What to do when an army just gets stale?

[Schlitzaf]

I play Black Templars as my primary army, and have toyed with the idea of getting some forged world mini's for some cool new toys. Recently I just find the army boreding, I've used every unit several times over, have tried numerous different lists (assault, shooty, black tide, and duel raider etc) I just can't get engerized about the army anymore. The Forged World models are awasome and all, but there is nothing feels really templarly except for the new dred, Chaplain dred and Ceastus.

I know many if not all will just say, play somthing beside marine statline. But when I try playing those armies, be it IG or Tyranids I can't get motivated to play them. Maybe it is because the game has become simply one of numbers for me. Heck even other Marine armies I just find dull, I just can't find energy they are just kinda there. The other armies just don't click for me, when I play them.

So my question is, what do you do when you get to this point, when you've exhausted your unit choices within your codex? How do you physc yourself up for new army, what makes you motivated, beside switching to use the powerful new codex. Do you just wait for a new one, or do you switch to one and force yourself to be motivated.

If you don't like any of the other armies then have you looked at other systems?

[Schlitzaf]

not terribly, might try that. Fantasy looks interesting, and Wotr/Lotr is picking up in my area again. All I have is Isengaurd so need a good force (as in on the side of Good not good like that is good).

I swap between game systems if I get bored, don't forget Necromunda and Mordheim, low miniature count, free rules. You do need others to form a league though, single games aren't as fun.

thxs i'll give it some thought, through when I played/look at Necromunda earlier rules seem a bit clunky to me. Then again, it could have just been a bad first impression.

Definitely try a new game system. Switching between 40k, WM/H, Dust and Dystopian Wars gives me a breather and lets the other game systems seem fresher when I return to them.

Of course, I don't have as much gaming time anymore, so the time delay may help as well.

Mordheim is silly amounts of fun. and the rules are very tight. Highly recommended!
