Badruck Tired of Hearing That's Over Powered or Broken

[Spevna]

So My question if the Codex give you a great unit why would you not take 3 of them... I Do not get it at all... but for some reason you guys think you have to take a unit that sucks to have fun... I really may never get that.. some times 3 units that really suck when you take one of them rock when you take more of them...So why should you have to take units that suck.. I sure as hell would not buy a unit that sucked if I new it sucked.. or did not like how it played...I really do not get it at all...

When I am deciding what to buy for an army I base my decision on the miniature. If it is a cool mini, it will end up in the army. If it looks like it would be fun to scratch build, it will end up in the army. For me, rules/stats are secondary to an army's theme or look.

I run an all Khorne army because I like the minis, I think having a load of nutter with axes is cool, and I like painting red. If I wanted to make it more competitive I would get some stuff with other marks. That's the choice I have made as a player and that's why It doesn't bother me.

I get that...

I got my All Nurgel Daemon army because I wanted to play it for fun... turns out that it kicks but too.. taking 40 PBs.. was the key nothing dies and nothing runs away... and it is a theme army... but some would call that spamming not theme building.

interestingly, I reckon it all comes down to the Why. Why did you buy em? If you bought them/scratch built them because you thought they would help you win, then its spamming. If you bought them for fluff reasons/cool minis then its theme building.

some times they do both...

They? I think the question was directed at you as a player, not the unit and how it performs.

There are several reasons not to take 3 of something in a list.
1.) Its boring
2.) Depending on the models, it can be expensive, or you didnt have the cash to buy the models you wanted.
3.) If you run into an army geared to kill that unit, you tripled how many points you wasted (triple land raiders vs black legion ring any bells?)
4.) Other units competing for the same slot that you want in the army. (Sanguinary Priests vs Chaplains vs Sternguard etc)
5.) That unit may cost lots of points (e.g. triple land raiders), which limits your ability to take other units.
6.) You dont like the models
7.) It would be seen as cheesey and no good for a friendly game.

There are probably more.
