    Malestrom was not an enjoyable format for me. Sure it seems fun but its so swingy. It could be that I hate unpredictable things like that...hmmm cant account for what could happen

    I completely understand. The CA19 deckbuilding rules helped a LOT, but even then there were times when the Card Gods decided to crap all over you and it was very frustrating. But as a player who seldom plays the same list twice the current tournament-style mission focus feels pretty same-y.

    Fortunately, this problem is easily fixed... I can't think of much reason why the CA18 and CA19 Eternal War and Maelstrom missions wouldn't work in 9e if one tires of the current ones.

  2. I just hope we eventually get old-school Eternal War and Maelstrom missions back for 9e. I haven't played a single 9e game yet but I'm already bored as [big bad swear word] of the current ITC/Nova-style ones just by watching batreps on Youtube. 

    We have Vanilla Ice Cream, French Vanilla Ice Cream, and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream... which would you prefer?

  3. I hear you. My current main army is Orks. My play group is super casual, play-for-fun. Even with that, I don't see a game where Space Marines don't just shoot my Speed Freeks completely off the board. My other main army? T'au, whose 8th Ed playstyle I'm completely not interested in. Hopefully the Xenos codexes deliver. If they don't, I guess 9e will just be my Imperial Fists.... effectively 30k played with 40k rules.

  4. I think increasing the damage capacity of units and the damage dealt by weapons is another attempt at widening the design space. Can't imagine they'll ever move away from d6 based system, and they need to find breathing room somehow.

  5. For the first half of 8e I played T'au, then switched over to Evil Suns Orks. Heading into 9e, I'm planning on playing my new Primaris Imperial Fists as my main army though I could end up adding in some minimarines from my 3/4e force. I've also got an AdMech army on the backburner, where it'll probably stay for a long while.

  6. I've experimented with smoker boxes, and they've been... fine. Good even. But really, they just end up making me want a Trager even more. If only there was some way to prevent all my spare cash going to Warhammer. Le sigh.
