A wargamer should play for fun, not for winning. It's more fun losing a challenging game than to win one too easily. |

Hi Element206
What I dislike about the 40K ruleset is the ; "you go first and blast half my army away while I wait here passively, then I go second and try to salvage what's left of my army".
There is no interaction like overwatch or reaction in this game. Also, with the move-shoot-assault phases, every unit can potentially get 3 actions per turn, this is way too much.
I've played several editions of 40K over the years and this problem (in my opinion) has never been solved.
Then, I played Starship Troopers and this game system ROCKS!! Also played AT-43 and the alternate activation system is very good.
Unfortunately, both systems imploded and vanished...
I also dislke the scifi-gothic combination, so I only collect armies that do not show this too much; Tyranids, Orks and IG amongst others.
But on the positive side, I like the game support GW is offering and like the way they keep improving their figs and replacing them with plastic kits. I luuuuuuuv plastic; easy to work with, conversion friendly and it can withstand the onslaught of my young kids without paint chipping off or bits flying in all directions.
greetings
