maybe its a cryx problem, but it seems character jacks get shelved more than youd expect them to. i just wrote this in response to someones thread:
"i wish we had character jacks that were worth taking like a lot of hordes factions do, it seems. most of the time nightmare and death jack are shelved. i havent seen canker worm outside of my lists in literally forever. bathroom use to be a thing, then theme forces happened. erebus and malice dont make appearances. kinda frustrating."
they already get a cool bonus if you take them with their caster. but you cant even take them without their caster in theme forces. so it seems like there needs to be *more* incentive to take them.
am i the only one seeing this "trend"? like, is Nightmare really worth a whole 8 extra points? (it goes without saying, no. take 2 slayers)
do they put too much stuff on one platform and then make it cost too much to reflect all the cool stuff, but then its only on one jack that can be removed and you just lost 23 pts of dj? like, would you pay for 3 different slayers at 11-13 pts if one had necromancy (13 pts), one had snacking (11 pts), and the other had skulls of hate (12 pts)?
but then youre losing out on an ability! ok, but you probably dont need all that stuff at one point. maybe youre facing ghost fleet and you want snacking and extra attacks, so you take the last 2. or maybe you just want necromancy, so you just take the first.
