guard die.
