You really can't app...@Schnitzel & Metrosh<br /><br />You really can't appreciate how restrained the current codices and army books are unless you played in the early 90's. GW would release say, a Skaven army book, and just ONE UNIT in it like the screaming bell would kill your entire army.<br /><br />Then, the next month, they'd release something for your army in White Dwarf that would counter it. Meaning you had to keep up in the arms race by upgrading to some new uber-unit every other month.<br /><br />Whereas, my Mech IG has been relatively stable in power-level over the last year. The Space Wolf and Blood Angel books haven't changed the way I've played nearly as much as the Nid codex did, and that codex is widely believed to be overcosted.<br /><br />True balance may be impossible, but this is about as good as GW will be able to get short of holding public betas of their rules.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-74051471397942918772010-05-10T10:20:07.250-04:002010-05-10T10:20:07.250-04:00I started in 1992 after a brief foray into D&D...I started in 1992 after a brief foray into D&D. I lived in Derbyshire then (less than 30 miles from GWHQ) so Rogue Trader onwards, it was great fun! <br /><br />Lost the love at 15 and then rekindled at 30. Now i'm building my 4th Army, and have 114 orks to consider... go figure?suneokunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085094845127991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-37789669245942203372010-05-10T09:48:59.890-04:002010-05-10T09:48:59.890-04:00Good read, fun story time.Good read, fun story time.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-83039462345525641172010-05-10T09:46:53.507-04:002010-05-10T09:46:53.507-04:00I laughed when I read the bit 'bout the Louisi...I laughed when I read the bit 'bout the Louisiana guy playing Orks. Strangely fitting. :P<br /><br />And like Mercer here, I also believe there is a slight arm race and codex creep. However, as this game was not intended to be balanced, its more of a marketing gimmick employed by GW. By upping the ante just a bit with each new codex they're giving the gamers more incentive to buy into a new army, more-so the so-called "competitive" gamers.<br /><br />Best of luck at 'Ard Boyz.Schnitzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155166599103912139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-20424599907636828832010-05-10T07:52:14.670-04:002010-05-10T07:52:14.670-04:00Interesting read there Sandwyrm.

Any chance for more painting articles like the previous two? They were real eye openers. After reading your article and seeing some of Grey Death's miniatures I couldn't help but decide my Templars needed to be painted in a more realistic black.<br /><br />MessangerMessanger of Deathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107009355887227092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-9495261742336102732010-05-10T05:23:05.074-04:002010-05-10T05:23:05.074-04:00Of note, you started playing around the time I was...Of note, you started playing around the time I was born(87)!
