You have failed to deliver proof of this statement multiple times, why do you keep preaching it?


I have stated SO many times that the only way to make 40k a balanced set of rules suitable for tournaments is to take away most of the choises and invalidiate large amounts of fluffy lists, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!

We get it, guys. You really, really hate the fact that some people play competitively.

Your casual, for fun lists don't bother me or anyone in a tournament. Cannot for the life of me understand why my/our lists throw you into a fury on the internet.

Please calm down and return to the topic at hand, instead of vaguely being rude to one another.


I dont hate that people play in tournament but dont fething ruin 40k anymore than you already done.

Wonder if they will FAQ where or not Agent of Vects works for all Drukhari or not.

Argued for like 3 hours with a guy on BolS that all Drukhari can indeed use Agent of Vects

Imo they can.

I totally disagree with this - you can fix most of the issues in 40k with points changes. Points changes don't invalidate anything in a casual environment. If anything - it will make your matches more interesting because regardless of what you take - you will be able to have reasonably close games. That is better for everyone. Including tournament players.

If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.

I think a ton of people will be disapointed because we just don't know what the expect.

Just like CA.

Based in this, then the BIG FAQ 2 will have much less hype.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

FAQs, Erattas, Updates, and Beta Rules. People might disagree about the content, but there seems like quite a bit.

You can fix most issues in 40k with points changes. Inequal acces to soup/allies is one of the exceptions. It really hinders faction identity and worse it makes proper balancing (including points costs) harder.

I know, but the magnitude of those FAQ's, erratas, Updates (Many things are an update, we don't know what they mean), etc... is still unclear.

Nope, it‘s labelled Black Heart. Arguing otherwise is a clear violation of the golden rule, which is part of RAW.

Too many nerds F5ing.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

Can't get the video to play. Not sure if its the work connection being dodgy, or the problem is their end.
