Nick speaking,
Call me old school or what, but so far I really haven't got behind the whole Unbound, Formations and Allies thing that 7th Edition offers, mainly due to my small gaming group of friends who do not have a plethora amount of models to play with, and have a limited amount of time and money to spend on making new models, but what the hell, I think it is time to embraced the adventure...
So, stepping out side my door into the big wide world, and I think I want to start with Unbound. I know that there are plenty of options with detachments and Allies to avoid Unbound, but I am thinking of a particular army of mine that I think would really work in the Unbound format, my sixty strong Flayed One Army, which I will post about in the near future.
For now though, I would love to know how are you finding all the new ways of making armies these days? Has it affected your gaming group? Are you finding yourself needing a load of new toys to keep up with everyone? What impact has it had on your gaming experience?
Battlefront Afrika Korps 88mm AT Guns

Well if you're creating an Afrika Korps force for battles in the Western
Desert, there's kind of one thing that you HAVE to have, and that's Flak 36
88mm...

I think unbound works best when it is taken in the spirit of the game. It's easy to make "broken*" (*=or extremely competitive) lists with the general CAD/formation/detachment system. Unbound at least has some slight negatives!
ReplyDeleteI am using unbound for my LVO friendly list, and running a dreadmob + an ork kustom stompa. It means I have 17 walkers and only 2 infantry (big mek and painboy) in a 2k list. Super fun!
Thanks for the comment mate, yeah fun is what it's all about, and that's why I think unbound will work well in my Flayed One list, it's an assault army, with a few troops as a token gesture, I can now make it a full assault army now, potentially with no guns at all, and that is so far out for Necrons, it has to be fun :D
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to comment. Somehow you manage to respond to pretty much every comment, tweet, post. You are a machine! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you play in tournaments, just look for "friendly" or narrative events. They usually allow unbound, and everyone has super fluffy and fun lists! (painting is usually 1/3 to 1/2 the score as well!)
ha ha well, we try =D I only play with my buddies, so we do a lot of list changes to mix things up, so I won't have any issues there :D
