Then the warscythe comes crashing down... So my lord never really stood a chance... Oh I have to shoot it? oh yey, so I cant really get into combat with it and have at least a fair fight, yey so fun *rolls eyes*...<br />-Abusive lists: Serpent spam, missileside markerlight riptides, screamer star, etc, etc because some people just love to abuse a set of rules that were not designed for competitive play..<br />-Random Charge distances, that was just thrown out and slapped in, it very poor ruling tbh, I liked fixed charge distances and I did not see why they had to change.<br />-Walkers are now useless (and how MC are used in every new army now, so now not really the 'Nid special thing anymore) So dreads (which were one of the main things that got me into 40k) now just provide first blood, oh yey joy for my Hellbrutes and Dread mobs, even the new Maulerfiend is crap against other units its meant to be a close combat monster..<br />-First Blood, obviously whoever made that rule, must had been watching a Michael Bay film (most likely Transformers...)..<br />-Chaos Marine Codex, I like how they added Warpsmiths, but in all honesty its just bland and really boring, most of our options are CC units and in the age of shooting, it really doesn't work, and to actually get anywhere we need Helldrakes, I mean look past them and what do we have? nothing much really apart from FDP, but they lost Eternal Warrior, so Im not really too fond of them now, I have tried to keep my two Helldrakes out of my lists for a while now but whenever I fight my opponents I have just had a loosing streak, so I feel like Im compelled to use them just to compete, and Im not even talking about competitive games here, so imo I don't like our current codex, I've gone back to Orks and tbh, I've had a lot more wins and I actually did not feel powerless like I had with my CSM before hand (roll on the New codex WAAAGH!!!! hehe).<br /><br />Just my Opinion however I am really looking forward to Escalation, just the thought of being able to use my Stompa (and Kill Krusha tank) in normal games makes me feel rejuvenated to think of having my big stuff on the tale, alongside some Forge world I have :)The Warp Forgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618034407069679112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6290806675829794805.post-78541743922538493212013-11-28T23:33:21.758+00:002013-11-28T23:33:21.758+00:00Things that have improved the game for me:
- Prec...Things that have improved the game for me:<br /><br />- Precision shots - IC's are actually special in some way (challenges do this too to an extent)<br />- Focus fire - a lot more possibility for tactical decisions<br />- Overwatch esp in terms of tau - positioning matters<br />- Removal of models as closest to closest - most annoying thing of 5th was just never killing the 1 or 2 useful models in a unit<br />- 6 genuinely varied missions<br />- Possibility for endless allies/fw combos<br /><br />i could probably think of some more if i had more timeDimmyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748903925658560870noreply@blogger.com
