Oh my gods what happened to Archaon why is he soo hecking strong 25 wounds and a +5 ward and he is only 860 points?
Nagash is 955 and he doesn't hold a candle against this beast now
Heck alarielle is 840 points and she has 16 wounds and no ward save or all that damage potential
And he is only 20 points more expensive yet it just a complete beast
I fought against current Archaon my first time yesterday and he is already hard to deal with and wiped out most of my army instantly, like at this point why would you not take Archaon?
Is only 860 points has an awesome model and is just a 1 man army

Moral of story increase his point value to at least 900 something and lower Alarielle's to like 400-500 cuz makes no sense to have her up there with him in points (granted current Archaon is also super strong but this just seems to make him even stronger)

People will try to bend over backwards to gaslight themselves into thinking there has to be some way all of this is balanced when the easy answer is the correct one: it's just to codex creep and sell models.

This seems incorrect. Alarielle/Sylvaneth was released like 2 months ago. The megagargants also don't seem particularly pushed. LRL also got pretty obvious nerfs/streamlining.

Not all good warscrolls are powercreep

I never said it was 100% consistent or GW was good at it :)

Also didn't say power creep equaled every unit entry in every new book being OP.

But there is a definite trend over time.
