every time it happens people complain. People, understandably, don't like having some of their minis made "obselete" even if you admit it's proably, long term, for the best, it still stings

This isn't MTG where you just buy a new pack of cards and play. Units and models in an army can take people months, years even decades (if you're as slow as me) to get finished. It's a long term hobby, but GW seem to be treating it short term like a card game cycle and dumping stuff in and out every 3 years (sometimes less). Which is why people complain.

New Marine Points!

Also an FAQ for 'Nids that isn't worth the time it took to type this sentence.

I feel drunk. Some of those changes are wild, especially since 1.3 wasn't that old.
Does the basic Libby no longer give a 4++ to a unit for simply existing? Because that dropped from 100 to 65. (edit: or I was looking at the wrong entry and/or combined an enhancement with the base cost in my notes yesterday)

Most of the characters dropped at least 15 points.

I was toying with a list yesterday (based mostly on leviathan, new releases and a few other units), and this freed up 180 points. A full 10 man squad and change.

You'd think they'd just released Space Marines and were trying to sell minis or something.
I bet version 1.5 is already made, ready to nerf the SM back to it's old points.
