So, another week and not a lot going on game wise… FFG just announced that the format for almost
all of their events will be Extended going forward though… And I’ve put out the “Shall we run a Store
Championship” question to the local group… Maybe?
Scheduling might be an issue and I have no idea the cost of the kit
itself, so we will see I guess… But with
Extended becoming the de facto standard for all events there is no longer the
issue of having to be concerned about say my Firespray list having thise slight
differences to stay legal in whichever style is being run for the current event…
On one hand, that is great…
On the other hand of course, there ARE things that were never really
well balanced for this edition of the game and there are simply too many things
to playtest and balance to achieve perfect balance of course, but… Nothing that seems too far out of balance
that I can see of course, but then I did not see a lot of the Meta monsters
coming either, so I may not be the one to judge I suspect… Eh, time to get some of my more fun lists out
onto the table I suspect but everyone is still in the “waiting on the points
change” that is supposed to be hitting next month now. No real point getting in reps with things
that are “likely” to become far more expensive and be driven out of the current
Meta… Things like Regen Jedi for
instance are almost certain to go up enough to no longer be the staple Squad
they are now… Or at least it is hoped by
many.
Personally, I’ve been having a number of medical issues with
my (formerly) good eye. Iritis
again. So, pain, blurred vision and a
generally bad time all around. No
motorcycle riding for a bit, no contacts, etc…
Painting has also taken a break as focusing clearly is an issue. Makes doing things like say, working on
computers a joy and a treat as well… Back
to the Doctor who did my last surgery this week to see what she says regarding
a treatment plan going forward.
Next event is the 14th I think…. More Legion stuff as Ken is running that… My Clones are at least primed/base coated by
now, so I’ll be fielding either General Kenobi and 2 Squads backed by the
Speeder or CPT Rex and 3 Squads backed by the same speeder… Either way, seems good with the new 500 point
rules FFG put up. The Clones are a solid
Infantry choice and liking how they play so far…
