And that the superhuman hyper elite types begin to suffer at those sorts of sizes. The mechanics of the game sort of mirror the fluff. Go figure. Anyone would think that those game designer types knew what they were doing....Zzzzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363838253700265309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010917663653102321.post-82721869412886019502016-08-30T22:02:15.472+01:002016-08-30T22:02:15.472+01:00Yep.

Grinding battles of attrition can be made engaging (as demonstrated by Mr Abnett), but even then, as you allude to, mostly as an ambush or commando raids within those larger grinding battles.

The airpower alone would likely do the trick, one of the major gaps in the DW list seems to be a distinct lack of AA, and with the Corvus clocking in at 200+ points once it's kitted out it's going to be outmatched quite fast by cheaper albeit more numerous flyers.<br /><br />It seems that the DW would be ideal for small Zone Mortalis/Kill Team type games, but as the points go up the super-elite nature of the deathwatch becomes a detriment, balance-wise. <br /><br />Fun to paint, though!Mordian7thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631987711681654113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010917663653102321.post-38214824996713899932016-08-30T14:32:00.319+01:002016-08-30T14:32:00.319+01:00I love the idea of small elite forces vs the human...I love the idea of small elite forces vs the human (or alien) horde.
