    Well, if I'm at the shop or a tourney, water is pretty much where it's at.

    For home games, there's usually some good craft beer involved and again, lots of water.

    Realistically, you can do a fair bit with just the allies and unbound stuff at this point, which is handy.

    That being said, I'd probably go for the 'modern' aka 40K versions of the various Traitor...

    Honestly, probably the same armies I'm considering starting next right now: Imperial Fists or Space Wolves either of which I'm planning to set up to swap between 30K and 40K.

    My use for allies is pretty simple. I can put my Assassins and a Hereticus Inquisitor with my Sisters and do that army the way I originally intended it.

    I'm also pondering doing enough Guard to...

    We'll know one way or the other in a couple of months, I suppose.

    My thought is that, while not perfect, we've got it pretty good in 5th right now. Some changes for 6th would definitely be nice,...

    Jeff and Jim actually repointed GK Strike Squads in the last episode of the TCP Podcast.

    It's worth checking out if you're talking about recosting things.

    Well, I'm guessing wargaming wouldn't be as big.

    For me, I probably wouldn't be in the hobby at all. I'd probably be doing cards or boardgames or role playing or something. Actually, we'd...

    For my part, my group and I periodically look at other stuff. Somehow, we keep coming back to 40K. While I like to paint a variety of things, not everyone does. We're pretty spread out and we...

    I can honestly say that I like most of the model range. Even the models I don't like per se, I can see good uses for the parts. I also like the amount of choice in the book. I'm a pretty strong...

    I've learned to play my Orks quickly so that I'm not in other people's way so to speak. When you run a horde list, you rather have to do something like that.

    I'm rather with Mephiston. I think the Praetorians are alright, but definitely not optimal.

    I've sort of equated them to the Necron version of Swooping Hawks in that they've things that could be...

    Personally, I field Retributors more than Exorcists, but that's mostly because my Exorcist isn't painted yet. I'll probably wind up fielding them together in some sort of mix. That's just because I...

    Well, Dreads are fun and having a Techmarine Dread makes sense.
