Man thats tragic, one of the best kits in years, and it could end up under produced and out of stock for months. Way to kill the hype, every time, with poor stock issues.

A kit worthy of starting an army over. Looks amazing.

Looks like he's going to be big.

"Tune in next Saturday kids!"

Every step closer to AoS is a mistake, 10th was a big step, and 11th doesn't seem to be fixing it.

Yeah they seem to want to hold onto them, while they understand that they are the problem with the game and continue to limit them further.

They are not (or have not been) equivalent however. Flamers were pretty bad/niche for a real real real long time, while Plasma/Melta, was not. If we got rid of a lot of the bloat, could a Bolt Pistol be assigned a value that makes sense in relation to other weapons? Absolutely, through some combination of lethality, and platform (aka Model/Unit) survivability. Problem is, they introduced Strats which then throws balance out the window! This is not some impossible task, its only made so by the constant shifting of goal posts, the fact they do not design an edition completely, they do not have any guiding design principles that are applicable, and they have to get started on the next reboot of the rules because the 3 year cycle must be fed. I quite honestly cannot think of a worse designed game, than AoS on release, and 40K now.

I'm ok with that. Everyone with sense mocked AoS for how it was designed. No restrictions, no points. They have just been slowly moving 40K that direction, and its still trash tier design and always will be.

"I enjoy not having to think about it." is not great design. Thats honestly pretty sad.

Yeah totally, compared to literally free upgrades across the board...because THAT makes sense??

Sorry, those are all FA, you get 3 as God intended.

Restrictions are not a stick. Restriction breeds creativity. Change Detachments to FoC, drop Strats, and give us back points, the game is instantly improved. They wont, I get that, and 40K the game is dead to me at this point, but thats how they would start to make the game worth investing in again instead of a live beta that they can never actually balance.

Yep, going back to a system with restrictions that just make sense for the game. Strats, Detachments, no Force Org, no Points System. "Gosh I wonder why its hard to balance....."

You've just spent 3 years beta testing a game, you tell me why.

LOL, no. More like "...finally forced to go back to 5th, or an open rule set based on it as an evergreen edition." That said, 40K players are weird. Yearning to pay through the nose for subpar rules with resets every 3 years, and willing to pay outrages rates for plastic. GW has it real good.
