So everyone's playing house rules points per model right?

I don't love free wargear (because there will inevitably better or worse options when everything is a straight swap whereas with points cost you can balance finely), but I can see that it makes life easier.
Fixed unit sizes, however, are supremely shit. All in all totally ripped the variety out of list building, which was one of my favourite things about the game. Lists now will look mostly identical.

Yeah I find it has almost taken the fun out of making lists especially with my main army being BA. Death company can basically take any combination of ranged/melee weapons but now that they cost the same it's always powerfist +melta pistol or thunderhammer. Everything else is objectively a worse weapon.
Good luck with that powerfist and melta when you're drowning in 40+ boys
If that's the case chainswords +1 attack on 5 guys isn't going to be the difference that matters.
Your point about chainswords is valid, my point was more that the idea of a power fist and melta were the "objectively better choice" isn't correct. Against hordes I feel a power weapon and a hand flamer would be better.
As an aside, how do you have your models kitted right now?
