This is what makes 10th exhausting to me

My first real 2000 point army was Admech which I took to the LVO in 2023. I had a great time and enjoyed playing the army. I still have kits to build and was thoroughly enthusiastic about continuing to expand the force. I even considered getting the stilt dude as he was so goofy it was a perfect model for the force.

 

Then 10th happened and my whole army got changed. I know this isn’t a unique thing and many people have gone through this. I just feel the strange unit locked abilities, coupled with forced army interaction rules like being next to skitarri for bonuses, etc. makes 10th feel so much more like a board game merged with a card game than a table top battle game.

 

To get up to speed for this edition I would have had to increase the number of battle line troops, add other models to units, etc.

 

Personally the idea of a vanguard with a sniper rifle just bothers me. Thanks box-locked units from 10th!

 

Now we have more new models and I must say I like them. I want to buy them and I want to collect them, so I will.
 

The point of this post though is not to lament the personal problems I have with 10th edition, but more a shout out to the community with how to get past some of my issues with the rules and back to loving playing with my toy soldiers with my buddies and rolling dice?

 

And be clear the joy of rolling dice is still there. I just played about a week ago. Had a wonderful game. The thing is, I used a different army and the slog of “updating“ my Admech feels daunting.

 

For the Omnissiah!
