I played a doubble header of 7e 40k today and despite my recent claims that I was swearing off organized 40k for the time being I have to say that I'm recanting it all here and now. Daddy's back 7e. I missed you. [big bad swear word] you Tactical objectives go chop some wood for the damn stove. Now, where was I? Ah yes, being back.
The problem, you see, turned out to be mostly me. I wanted more from my 3 hour time investment than I was getting but what I failed to see was that the importance you give 40k in your life is determined by much more than just your love for the hobby, a love of playing or winning or even some unknowable combination of the above; It is determined by what you want from 40k.
I wanted the wrong things from 40k. Now I don't. I won't go into it all here, but basically I do think that the game is playable on both a garage and GT level though they obviously require different mentalities. For the old hands this is probably not news but for the new kids on the block it takes a while to suss out the learning curve in this game and while it doesn't hold my #1 game of all time spot I still love me some 40k - enough to play at least twice a week and that says a lot.
Looking forward to playing some 40k with ya'll.
...and some Infinity too - Lord knows I got bit by that bug harder than a half-starved bedbug goin' at a hefty hillock of flesh.
and while we're on skirmish - who's up for a kill team game? - garage or FLGS.
