Unit Costs

Hey,
i just started reading the rules of T9A and i am wondering why the point costs of most (all?) units are so damn high. For Example clan rats cost 10 each, but in the army book of WHFB it's only 5 points or so. Any explanation for that?

Hi @darth_vader007 and welcome on our forum

Regarding your question - we are using our own costing system, which is approximately double of what GW used in their game.

The reason is that some weapons or units options are scaling better with increased point values.
For example - low Strength weapons on weak troops were sometimes worth 0,5pts, or 1 point every two models.

With the increase you can more gradually evaluate various costs.

Also, typical tournament games are played at 4500/5000 pts.
