My main concern was losing models and thus combat effectiveness. My group and I have an agreement, a gentlemenly agreement not to take WAAC lists. We tried running comp.. but that turned into all of us just trying to find the loopholes, and min maxing/WAAC'ing the comp system. Basically, I won't take 2 units. If my buddy shows up with 2 units of crushers, well then I'll just have to roll out the wrestling mats.
Yea, I know sounds pretty pathetic. Well now we regulate ourselves. Kinda odd, instead of our pride resting on who wins/losses, it now rests on not taking the harder list, as the victory would feel hollow. Yep, pretty pathetic I know. But hey, it works for us.
I understand the Demi wouldn't get attacks in the 2nd rank. I'm starting to think they're too expensive to have "backup" guys in the 2nd rank. 3 or 4 in the front is the way to go. I'll just change my playstyle to allow the Demi's to be the frontal unit, and my knights to be, or attempt to be the flankers. I suppose with the Celestial the Demis can hold up a ranked unit with a frontal charge.
I'm playing an all mounted list, so I'm only scared of S6 or higher. Provided they can avoid S6, I like their chances.
Thank you for the imput guys.
