But that fear can work against you... everyone will always try their best to take him out. If he gets pulled out at our games everyone is like "gotta take him out, huge threat". And although Surfer is a force to be reckoned with he can be taken out with a whole host of special powers and abilities due to his size. Also his defence is pretty high but not unbeatable. How often have you seen a DW whiff on defence ;) If we play a 600-750 point game and someone decides to invest half of their points in to one character... hehe by all means please do :D I have in the past for fun but think 5x Stingers would rock his world while being more effective against other armies as well.
I don't think SS is too much for classic. But I'm sure others will disagree. Line Surfer up against 320 points of the best classic squads/heroes and you will see.

I agree with you completely actually. Stacking that many points onto one hero is very dangerous and nowhere near as effective and efficent as a bunch of squads, especially Stingers. But I guess that courage is what makes them Unique Heroes, and a lot more fun to play for me personally. I mean I do love squads, I just happen to find Heroes to be more exciting, dangerous, compelling, and all around just more fun. But that is just me.
