I've played once or twice. Seemed fun, but it's too expensive to get into IMHO. I know, I probably spend just as much on RPG expansions, but I have more of an option to not buy them then with minitures stuff. So it seems at least.
(BTW, I thik this would be better placed over in Words without End. I don't particularly care, but some people seem to be a stickler for it.)

I'm working on fielding a 2000 point, modular Cha0s army. I say modular, because the army remains the same in tactical execution, regardless of point value.
The core units are two regiments of Chaos warriors, 2 chariots(/w character) and that's it.
The Vanguard of the End Times
Verjigorm, Herald of Khorne, Lord of Skulls
Lord of Chaos, mounted on a Chaos Chariot, 275pts

I'd argue that it's expensive rather than over-priced, but when playing Warhammer, part of the setup of your battle is an agreement to how big your armies will be. Each unit costs a certain amount of points, so you can scale your battles from a 500 point skirmish, say, to a 3000 point all-out war. I'm just going off my recently acquired knowledge, though. I'll know more when I get a chance to actually play.
Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become critics. They also misapply overly niggling inerpretations of Logical Fallacies in place of arguing anything at all.

It is - hypothetically - a way of balancing different units in the game. Each model costs a certain number of "points;" point limits are used to decide the overall size of the game. In theory, armies with the same total points value are balanced against each other. In practice, this is often not the case (though WHFB is /much/ better about it than 40K, unless you're playing VC or Skaven, which are hideously overpowered.)Buzzed wrote:I have never played this outragiously over-priced game. But I am curious, what is a point?
