Oh yeeees. So good balanced that you have to produce new FAQs and clarification since 2005 year?
I don't reccall exact date of "Unofficial FAQ 1.3" but i guess it's near 2005.
As compared to 40k which produces FAQs and INATs every year (sometiems multiple times per year) and still has so many unresolved issues? Please. Aside from which, FAQs are not indicative of the balance in a game. The steadiness of the models' rules are. And nothing has changed much in the BFG universe except when they released BFG 1.5 and even then the stats mostly remained the same. Costs were the ones which did change and even then not so many.
Compare that to say, the nth time the SM Codex has come out in 40k? Or C:SM? Or Orks? Or IG? And there are still unbalanced models even when those new releases have come out.
So good balanced game, that local communities have to involve several homerules to make game playable? I mean nova cannon limitation, maximum count of x60 lances limitation ,max launch bays. Man, sometimes we have to ban whole roster, to make game more enjoyable.
NC limitation has just come out, which I do not agree with by the way. I haven't heard of any lance or LB limitations. If that's what your gaming group goes, that's fine as long as the decision is come to mutually between all parties. However, as of yet, there are NO limitations. Not even the NC.
You know, for over 10 years of play 0k, I remember only one roster, that deserves ban. Seer Counsil of 3rd edition.
But here we have hemlock\shade limit, dirge limit, nc limit, chaos-lance-fleet-of-doom and many other rosters that make game crappy.
I know English is not your native tongue but you really have to understand, NC limit is something that is currently proposed and note again, people are not agreeing with it. The Hemlock/Shade issue came up in support of the NC issue. Meaning people are saying if you think the NC is broken, then you better look at other combinations like the Hemlock/Shade. People are not saying to limit them. Rather the opposite. I have not seen nor heard of limiting Dirges and lances.
If You say it's balanced. And way better than 40k, i'm just have nothing more to say.
Very much, sir. It is more balanced. There is no one fleet which is really dominant over another though the last 2 years Tau has won the major tournament. Even Orks have won tournaments and they're one of the more marginalized fleets. Imperials for all their short ranged weaponry or expensive launch bays can win against the other races. SM for all its difficulty in winning scenarios other than Planetary Assault and Exterminatus can win but the player has to really learn to use his fleet and that's all right.
Please realize that 40k is the worst example you can give for balanced gaming.
