9th Edition Warhammer 40k reaction.

I'm disappointed in the 9th edition of Warhammer 40,000 announcement.

First, I think it's too soon on the heels of the fantastic 8th edition. The constant updates after the Herculean task of releasing all the codexes was phenomenal! It may have been the most balanced game that Games Workshop has ever had.

Second, the 400 current items getting a price hikes sucks. It's already an expensive game and frankly, it's too much. Now I also need to buy another set of rules and likely codexes, annual updates, Chapter Approved, cards, etc.

Third, the new models don't look "grim dark" (except for the Executioner.) The style guide has been thrown away. There are a couple of standout models like Ragnar Blackmane from the Space Wolves army but the generic "locked down" poses of the Primaris marines has made the formerly character filled models very bland.

I feel like quitting and putting my junk on Ebay. I don't know... maybe. Maybe it's just a break.

I can't play anyone. All of the events are canceled. I'm going to have to rebuild at least one army and buy ANOTHER set of books if I do ever play again.

I'm pretty disappointed about the whole thing. I may change my mind when the world gets back to normal and my mood changes, but I'm just burnt out.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid
