I do think the issue is less the point disparity at times and that the things that do get points or what the points are of more. Free things like say, characters solos and journeymen, add up more in Cygnar than they do for us because Cygnar has better solos. Circle is in a place right now that no matter how generous they are with points, we don't have a lot of solos that really "abuse" the freebie points that are given.
I also think it's a matter again of less numerical parity and power partiy. Circle has nothing like Strangeways, the Journeyman Warcaster or Man-Hunters and I think these are what mess up us on point parity, not the actual numbers involved.
Food for thought and all that.
And stuff.

You may be right on that point Blaque, however the changes Mac is suggesting would go a long way. With just a few tweaks our less appreciated themes could see a lot more play:
- two or three war wolves counting as a single free model choice in wild hunt - Morraig being a free model choice in wild hunt - shifting stone unit being a free choice in bones - wolf rider and lord of the feast being a possible free choice in devourer's host - 2x gallows groves being a free choice in every theme
Those few changes make the themes a lot more appealing and allow for greater variation in their construction. Also allowing the higher point models for free compensates for them being lackluster in table performance. We can see that in oracles where the hellions are considered to be way to expensive in any other list ... until you allow them to be free.

I'd like to see any of the above - especially the large based Cavalry solos where it's hard to justify their inclusion but as a free solo i would consider them (and i don't think they would be auto-include just because they are expensive models either).
