Yet Philly, you will not bother with taking a mortar?
Why do you keep saying it is okay but then say it has no real use. It is only there for amusement. If you only take something that is supposed to be rather common only occasionally, if at all, I say somethings needs to be fixed.
Sometimes it feels like you are happy with stuff in the list remaining uncompetitive cause you belive people should play the game like you do. Thatīs not a sign of a balanced list of some things sees almost no use. And if you save something is unessential, I see it as a sign that it is really worthless. For why take a mortar when you already have lots of things that can kill the intended targets just as well as the mortar and that are all core?
Why do you wanīt things to always remain as they are, Philly? You just say people should skip the mortars and take dual helstorms and two cannons instead, cause that is the best setup. Seems like you donīt care.
Is it not rather dull that the same armies takes to the field time and time again? I think the mortar should be made just as valid a choice as the cannon and the Helstorm, and people do not ask for supermortars. They simply want to feel that the mortar vs. cannons should be less simple.
What is wrong with thinking of how it could be improved while we wait for the future new AB, whenever it comes...
Why always strike down upon people talking about new ideas, changes etc.
If the mortar is situational, it is crap. Most people donīt accept your view that tailoring is the shit. Most people want to play with more fixed lists. And in a campaign for example, you canīt change. There are so many ways to play the game besides regular tournaments, where you canīt change your list based on your opponent, and it seems many people play that way. They would of course what a better internal balance and tug between different choices in the book.
