Why you gotta be a troll with every regard to the megabattle?
I put up some relevant information. I care not a whit which way the decision goes. If no one contradicts Opforce3's comments, I have no problem at all with use of LotR parts. Neat models. I don't see this as trolling.
On other questions, I try to provide positive ways to improve the game, to give the veterans with exotic collections a chance to play without training wheels while letting people with more conventional force mixes play against people with more conventional force mixes. My next recommendation would be for the people who want to play on unlimited tables to say as much to Derek and Chase, and sufficient table space be provided that they not be disappointed. I am not out to ruin anyone's experience with the game.
It is possible to create armies that match up very well against many opponents. The all superheavy army is one. An all doomsday device army might be another. I'm somewhat dubious about the all terminator army. Any force that spends the vast majority of its points on a single style of exotic model might count as extreme. If any such army is very well put together and painted, my sense of way-cool-models will often trump my feeling that we should see more sportsmanship. An experienced player with an extreme army might somehow get himself positioned against an opponent that is also commanded by an experienced player, and who also might have a non-traditional force mix.
I can respect the veteran player bringing wild and crazy stuff to the extent he is willing to take on other veteran players bringing wild and crazy stuff.
I believe the above position can be honorably held. I have avoided emotion and personal attacks in presenting the above position.
If you have something positive to suggest that might ease such concerns, I'd be pleased to hear it.
