Its too complex ... to many books ... too much potential imbalance if people are playing odd lists, etc. etc. These days Spartan Games is looking cool (Uncharted Seas, Firestorm, and Death or Glory ... they have a 40MM game too but that's really not that interesting to me personally). I'm just looking at generic skirmish games too. Beyond that I'm not really probably going to end my GW gaming all together but I totally relate to what your saying I too used to have basically every army in the game. This year I got rid of my sisters, got rid of three marine armies, I'm finally going to dump my Dark Eldar ... I'm considering getting rid of my Necrons (might wait for the new dex to sell them though) ... etc. I miss the fun hobby side of GW games ... which largely seems to be vanishing.The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128492035551042878.post-59145597693819738002010-05-19T09:26:55.502-06:002010-05-19T09:26:55.502-06:00Rant on brother! lol...
I don't have any tour...Rant on brother! lol...<br /><br />I don't have any tournies available that are any closer than a 2 hour drive or so. Don't know how they're run, but after playing in the last few years of the (now defunct) Atlanta GD's GTs, I really don't want to either. They were always a mess (run by the same guy every year, go figure) . One year they said they screwed up & shorted one round by 45 min., in 40k was no problem, but the WHFB guys were screaming! 40k games getting put on WHFB terrainless tables when 40k tables were open and being told quote 'deal with it'. Gee, and we paid money for that? <br /><br />Now we have the BoLS clinical dissection of the game on an almost daily basis, and new players see that & think that's how the game is played, so those math hammered 'WAAC' lists are showing up @ the FLGS friendly game nights along with the 'I saw this online & they said it was good' line...<br /><br />And price increases? Well, I used to have close to 20 separate 40k armies. Now its 5, with one set to go to ebay, to cover an unexpected expense. New purchases are financed by the sale of old stuff (miniature recycling I call it) and my collection has been dwindling for years. Feels like like I'm a price increase away from finding a new hobby, which sucks as I've enjoyed this hobby for roughly 15 years or so.Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.com
