Competitive list building is a major problem in most GTs, which is why I actually like GWs tourneys: they incorporate having fun and painting into the scores, meaning the best list, can be beaten by the best Army or the best Player.17yearoldhobbyisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528253151940087048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-13514487122054336142013-09-20T04:13:59.556+01:002013-09-20T04:13:59.556+01:00Well, the real problem is competitive list buildin...Well, the real problem is competitive list building WITH competitive playing.<br />If you look at all the US major tournaments top 10, you will, for sure see the same list, but also the same players...<br />And, in Europe, check the ETC lists, there are all the same, but Poland guys and Germans always win.<br />If you take 2 casual players one with the last Tau/Tau shiny from Internet and the other with whatever Dark Angels. You can be sure the first one will win.<br />Now, take 2 very competitive players, same armies, you'll get the same results.<br />Dark Angels can beat the Tau/Tau only if one player has really more experience, have a good game plan, and is prepared to play against Tau.<br /><br /><br /><br />Zërohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440375261228903134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-89209961825861235192013-09-19T22:22:33.041+01:002013-09-19T22:22:33.041+01:00Never mind, I realise that was a stupid thing to s...Never mind, I realise that was a stupid thing to say now, having looked on your profile!!17yearoldhobbyisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528253151940087048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-45140010081864884692013-09-19T22:19:46.884+01:002013-09-19T22:19:46.884+01:00Phew!!

Thank you for the feedback, it truly is appreciated!<br />@Brian, the next post is very much about that, but also comparing competitive list building to competitive playing. Big difference IMO<br />@lokken, one of my mates plays sisters, brought them to a tourney a while back, and kicked ass. They need a rehaul though, from a models point of view. Not sure about the rules (as in I don't really know them) but I know they're not bad, just hard to get. Thank you, I will return the favour. Your two cents is appreciated here: everyone can have they're say (unless they spout heretical ideas disagreeing with me)!!17yearoldhobbyisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528253151940087048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-15245810499798656302013-09-19T21:59:39.333+01:002013-09-19T21:59:39.333+01:00Yup it irritates me about people net listing and p...Yup it irritates me about people net listing and panning stuff out of hand. If you think that only a couple of thousand people may post on line but sure there are tens of thousands of player irl. The negative few are always the most vocal. I play sisters and when the grey knight codex dropped everyone was saying they were OP but with my sisters I beat every GK army I played against. looking on the net sisters are apparently fail but it depends who plays with them. I think too many people look on the net and disregard units simply on what some internet person says who may never have played with that unit or army. It generally boils down to those who know their army inside and out will be better than someone who has cut and pasted an army list from the net. Just my 2 cents :D nice article though and will follow your site :)Lokkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366133071181168541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6830152544848840124.post-58901129096442185702013-09-19T21:53:54.073+01:002013-09-19T21:53:54.073+01:00and your solution spells out what the whining is a...and your solution spells out what the whining is about. when someone says a army isn't "compeitive" that means it lacks an easy win no brainer death star build they can win with, without thinkingBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584530780335715745noreply@blogger.com
