just thought i'd share this with the prevalence of deathstars at the club now...

some of the comments are great too

The only thing you can do is encourage the people that you know with children to help their offspring be good at something where a fair, challenging experience is more important than winning. Then, the next generation won't feel irresistibly compelled to fight their low self esteem by running 8 Waveserpents.

I disagree with most of that post... just seems to be having a dig at Deathstars, I love my deathstars, started half way through 5th with my Draigo/Paladin list, then into my Space Wolves/Guard Blob list, then into my Seer Council, Farsight Bomb and now Beastpack... what can I say, I have an addition to challenge of running a Deathstar.

The bit that really gets my back up and puts my nose out, is this:

what's the point? Playing these armies seems incredibly dull to me, as well. I would not gain much sense of satisfaction in winning with a unit that my opponent could not hurt. Where's the challenge?

The challenge is having all your eggs in one basket, it maybe a basket armed to the teeth and ready to smash your face in, but it’s also the challenge of trying to protect the usually vulnerable troops with your uber unit.

I’m loving the fact our club is getting its competitive edge on, makes games a challenge
