I find that more frequently its chaos fanboyism.

People just really want chaos space marine rules that aren't bland vanilla as all get out. Besides my Mechanicum (which i have always wanted to play but previously did not exist in 40k, and even now I find the FW rules to be far more unique and interesting than Like Guard But Different Skiitari) I have only ever faced CSM armies in 30k.

Why they can't just give chaos chapter tactics in the exact same way that the imperium gets them is absolutely beyond me.

Because SM are the poster boys of 40k and have to get all the best toys, and then Eldar are there to get all the best rules.

Sure. Why not. Time travel, dude.
I'm not being sarcastic, I voted yes.

Because they never know what to do with them. They've shoved so many things into one thing that they aren't sure what to do with it anymore.

They want you to think of it as "Warbands" that comprise everything, but satisfies nothing.

That makes a lot of sense. I stopped building and playing CSM because the current codex just sucks, especially compared to SM (you can tell where most of my disdain for IoM comes from). If I really cared that much about making it work I'd have bought IA13 and given that a shot. Most of what I see from 30k/FW is just different SM chapters and snowflake IoM Primarchs.

I think 30k armies could be fun to play with 40k ones. I'm considering starting up a Salamanders legion when money situation gets better, so it would be cool to actually play games with them. I can't imagine how disappointing it would be to spend the money and time on the forgeworld armies and then never be allowed to play them.
