Weak Brotherhood --- I say...so what? Look folks, you have a CHOICE of what army to play.
Having begun my Warzone life as a Bhood Battle Bishop, I think it is a measure of the commander how a Bhood army does.
Perhaps if measured point-for-point, the Bhood doesn't stack up....I say that's fine! Bring 'em on. That, my dear friends is what we call...a challenge. That's what made Hanibal (not the flesh eater, the Rome beater) an eternal legend, what made the battle of Bannockburn a multimillion dollar movie, what makes dating super models so much fun...the challenge man! The challenge! After all, who remembers the name of the Roman Decurion who conquered Numidia?
Not all armies in the world are created equal...just as not all battles (in fact I can't really think of any) were fought on equal footing.
I played the brotherhood when I first began (many many many moons ago) because something about their neo-crusader nature appealed to me, that and their mystic abilities (though I feel these could be a little more exciting and interesting...but more on that another time).
I took them because I LIKED them, and that meant liking their limitations as well. I mean, come on fellas, they're not a total loss. I have rocked the field with those sentinels, and I've seen Nicodemus take out a Mercurian Maculator and still have time to
spank Sinstress Salandria chainy bottom.
My suggestion is, try playing more scenarios, rather then stand up battles with even point per side. As was mentioned, Bhood boys rarely break from even the grimmest fight.
And against the DL they are downright nasty...Quelle surpris.
So - I suppose my final say on this (until I have more to say, that is...I know you're all very excited) is look on the Bhood as the underdog, the "300," the army for veteran players teaching newbies, the tactical challenge, the force to hone your UWZ skills to a razor edge with and therefore gain DOUBLE GLOATING rights when you DO win.
NOTE: I also find its healthy to gloat a bit even when I lose....though, gosh, it's been so long since that's happened....
Example 1: You lose...
Bauahaus Commander: I crushed you yet again.
Bhood Commander: Perhaps, but I died fighting to the last man..
Example 2: You win....
Bauahaus Commander: Drats. I lost.
Bhood Commander: No! No! You did FINE. ...even though I destroyed your mechanized monster with an underarmed band of sandal-wearing monks but there's no reason to feel bad.
....Fluffwise/figwise-- I don't disagree with several of the suggestions made (I think Sentinals shuodl have Enhanced Charge, and 2ndardy Attacks for Morts, Assassins, and Crenshaw are spot on),
BUT...and folks, that's a big but...these are minor, albeit appropriate, fixes that arent going to dramatically alter the success of power of your force.
In closing I might say, because it's broke, it may not need fixing. Perhaps the choice is to look inward, young Padawan. Don't give in to your anger. Remember your jedi training, practice to perfect your skills
...and stop whining beotch!
Bdeh-bdeh-bdeh...that's all folks.
