Hey peeps
I have justr learnt a new lesson in the power of nerf. Just played 2000pts of khorne (everything possible had MoK no no Khorne inf units only veh) against Blood Angels. I tabled them turn 5 - I only lost 14 men (and a DP). 5 of those, Milord Kharn decided to add their skulls to the pile. 2 of them, were from when their Rhino blew up. So BA only managed to kill a DP and 7!
Won't go into the lists in details as I don't want to do a report. What my comment is, I can see that there is some goodness in the list - when we had a good ruck on, and Dante was giving off preferred enemy and corbulo was doing FNP(I think?) this was the only army I have ever sweated at as credible hand to hand opposition. Luckily dice were on my side, with Kharn making 5 of 6 inv saves to stay and decapitate Dante.
The lesson is I won't be so scathing about armies that have been nerfed in the future - one out of fairness, two out of feeling to a lesser extent not being able to field pute worldeaters and 4th ed bloodletters it happened to me, and three because we should all realise every codex is going to smash everything when it is first re-released.
I would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts on what army was nerfed the most and why?
