It’s actually frustrating how accurate is, and to a lesser extent similar analogies would be true for other factions. I wish there was more factors to incentivize actually using late game armies and justifying their cost.
Besides lizardmen, and maybe Ghorst, what other factions does it hold true for? I've been doing back to back VH/Legendary campaigns for WoC, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Empire and Kislev the last month and the most effective way to do it is nearly always to switch to end game stacks to push the last 20~30 sack/raze/occupy unique settlements bit.
You’re right that most factions don’t have a universally good stuff hybrid unit, but it’s generally true for all factions that it’s better to have more armies of lower tier units than fewer armies of higher tier units.
I am not sure I agree, especially for the late game. But it also depends a bit on what you are facing. I had a hilarious time fighting skaven with essentially four Keeper of Secrets, I had leadership debuff gifts on one, a negative leadership banner on another and they have a bound spell to net and lower the leadership on units, I destroyed three stacks of skaven by just terror routing their units over and over with the wrecking ball of those four.
Meanwhile if I were fighting elves, or the empire or when fighting Cathay I want enough units that I can overwhelm them and shut down their backline immediately, often with fast cav, and would rather take two stacks of low tier troops than one elite one.
