Of course it is, that's what makes it great!! Blizzard has never hidden the fact that they are GW fans. As anyone who has played any amount of Warcraft knows.

I am so picking that up. It weighs a ton.

Can someone here give it a good independent review please. While I can trust Russ to have reasons for what he says the thread is still synonimous to yet another glaze eyed 'best ------ evar' commentary.

I took your word for it Russ, but thanks for the links to the reviews too.

I've seen this at my FLGS, the box is huge. Not sure if anyone is actually playing it locally, though.

I'm going to break it out again in the near future for a D6G detailed review, so there will be even MORE info soon.

I like board games like this because many of my friends play different miniature games than I do (i.e. some still play 40k, some FoW, some WHFB, while I mostly play WM and Hordes). This kind of game lets us all sit around the same table and have some good fun. All for less that the price of two termi squads!
