The last incarnation of the Skaven was BRUTAL... so steampunky and stupid. And the total discard of years of fluff by saying "Oh, you know how the Chaos powers are rivals? Just kidding, you can take anything from any power in any army!" That KILLED me.<br /><br />And I was just looking through the latest WD, and found a horrifying picture of some Jabberwocky creature alongside some Bretonian Knights. Uhmmm...no. The Knights would be on a quest to kill that thing! <br /><br />So frustrating.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01992613594254823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-25749835569262103922011-12-19T06:23:43.652-08:002011-12-19T06:23:43.652-08:00GW has indeed crossed over and sold their soul.

My first army and indeed my pride and joy when I was twenty were the Dark Eldar. I didnt know what I Was doing do I collected them. A full Force Organization and then some. Any army I had the tools to adjust and play what I Wanted. With cautious optimism I waited for the release of their codex and when it finally arrived I saw GW greed for what it was. The entire codex was driven to sell their new crap. All of their old models were "decidedly" less powerful and that is putting it mildly. While a company is entitled to make money, the wholesale fleecing of ones customers is a little distasteful. Me and my friend have started selling out GW armies and have sworn off GW games. Anyone who has played them for any length. Look at their Codex line and how the sales drive the codex instead of the game or the fluff doing it.Cominternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940042313441635930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-79777612917775761022011-12-19T00:11:21.295-08:002011-12-19T00:11:21.295-08:00I recently bought Priestley's Hail Caesar rule...I recently bought Priestley's Hail Caesar rules and I'm contemplating on using them with my warhammer figures. I think for most armies doing HC rules conversion will be easy. I liked the low-fantasy feel of early warhammer fantasy 6th edition best and I'm looking for something similar. Of course, the thing I'll be missing will be the army lists. I think balancing those would be a monumental task for a fan conversion project.Mikko Asikainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592243922449669655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103967522725268062.post-88417088230950217452011-12-18T14:27:41.080-08:002011-12-18T14:27:41.080-08:00GW has been ridiculous on so many levels (games an...GW has been ridiculous on so many levels (games and prices etc.) for so long now there very name sparks contempt among many gamers.<br /><br />I've already sold most of my collection(roughly 7 armies or so at start) and will sell the rest.

I think they try too hard to cater to 12 year olds who spend their parent's money, rather than trying to keep their base.Chad Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15084711824869449643noreply@blogger.com
