I also played WoD extensively. We tried to break it. Every time we came close bad stuff happened. We litterally could not min/max like it was a video game or our weaknesses would get us dead. In a non-video game the GM can hadle such things so it shouldn't be a problem. If they are letting their players run rampant through the system, then that's on them.

DM: You want a terminator armor at your level of power? A.k.a. LVL 1 wa

PLayer: YESSSSsssss…. my pracious!!!!

DM : OK

Player:  WOOT my PRECIOUSssss!!!!!

DM: as you open the door there is a mighty wariror of khorne with a deamonic power axe and a nasty mastercrafted demaonic possessed plasma pitol, yelling"Mine! the Gods said it could be mine!!! I only need to take your head off!"

Player: …

DM : Well a terminator armor is like a relic right? and that guy as been wanting one for a while… if all of you guys really put your self into it you can win it…

Player 2 : I look around.

DM : Well that is the problem, you see an army of champions runnign up the hilll yelling "No its mine!!!!", "Mine"…

PLayer: but it's mine!!!

DM: The gods gave you a relic can you hold on to it?

PLayer: I quit

DM: terminator armor problem solved…

I'd want to play in that game. I'd never have to fight a well armored opponent in my life. I just tell people he has Terminator armor and apparently Khorne berserkers with Daemonic Power Weapons AND Daemonic Plasma Weapons come and kill him for me… 

Because those things fucking grow on trees.

I admit that was an extrem example but the way I see BC, it's full of mean poeple looking to get more POWA and a little known chaos marine with a mighty terminator armor as to be ready to defend is stuff at every corner.
