Re: Rostam and the Army of Davids are banned from the forum for 6 months.

Tracking their IPs we found some that matched Rostam's forum account and the rest from the same IP address in Tehran, Iran. If you go into members -> D -> sort by fewest posts (so 0 shows first) you'll see all the david accounts. They number about 90 in total. https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/or...

Ah yes, tanks are famous for their melee resistance and having a charge too.

Re: Lord General range behaviour

It's normal behavior for all units that have different maximum range on their weapons within the same unit, can't do anything about it beside using attack move which most of the time will allow the various units to fire from their max range, meaning the sergeant will still run towards to target but ...

Because I don t look at wargear in dependence on the map. That it works on 1 map very well and sucks on the others is no argument.

Re: Chaos faction balance; weaker units.

Yes. It is more of a counter initiation wargear. Still I fail to see how that makes it bad. It is a strong debuff. The fact, that it is bound to hitting the enemy first! For the price it holds, it is not good enough on the slow chaos lord ( neglecting any buffs and debuffs). Visage requires your sl...

AC doesn't do "nothing" with marks... Also if you say MoK CSM have no support from.Chaos, you are not using your faction properly. Worship, doomblast and globals come to mind first. Visage never used? It is still imho his best accessory. Has been for the past 6 years. That is a playstyle ...

I said, they trade badly for their cost AND don t have the utility for example of banshees Then why are you comparing 2 completely different units with different roles? Banshees are T1 no power. Once CSM upgrade, they are also power melee shock troops Banshees cost roughly the same power wise to be...

Could it be, that you have had bad experiences with ppl using fluff reasons within their argumentation?

Heretics have 75 melee skill so they can not get specialed. Pretty cool, dont you think? MoK CSM useless? How are they weak? They have an awesome melee charge, battle regen and awesome melee dmg. With the right support and or globals, they become deadly. Best thing to do in 1v1 for example is to ge...
