It doesn’t make any sense and causes a lot of frustration in the community. It’s the definition of game imbalance when a game supposed to consist of 1850 points of models allows one player to have 300 points over their opponent. Feels bad man.įree Units and Wargear – Adding a mechanic solely for the purpose of selling models was bad and Games Workshop should feel bad for doing it. How many of you have apologized after rolling that 6 and seeing your opponent’s face.

Do you feel good about it? I certainly don’t. Yeah, you rolled a 6 so you won the game. I have a couple of issues I would like addressed in the next edition that I feel would bring balance back to the force game.ĭ Weapons – This would be a hard one for Games Workshop to change since the rules and weapon profiles are printed in so many publications but I feel having a mechanic in a game that removes singe or whole units (stomp) is just bad for game balance. Thankfully, rumors of an 8th edition being released in the near future have given me some hope that Games Workshop is ready to reign in this crazy train. Rules disagreements and arguments over what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is has populated the various 40k forums for what seems like years at this point. Rules are coming out fast and loose and the community has never been as nasty to one another as they are now.

I understand the reasoning on Games Workshop’s part, if you introduce weapons that remove models on the roll of a die or allow people to take ‘free’ models by taking formations you encourage larger games becoming the norm which (hopefully) translates to increased sales of models, which I get. Since 7th edition we’ve seen power levels grow uncontrollably. It’s hard for me to pinpoint exactly where and why my interest waned but I find myself longing for the days when a twin linked S8 Autocannon was considered OP. Things have slowly shifted for me starting with the release of 7th edition and at this point it’s almost a chore for me to get my army out to play for a battle report or play on our live stream for a Tuesday Night Fight. I wouldn’t even think of starting a new game system while I had 40k to play. The game used to be my go to for entertainment. It’s no secret here in the office that I have been losing interest in Warhammer 40k for some time now. Phat J here to talk about my personal wishlist for the next edition of Warhammer 40,000.
