A couple of weeks ago, I played in a small Warhammer 40k RTT, then a GT at a nearby FLGS. Between both tournaments (a total of 8 games) I won only 3 matchups. I haven’t played Warhammer 10th edition very well and it shows. In my local game store, many of the players have left because they’ve grown frustrated with 40k and my regular circle of friends in my gaming group has gone from about to 10 down to 2. To be honest, it’s heartbreaking. I thought Pariah Nexus would bring some of them back to the game, but so far, no dice. We had a vibrant community but now it’s hard to get a pickup game locally. There’s usually a monthly RTT nearby that I can go grab some games to scratch that itch but I’m still sad that many of my friends have drifted away. I’m lucky that I enjoy the crafting side of the game and that allows me to stay engaged with the hobby via this blog and my Instagram posts though. That’s a long-winded way to say that I’m not playing as often as I’d like, and I suck at the game.
