Captain Mike Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Its due to GW stupid market policy. Have you noticed every codex seems so much more awesome than the last? So Space Marines came out and all the kids are like 'this is the best army ever!'. Then out came Imperial Guard (which i collect more than SM) and all the kids were like... yer know. And in truth, it kind of annoys vet guard players ( i don't claim to be one, I've played them only 3 yrs) cos as soon as a new codex comes out, said kids move on. Cos it looks cooler, and they hype it up. However, it has a positive. For instance, new Wolf codex, and old players come back to them. Same with me and guard, they had been top shelved a while. So there is a positive, but the amount of cries of 'but this list is supposed to pwn all!'. And please note the use of pwn as an outlet of my mild rage on such language.

Ragnar the great Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 no problems with 'darleks' brother nice to see and no problems with new wolfs, except when they tell you how too play... i used my DA army yesterday as i've built one with my spare troops i had (saved money instead of building an ork/eldar one) little did he know I had 1800 pt wolfs sitting under the table. since december in my local group I was the only wolf player and did I get loads of ear bashing (they don't like us but I don't care). with the announcment of the new dex, which I thought was being released in december last year I have concentrated on building my DA army, it allowed me to try differant painting styes, being my wolf army is mainly dry brushed and my da is only wash's (i've found a passion for painting models brings me back to my airfix days), and it has brought me great pleasure. it's bring out the creative part of me that i did not know excisted... ah well don't you love this game. I first played this game (computer) with 'space hulk' on the amiga then it can out on the play station, then with DoW for the PC, and now I play table top great fun. it's a fantastic game as it brings many people who would never have met and developes friendships. its just now every one wants to be a wolf... god i'm still a pup but it seems that some experianced players in my local group are jumping on the band wagon, where as 6 months ago they were happy to play me with their vastly more experiance and beat me as I was a noob. I first became a wolf player because of the ragnar books, ultramarines peeded me of with the way they treated uriel and still chastise him, so what if he was unorthodox... he won simple. I've read the DA books and come on if you were luther would you have felt betrayed??? firstly how could he just dismiss thousands on loyal marines like he did, and secondly, and this is what i think... when Lord Russ found out that he gave away those seige weapons would you not be annoyed with him as they were used for the attack on terra... but anyway time will tell with our dex.

ChainsawDR Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I believe that this may be the Darlek that you refer to Ragnar? I am glad that you have no problem with Darleks as I was about to challenge your DA to a Dual! Remember that a Darlek is the sign of an old wolf rather than a new one. I do not get a chance to get down to the MK store very often (about 4 weeks was my last visit) so I've not seen the new wave of SW players or those "teaching tactics" but I look forward to pitching Wolf army against Wolf army. I found my old SW army in my old dear's attic when I visited at xmas and decided to paint them up and play (you can see on the left when I joined and there was no news of a new dex then) - being old fashioned I didn't want to turn up at a games night without a fully painted army - alas about 2 months ago when I heard about the new dex I came along with a half painted army because I wanted to play with the old dex, at least for a while (soooo excited about the new dex). Let me know if you'd be up for a SW vs SW or SW vs DA match one time and I'll PM you and let you know when my better half lets me go to the store next!
