I have gone on about this before but it deserves its own discussion.

I strongly object to these pointless Escalation artifacts in 40k tournaments. Escalation was released before 7th edition as a standalone way to include superheavies in 6th edition 40k. Why are TOs maintaining that armies playing with superheavies need some kind of handicap. specifically, giving the opponent bonuses for seizing the initiative, victory point bonuses, and/or allowing the warlord traits.

I can play against 5 knights with my stompa and he gets ****ing bonuses against me for no reason. awesome.

Are TOs actually thinking this stuff in between GTs through or is everyone just "rolling with it"?

I petitioned the Alamo broes but never heard back.
