I like my LR's, but they are more or less unplayable given the rule restrictions and high point cost... I mean unplayable as an efficient option, yes they work, but comparing how quickly the 250+ point transport tank dies to the 40 or so point cost Razorback? Some options with weapons that you can never realistically fire all of them in a turn, etc... Cheap Melta everywhere makes the big tanks less usable overall for me :-) 'course, just my opinion as always, YMMV...<br /><br />Have to admit I am a bit concerned that if the game becomes even bigger, more "stuff" on the table, it will either be so "simple" or worse, easily broken...<br /><br />And, yes, really hoping that some good game groups form for the other games out there, not necessarily to replace 40K, but...Paul Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800315555473550635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918834225580166117.post-61088012762424160602012-05-24T08:13:16.480-05:002012-05-24T08:13:16.480-05:00I'm expecting 6th ed to be a money grab rules ...I'm expecting 6th ed to be a money grab rules wise. A change in rules, so you will WANT to go buy more/different stuff.<br /><br />Like LR's being pretty good, and StormRavens being awesome, and being dangled like a carrot on a stick for us to go run out and buy it.<br /><br />I feel bad for the FLGS owners. I Haven't asked Loq about it yet, but I bet a lot of them are not too happy. With being required to buy new paint set, and now price hikes (which I bet the FLGS will see almost nothing of...)<br /><br />GW has priced itself out of my budget. There are plenty of other games I can play and get as much enjoyent out of for a LOT less money. Flames of War. Necromunda. Blood Bowl. (I have all those)<br />or Infinity, MERCS, or Malifaux all require much less of an investment to play. Heck. I'm seeing decent stuff about DUST warfare.<br /><br />now to work up the community for one of those...Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918834225580166117.post-3935032443871364102012-05-24T08:01:53.104-05:002012-05-24T08:01:53.104-05:00:-) Sadly, my first 2 Raiders are from the ancien...:-) Sadly, my first 2 Raiders are from the ancient box I bought when I was here in college the first time... 2 in the box, and IIRC it was something like $25 for the box... I'm fairly neutral on the increase, I understand costs increasing a bit, but it's not like they are new molds or packaging... Won't make any comment at the store of course :-), glad in many ways I already have too many armies I guess... This is pricing itself beyond what I can afford to spend were I to want to pick up a whole new army or even expand much on the ones I have...<br /><br />And of course there is the whole new edition thing looming over it all...Paul Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800315555473550635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918834225580166117.post-55105389684057345162012-05-24T07:08:46.778-05:002012-05-24T07:08:46.778-05:00yeah when I saw the 20% or so price increases, it ...yeah when I saw the 20% or so price increases, it seals the deal that I'm not buying anything new from GW.<br /><br />I can be persuaded to sell stuff off, and I will probably discourage people from starting anything GW.<br />it costs too damn much.<br /><br />although the LandRaiders I bought at '09 Gencon for $50 each are looking like a sweet investment now.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.com
