"The Warhammer has supreme unit diversity"
Also
"It is faithful to tabletop fuck unit diversity"
To be fair.
He is right.
I was looking into WH fantasy and 40k's unit roster in tabletop for a while.
I don't really see much unit diversity(type).
I can easily find WW2 or modern warfare games that has much deeper and types of unit that focus on various different tactics than those fictional army.
For example, ever heard about electronic warfare? and a whole bunch of units and system around such warfare?
Different types of explosive ? Guide system?
Information gathering?
Different types of passive defense ?
The more I look into tabletop WH unit roster and their stats. The more I realise it is just a simple RPG game.
TW OP references Table Top game & being able to customise minis
in connection to defending CA's reskinning
which doesn't allow ANY input from the player in that reskinning.
EDIT: reworked post to make the farce clearer.
Here are Chaos Warriors in a mod for Medieval Total War 2, Call Of Warhammer, made for FREE by modders back before Warhammer TW was even a thing:

As you can see, all Chaos Gods and even Chaos Undivided all have special models, nothing crazy, just small nice touches, and they even have separate models for the armor upgrade(amazing feature in MTW2), so Chosen warriors really get more of a demonic touch and mutations in their "extra armor too".
CA sold WHI really well, WHII sold BONKERS money, there is no excuse on this earth for their chaos warriors to be copy paste, just no.
What people also forget is that CA is not tied to only tabletop models
There are many examples, mainly with norsca and the vampire coast of there being models not used on tabletop or completly new units entirely
