iippo: The challenge with HiE is that they need bunch of skills to be worth they pay really. Alot of skills actually. Also bloat way-way more than say the amazons. Or Khemri for that. No idea of Khorne Demons, but they dont seem too cheap..

JudasIscariot: What do you mean when you say "bloat"?
excess TV that gives your opponent inducements/robs from you getting inducements.
Useless/bad value skills or players etc.
Like say lvl 7 snotling. Sure its whole lot of fun, but costs as much as the whole teams all snotlings put together -> inefficient use of TV.
Excess amount of rerolls, assistant coachs etc are also bloat. Ofcourse "bloat" is a bit vague term as different coaches value stuff differently.
For example HiE are expensive team, they need lots of skills -> raise value alot -> you cant have too many players and rerolls or your TV skyrockets to outer space.
Meanwhile teams like amazons for example can easily have skill or even two more compared to them and they are still same/lower TV.
