Sorry yeah, I meant all new models that are released since then. The also recast a certain selection of older models in resin but not all, you're right. The specialist games stuff are also still in metal for example. | ||

It's a fairly decent list, most IG lists will probably eat you alive though. Tyranid armies with less than 50 models offend me. Take IRON ARM!!! waddafack, it ups your HT's survival by a crapton, with the life Leech even more so. Psychic scream pretty meh. I ask about psychic powers in my op  iron arm isn't listed in the codex yet is obviously the best so that is why I ask .. But you can't "take" iron Arm in 6th edition you roll dice for it and 5 others. I'm guessing you don't play 6th edition? | ||

I've basically switched fully to Warmahordes and the new Battletech, GW is just going full stupid and as much as I absolutely love the universe it's gotten to the point where I can't take it anymore. | ||

Yeah, but MC never survived much, nidzilla worked way back on 4th and before 5th edition codex because of how cost efficient they were so you had shit tons of shooty MC's, but MC withouth invulnerable are shit, and even more shit if they have to get into close combat. Fifth you already had armies that could put enough firepower to kill 2/3 per turn easilly (even more, lol Space Wolves or shooty vanilla with mech armies) and nowadays you can even torrent fire them with all the crazy ass long range firepower with special rules or just too cost efficient to pass on. the only MC's that work are shooty ones with invulnerable of some sort and 2+ armor save so you can't just torrent them into oblivion(so you can guess that one is the Riptide, and only it right now). You should try infinity too, it fucking rocks. | ||

Am I missing anything or are the bigger units of them just really good? | ||

Atleast they don't die on droves like they used to do with multicharges and stuff like that. Anyways the best thing about it are probably the looters, because they put a lot of torrent Strenght 7 shooting, they are easy to rally off the table if you have a decent army, but they can give you some headaches. Right now with the current meta they are quite a bad army, i would say only above sisters and tyranids, but miles below Tau, Eldar or SM (specially bikers with grav rifles and the legomarines with grav too ) | ||

They can deal with crappy close combat units and other stuff just by sheer numbers, but still, close combat is quite unreliable to get into in this edition once your opponent understand how to force you to assault through cover.

Shouldn't the company do something about the orkz when they are so obviously underpowered? 0.o | ||

And Tau kicks Ultramars ass. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/postmessage.php?quote=36&topic_id=431940 Well GW is constantly fucking with the rules and is making new codicies OP (at least the case around 08 09 10 imo) so yeah not really about balance. Although the randomness of the dices kind of balances it out. | ||

Do you know the biggest reason why I want to see those pictures? Incontrol always looks big when he's in a room with others, but with an army of little dudes under him he will look like a fucking GIANT. It's like NASL with Gretorp all over again! | ||

Just a random guess tho, i dont know how big the competitive scene is. At some point (5th) it was a decent game to play for the competion, every army could give a run for your money they just were harder/easier to play. After the grey knight codex (which imho was the worst piece of crap ever released on wh40k) the list building possibilities were cut by half for other armies, or rendered useless (see elda, nids, DE or demons) wgich is really vad to the deepness of the game when it came to take all comers and tournament. After that, they are doing what you say, they are a ninuature company and the rules just exist so you can get them off the shelves from time to timw. Luckily for wargamers there still plenty of products out there with good mechanichs and communicative game designera. | ||
