    Which you would find by looking in a book/pdf

    Not really. All I'd have to do is look on the other player's roster which has point values on it.

    But you keep on rollin with your FOC lovin'. Its a clunky, unwieldy design that has outgrown its original specification.

    Unless the other player decided to flub some numbers here and there in the roster. This has been a regular occurrence at local tournaments here with many people now banned.

    Thats not a problem specific to any game design however. Dumb people who care more about proving their prowess with toy soldiers than having fun will cheat. This is known. It doesn't matter if they're using a FOC or a percentage based system.

    Actually, yes, they would. None of the stars are legal if you're limited to 25% hq and 25% elites. You can take much, much weaker versions of them and still technically get a rerollable 2+, but the seer council would only have like four guys in it compared to ten warlocks, the baron, and two farseers.

    And then a week later a new meta with new deathstars crops up.

    % doesn't stop death stars in Fantasy, it can't stop it in 40k either.

    Ahh, you are talking about the other player. I am talking about when you yourself are building an army list. I don't usually worry over the opponent's list.

    Thats assuming warlocks would count towards the %, Im willing to bet that "slotless" units would not
