You should be more open minded and try them sometime!

. All i did was suggest that he try the new game and what i met was resistance. I am buying two sets so he wouldnt even have to invest any money. Just some time to try it out and see what he thought.

The reason i posted in the first place was because he was simply resistant to trying something new. that is all. Hes my freind. i would like to share a new game with him. My hope would be that he would enjoy it. Being totally resistant to trying it at all is what i find to be so unfortunate. ITs the same attitude that one of the earlier posters had who said that "even if it was the best game in the universe they still wouldnt play it. This is probably a more extream attitue than my freinds but either way the root is the same. Everyone is free to do what they want but when someone acts in what seems like an illogical fashion i think tis ok to question their behaviore. especialy when they are your freind.

Maybe the guy just isn't interested in the game. I don't think I'd bother playing a game I wasn't interested in, even if the models were provided for me to play with. I only have so much time each week to devote to playing games. I don't want to spend that time playing something I'm not interested in, and then having my friend give me a hard time about it.

You do realise you can play 'games of 40k' with other rule sets?

But it's not the same. I know 40K is complicated without being complex, and clunky where it should be streamlined, but I like it anyway, lol! Almost the entire attraction of a 'new' game for me is that I can slip into a different background, like Warmachine or Flames of War, and enjoy it. What's the point of just using my existing model collection? I already have a game to use those models in, and it's going to better represent those models than any other proxy.

I know you do, and the fact that you do is part of the reason your friend wouldn't try Firestorm Armada with you.

I'm not at all interested in some games. ESPECIALLY games that are similar to ones I already play. If I'm not interested in a game, then it doesn't matter HOW good the game is. It could, like I said, be the best game in the universe, and I still won't play it, because it doesn't interest me. For example:

I like battlefleet gothic. If I'm going to play a space battle, then it's probably going to be BFG.

I would almost never try firestorm armada or full thrust, because they don't appeal to me.

But I might try a star wars games system, because how freaking cool would that be?

You see, some games interest me, and some don't. And that interest has almost nothing to do with the mechanics of the game or the level of support it has, or who makes it. I have to be drawn in by the models and the background. If I'm not, then I'll never enjoy playing that game and trying it out would be a waste of my time.

Well Kaldor. You strike me as an interesting person just based on what few posts you have made here. Though i have only read what you have posted here, you seem to be true to whatever code motivates you.

Hi kaldor.
Now I understand.
You want a rule set to specificaly limit the models and special abilities used.To re-inforce the background asthetic on the gameplay.
I would say you are more of a collector than a gamer.

Gamers tend to pefer the rules NOT to get in the way of the gameplay.
Well developed games tend to allow fluid characterful gameplay without heavily restrictive 'scripting' in the rules.

Nothing wrong with your perspective, but its just going to cost you a lot more money than mine...
