I had a great time. It was my second ever tournament and first time I was able to complete a tournament. Me and Torg did way better than I expected. Despite getting a nasty cold, it was worth it to meet so many nice people.
Welcome to the "character can no longer use transport because of keyword omission" club. It is irritating as heck that Adrax can no longer ride in impulsors.
There is an appeal to playing a subfaction's "hero" on the table, but they seem to feel the need for heroes to be extra powerful instead of just flavor.
I wonder if the place that coats telescopes and stuff with 99.99% light absorbant carbon nantoube would do minis. Although I don't know how it would react with applying paint over it.
The previewed battleforce boxes look tempting. Especially interested in the Blood Angel one, because I could use all of the contents (except the upgrade sprues).
All the xenos and chaos ones look good, too.
The new boxes have stuff i am interested in, but not interested in paying a tax for upgrade sprues I won't use. GW probably will never release another Marine box set that doesn't have upgrade sprues to inflate price.
I didn't realize my list is treading close to flavor-of-the-month meta stuff. Instead I will bring old marines with only a few primaris. Not going to be "that guy"
