Hi Al, haven't posted on here for a while but here goes. I've been thinking of getting back into the hobby after a break from it. But part of me is holding back from it, I think that it may be because of how I left the game. My main apponant was my friend who played eldar and grey knights against my orks and chaos marines. He had a different view of the game to me, where as I'd buy units because they looked cool, he'd search the Web for the "best" units and how to use them against my armies but even when I asked him to tone them down he didn't view hos lists as strong. Some may think I left because I was a sore loser as I lost 8/10 games but it just got to a point that it just wasn't fun anymore. Has anyone else felt this?

I was under the impression that when the new chaos rules came out it would make me come back for definate, I didn't even know till my friend told me but again he looked into the legion with the "best" rules and was like I'm going to play death guard and use all their shnanagins against you.

I know it's long winded but I'm just conflicted about getting back to it, saw a table full of terrain and minatures the other day and was that was awesome, but I don't think it would last long going back to the way he played

Get back into it if you enjoy playing, however, I would not play with your friend. He sounds like a crap opponent for you.

But also, if it has been a long time and you don't mind waiting longer. 8th appears to be dropping at some point between summer and Christmas. Might be worth waiting till 8th and the game changes.

If you want to get in and play, do so. The rumors of 8th are not solid, never have been, and there have been rumors since 7th dropped so take them all with a huge pile of salt.

As Lance said, do NOT play against your "friend". That kind of person is infuriating, and you already sound agitated by him, so why would you play games you know you're going to hate against him?
