I don’t love free wargear (because there will inevitably better or worse options when everything is a straight swap whereas with points cost you can balance finely), but I can see that it makes life easier.
Fixed unit sizes, however, are supremely shit. All in all totally ripped the variety out of list building, which was one of my favourite things about the game. Lists now will look mostly identical.
Yeah it would be super easy to add points for certain obviously unbalanced options (such as those that are take x or nothing). It’s almost like they’ve deliberately designed it so they can make that sort of change. Fingers crossed.
