I'm with Adam and Matt on this. And think Skyth & Iron Warrior should kiss and make up. Since all armies are diverse in design and clearly getting even more so with every book released, they just wont fit into a checklist based comp system without a million exceptions and then someone will still find something exceptional in their army that slips under the radar, or something that got unduely hosed because it was meant to limit some other army. While I rarely bring an army that gets hit hard in comp, I would want to know beforehand why my score is such and if its something I could improve on if I wanted to. IN BIG TOURNAMENTS. In a random RTT whatever - no big deal. I see no reason why 3 experienced players cans sit down for an hour, eyeball a list as a whole, give it a number each and average it out. A: simpler in all ways B: doesnt unduely hose unique build or themed armies (ogres, goblin wolfrider horde) C: allows 3 mindsets into what is "fair". D: alleviates certain army "bigotry" to an extent E: ban Treemen - just because! When its all said & done, pair them up according to comp scores. Let the Titans among MEN duke it out, Let the comp bunnies try to win with their fluffy armies. Lastly, if you are going to include comp - make it count enough toward overall that it cannot be ignored. Nothing worse than a 30 player tournament with everyone bringing cap guns but one guy with a tactical nuke running the table and winning overall.

Darn it, I've been pidgeonholed again. ;D

While I personally seldom bring a "fluff bunny" army to a tournament I can't agree with this statement more.
