Well its not like I'm going to be throwing my
DE models in the bin, however why should I lie about my feedback and just nod my head positively in regard to every change?
They buffed a bunch of gak, and nerfed a bunch of other gak, so now we are replacing one unbalanced codex with a new one. Except for $70 for the rules. Not including DLC. And the fact that absolutely everything unplayable except the transports (and even they can't be played as they used to) from my last editions army was nerfed. Now don't get the term "nerfed" confused with the term "rebalanced", plenty of those models (all of them) were far from
OP and the changes have not balanced them at all, merely making them unplayable so that I have to make a new army. Why would anyone be happy with this ? I don't get it? We've got nothing new, lost a bunch of units, and for every playable unit in the dex there is one that will never see competitive play. The changes to Talos don't make them any less trashy.

nothing jumps off the page and slaps you so hard that you can see your long dead ancestors from the Stone Age with how poorly balanced it is compared to the rest of the army and how much you need to spam the crap out of it.
Actually, models do exactly that, jump right off the page at how unbalanced they are, but instead of spamming the crap out of them, you are avoiding them like the plague. You seriously gunna take Wyches Ravagers Khymera Malys Pain Engines (yes, they still suck even in numbers. Yes, both of them) etc etc?
But oh great I can play my court of the Archon and my Mandrakes now. Possibly. But gak I don't own any of those models, and conveniently, my well balanced far from
OP models from the last edition have been neutered into shelfwarmers or counts-as. Guess it's time to crank the wallet out.
Am I really not allowed to be disappointed in the fact that they ruined good unit balancing for the sake of model sales?
