5th edition was sooo good until Blood Angels. Then each successive book went further off the rails. Necrons, Space Wolves, Grey Knights...

5th ed Space Marines is, IMO, the best book GW has ever done. There's absolutely no broken list you can write with it. There are many very good builds but it's simply unbreakable. It is balance incarnate. 

I feel the same way, 5th edition was the best base rule set.  They just kept adding unnecessary details after that.

What I wouldn't give for a 5th ed. rules set with the current GW codex release and desire to tweek the game.  Gods of Chaos that would be amazing!

Well it was a little easier without Devlan Studs defending their bucket.  But after lugging that thing around I understand why, I'm just glad I don't have to store it :)

I think it was mostly achievements.

One of the best years yet guys.   Keep it up.

Thanks again for putting on a great event Ordo.  This was a great reminder of the things I enjoy about this community.

Some sort of admech nonsense with a bunch of infantry and Belisarius Cawl.

He is playing a mob of orks in Trukks lead by 15 meganobz.  Super fun to play against, not very good.

7e ONLY - I've not played for a year (seriously), so I'm just coming for fun.

I only half facetiously say that it would be easier then for you to pick up 8th at this point

Well Fernando has been doing cross-fit but his capoeira is a little rusty.  Still I think he'll give as good as he gets, too bad our standard is made of PVC it's not the best weapon.

After you finish you whiskey

All you need to know is we are having a pit fight with standard bearers while the captains watch from a balcony with whiskey and cigars.

I'll be packing for both with my sisters of battle but I'm really hoping that people will be most prepared for 8th as I've been having a lot more fun with that ruleset. 

This is pretty much my hope and why I started this thread, I know some people will pretty much have to stick with 7th but I was curious if 80% of the games will be in 8th and I can reliably stop trying to preserve the portions of my brain that remember 7e rules.

Since I have to plan on how many toys I can fly with I figured I would gauge the waters to see who was thinking of playing 8th this year during the 40k event?

Even if you're playing a narrative game, it's not like power levels make the game more narrative. The only things they do are save a little time and give you less control over the relative strength of the armies involved. If I'm playing a narrative game and want your army to be twice as strong as mine (as some of the narrative missions recommend), using points guarantees that you get the desired ratio. 

This is true, but what I want to get out of Power Level is the ability to pick some random schmoo at the shop say "hey lets play the ambush mission" and throw together some cool armies for that scenario in less than 5 minutes.  It's not about balance (for me) but doing some cool [big bad swear word] on the table, and not having to dick around with figuring out how to fit my tanks and tac squads in there and how many melta bombs can i afford??!!!?? while trying to get in a fun game on my 40k night.
 

Power level is great for Narrative Gaming and I hope to see that take off more for casual pick up games.  I'm tired of every game of 40k feeling like prep for the next tournament.

I'm very happy with the points and matched play as well, but it's been done to death by the community.  I'm hoping the variety can sustain it's self past the first 'oh shiny' mark

man that's a tough choice....

I'll take death.

No wait, CHICKEN!

I love those wraith conversions!

Will there be cake again?

I am so pumped for this edition change, gotta go paint warp talons!

So long as the Captains can watch from some sort of balcony box with Old Fashions and cigars.

Balls, big hairy balls

Can we have a round were we fire a pistol then all dash towards tables and set our own match ups.  Maybe have fights between standard bearers and a drinking contest between captains?

That's the plan, is there a challenge round?  Because I challenge you... to shots and mayhem ... and maybe some 40k

Well I was pretty good until you ripped out my heart and moved across the country with it! Now I don't know anything anymore. Not even the definition of mercenary...

Well you'll just have to start that cross country conquest to get your heart back, it's not very tasty anyways (kinda like sand).

But I just discovered your podcast and am having all sorts of inappropriate reactions listening to you three at work.  

Hi, how are you?
