My theory on the current release schedule with all the new releases is that they're trying to cram as much 40k stuff as they can before they focus on the rollout of WHFB 9th for about two to three...

I'd also recommend playing Kill Team, Combat Patrol and other smaller games to try and get a feel for the game again before jumping back into larger "standard" size games

So weird, the epub version I was using at work does not list PfP for some strange reason, so I'll admit that you're right in that one regard, but it still doesn't invalidate the three other points...

Well, if you want to look at this one comparison: Reavers don't have Power from Pain, which is hugely beneficial to a CC unit, nor are they usually run as CC units. Hellions improve as a CC unit for...

The problem with that idea is that it's easier said than done. A complete overhaul of all the rules and mechanics from the group up would most likely require a complete overhaul of all the codexes...

Except that these units do tend to fit those niches, but people don't like those niches so they automatically discount them. Anything that has a close combat role is automatically discounted unless...

Except that no game hits that perfect "internal balance" that so many people are seeking. The idea of internal balance is that you could take any unit, point it at any other unit with the same cost,...

A friend of mine and I love playing 1250 games. We feel like at that level you have to really think about what you're putting in your list instead of "kitchen sink" style lists you can usually find...

I think this actually touches on a couple of things that I was thinking while pondering this. First off, you can say "why can't GW do what these other companies do?" but you have to realize that GW...

Right on man, there are definitely issues with the rule set. And though I personally draw enjoyment from mission writing and rules tweaking I can completely understand why people find that...

The funny thing is that I kind of feel like World of Pain and Lost Vyper are pointing out part of what actually makes this edition good. They saw the Maelstrom mission wasn't working for them, made...

What? All I said was that when a unit that remains the same it shouldn't be considered a nerf, never said that it was a buff. Nor did I say that the DE in general got a buff, only that they haven't...

You can't have an objective discussion on whether or not a unit got a boost if part of your criteria is how good the model looks.

So the court is crap? Succubus? Grotesques? Talos/Cronos? Mandrakes? Reavers? Everyone who is saying those units got a boost is wrong?
And if they shifted points around so everything costs the...

What? Everything was nerfed? C'mon man, that's simply not true so let's back off on the hyperbole, please.

And, like I said, I 100% reject this idea that GW is purposefully hamstringing armies...

I'm assuming afford means effort? The point I'm trying to make is that people should be careful what they wish for considering that almost everyone demanded that GW plug holes in their codex with...

So the complaint with 6th was that the supplements were simply fluff books with too few rules and no real compelling reason to get them, and now the complaint is that supplements are too good and...

Fixed.

Hey everyone, planning on going to a Kill Team tourney in a few weeks and wanted some input on my list:

Space Marines (Black Templar)

Crusader Squad
Sword Brother w/Power Sword - Option for...

rumor is that there will be a second wave the following week with a Chosen/Havocs box that will be similar to the Sternguard box in bits count. Just a rumor though.

That banner is awesome, great paint job

It's a marketing gimmick to get people excited about the upcoming release. The effectiveness of said gimmick is debatable.

"the option to include squads of Damned Legionnaires"

Am I the only...

Yeah, but is it TOO awesome?

This is probably how it would still be for most groups if it wasn't for the rise of internet forums and the need by some people to prove how terrible the game is for no other reason than to prove it....

Why are you guys even bringing up acceptance of others to play these changes? He said it's just him and a small group of friends so who cares if other people would accept his rules?

I like the...
