8th edition has its flaws, though nothing that isn't easily houseruled, but it is at least a game of Fantasy Battles rather than Overly Technical Fantasy Skirmishes.
Agreed. Am I the only one that hopes they get through all the books before they turn the edition? I don't know why people are still pushing the "8th edition sucks" stuff. I mean fantasy will never sell like 40K or space marines, but it is a solid rule set. The switch from 7th to 8th was desperately needed to correct the issues created by the Demon, Vampire and Dark Elf books. 8th just needs a few tweaks. I think the huge spells and cannons could be toned down slightly, and you could fix steadfast by counting all the ranks in a combat, instead of going unit by unit, but neither issue really bothers me that much. I admit I would be a bit disappointed if they did a complete overhaul. I would love to actually see a complete edition since all of the new fantasy books are pretty well done save for a handful of items.
