    It’s wild that foot knights are the worst unit in brettonias list… but if you had a heavy armour+shield, ws 4, ld 8 infantry block with furious charge and a free ward save. It’d be very competitive in empire

    As a frenchman, disregard everythig said negative about bretonians.
    They are the most awesome faction in terms of aesthetics and cool factor honestly.

      They are a beautiful army, that many people love to hate because of the way they were written in the 6th edition book.

      @@The_Captain40k The 6th edition book was excellent, except some people didn't like the tonal change.
      In the 5th edition book Bretonnia felt very Arthurian, with noble knights protecting the people of the land. The 6th edition was an improvement in every way from 5th, except the flavor of Bretonnian knights changed from Arthurian to haughty feudal Lords oppressing the peasants at every turn. The idea of corruption in Bretonnian Feudal society was in the earlier editions, but there was a bit of a whiplash in tone going from 5th edition to 6th edition. (And since Bretonnia didn't get a new army book until the Old World the narrative of the haughty feudal knights oppressing the people of Bretonnia stuck a bit too strongly for some.)

    Im confused. what does "not being supported" have to do with fun? You could easily argue that being legacy makes an army more fun.
    Legacy armies have free rules. Free rules > paid rules.
    Legacy armies tend to be more "unique" than supported. Its fun playing the army other people don't see often. People love being snowflakes.
    Legacy armies give you more of a reason to use proxies and completely customize your miniatures.
    Would not being Legacy make skaven more fun? not really. Especially with the AoS support the faction has its just bad rules. There are 6 Legacy armies that are basically identical to legacy armies right now and they aren't knocked "because at some point in the future they will get rules" I think we can all agree that "at some point in the future" the legacy armies are likely to get updates as well if the game keeps growing and doing well.
    Overall I disagree with your methodology but im a sucker for a tier list, so thanks for the video lads and keep it up!

      I think that all 3 of us never really finish an army as such as within GW ecosystem you’re used to updates, even if it’s just a new HQ or something, every 18 months or so at worst.
      So when GW are very publicly saying things won’t get updates or be supported that does pull away a little from the army for us. I know that won’t be for everyone but for us it does.
      We did say that being unique was a draw of its own kind and I’ve said before that doing well with a less powerful list gives me far more enjoyment than doing well with a list which is expected to do well, so that was taken into account 😊
      I’d love to revisit it in 18 months and see what we thinks changed tho!

      Thanks for the sensible comment and question matey. I think personally I find it fun to paint and collect new models and rules, particularly plastic over resin which I drop and break A LOT! So it was just a personal reflection as someone who enjoys the hobby side and getting new stuff.
      Thanks for watching

      ​@@liamjordan3596not sure that will be what it's like for old world. Ogers have been supported since their first release in 2005, in the 20ish years since they dropped they've had mounrnfang, stonhorn/thundertusk, iron blaster/scrap launcher, firbelly, gorgers, a hunter and a tyrant. 7 releases half of which are characters and usually waiting about 5-6 years between releases. Good chance 'supoorted' will mean one plastic kit and a few characters every 5 years if your lucky not drops every 18 months.

      @@VoidBornScum Yeah, you're right with regards to Ogres having been supported from their release from within WHFB (6th Ed?) through to the end of the End Times and now into AoS with new models, scenery and rules etc. But when you look at them in the context of TOW and what GW have published they aren't going to get anything else beyond what they've got now. Clearly GW might change their minds over the next 5-10-15 years or whatever but for now what they've got is what they've got.
      I think in terms of support now that means they're getting an Arcane Journal if they haven't already and will get a handful of characters, maybe a monster or unit if you're lucky and models on sale again dedicated to the game system they're in. So in that regard Ogres (or any of the legacy armies, example - despite Skaven getting loads of new models over the next 2-3 months, they're meant for AoS) aren't getting supported at all moving forward.
