Lordofsloths, when half of the models in your army suddenly become useless, not so that you don't want to use them, but so you CAN'T use them, us Chaos players will care.....

Sloths, let me ask you this: Do you really like the Tomb Kings?

Because if you do, quit yer , suck it up, stop crying, and start playing again.

I would like to point out, once again, what happened to Chaos; half of the models in our army got whipped out and put into their own and we can't mix and match between Codicies. Do you know what that means? That means the fact that I payed $45 for those ~eight model units, all six of them, suddenly just became wasted investment. Simple Maths: thats $270 of my army, just whipped out. Now, add to this the Bloodthirster and Lord of Change, again, $45 I beleive, suddenly we are up to $360. And my Chaos Army was always more Mortals, imagine someone who had spent alot more money, enough to have a balanced (between Daemon and Mortal) army.

Now, on top of that $360 loss from the Daemons, Beasts of Chaos were also taken away from Chaos Players. So those four Minotaurs ($15x4=$60), Brayshaman ($15), and two units of Beastmen ($60) I bought, ON TOP OF the Lords and Heros ( about $45 there) AND THEN the book ($20). That's $560, not including basing and paints, conservatively, another $15, for a total of $575.

EXCUSE ME while I play you the worlds smallest violin; at least you can still use all your gak....

A new edition of army should never have to be " Hey! atleast your army didnt turn into **** like mine "
Thats not sloth's fault , thats GW's fault.

Possibly true, but my Sympathy Meter is still surprisingly low. At least he can adapt to the changes. This, coupled with the fact that Chaos Units really need to be feilded in 15+, require 5 Models per Rank, and come in 12 Models per Box, really killed Warhammer for me :(

True.

So yes, I am well aware of what happened with Chaos, certainly in the 40K context. (And TK is not the first army to receive such treatment, and certainly won't be the last.) That was the "Fool Me Once" in the title.

Yes, but what happened to Chaos in the 40K context pales in comparison to what happened in the Fantasy Context; Even if they lost a few rules, Chaos Space Marines can still be played like the Legions. Half of the Hordes of Chaos army was just wiped out; only four units of CSM were wiped out. Once again, just because we lost a fair amount of rules in the last codex, doesn't mean our lists suck. They just can't be as fluffy anymore.

I spent a lot on my WE 40K army as well.

And once again, you can still use yours. There is nothing stopping you from feilding a World Eaters Army, you just have to use a few Boltguns and such. I absolutely can NOT use my Beastmen or Daemons in my Warriors of Chaos army.

Swell, I can use the same models. To me, that's like being told that I have to speak Italian instead of English, but at least I can still use the same alphabet.

No, that's like being told that you can still speak English but have to understand Italian.
