So, in your humble opinion, step back from the annoyance of some of the "stars" for a moment and think about the ruleset by itself....what don't you like?

#1 - Price - too high.
#2 - DLC - this stuff should be 100% absolutely FREE to download. These are basically advertisement tools. Why should I pay for a GW commerical???
#3 - Allies - any Allies...all of it is bad IMO. What's the point in even having separate codices??? I understand Imperial + Imperial, and Chaos + Chaos, but even these are not good for the game IMO. I am kinda tired of playing against the United Nations of Beneton. The game is diverse enough as is with no allies matrix.
