I recently bought a new power tool for ‘doing the gardening’ (yard work is the
equivalent for those of you across the pond from me, I think) called the Hedge-Raper
2000. This thing is dangerous, and not just to me! It tears chunks out of the hedges
and small tree branches with reckless abandon, bits of wood literally fly everywhere
and annoy my neighbours, who tut while picking bits of hedge off their cars.
In short, it kills green leafy shit. It can’t however take on anything more than a small
branch.
There’s a few troublesome branches reaching onto the garden path, and it simply isn’t
good enough. I need a chainsaw, but in the UK you need a licence to use one. It’s
amazing that they’ll let a cack-handed muppet like me run around with a motorized
hedge cutter, but I need special permission to use something only slightly more
dangerous.
Which brings me on to my Black Templars. Like the Hedge-Raper 2000 they tear
through lots of units with ease, and a win always looks on the cards halfway through
a game. However they then encounter some tough branches, sorry I mean units, that
they are just not equipped to deal with and I’m left with the impression that I need a
chainsaw (er, better list? Even I’m struggling with the analogy here).
With the current Black Templar ‘dex though, I’m stuck looking at those branches
wishing I had a chainsaw licence. Here’s hoping that when the new codex comes out
it’s the book we’ve been waiting for, and we get access to a tool that can cut through
proper branches, or units….
At the very least, let’s hope it’s not as broken as my poor Hedge-Raper 2000. Those
branches really were too tough for it.
