Subject: RE: Support Weapons (was Re: [Epic] S=
quat 40K List)
hmm. I like all the extra "flavor" for these units.
One of=
the things i really like about e40k is that all the races different
weapon=
s are now closely related, no more of the SM/TL stuff of _every_
weapon hav=
ing a different to hit/save mod/"special effect". Now a AT shot
for marines=
acts the same as a AT shot for eldar. F.P. from a Ork is the
same as F.P. =
from the Bugs. This is the good type of simplification that
occurred in e40=
k, along with the best set of combat rules to come from the
GW staff yet.(s=
till room for improvement, though)
where this "make it simple" design theo=
ry ran amok was with the army
lists, and with the conversion of SM/TL units=
into e40k terms
I thought i hated the old army cards, but now i almost =
miss them.
they gave a better balance,or "fluffy" feel to them. With e40k i=
see a lot
more Min/Max Munchkin crap like a 20 stand Termie + 10 L.R. SM "=
army"
e40k got SO simple that Squats and Knights went "poof" and the Ork C=
lans
and vehicle list are but a pale shadow of what had made the Orks, "Ork=
y"
and the loss of many Titan weapons and upgrades just sucks. The eldar go=
t
simple by changing the look of almost every vehicle they had
(I like the =
"cheese wedge" and "steam iron" look of the old minis)
This is what has hu=
rt e40k- old players felt like their favorite army
was screwed, and would n=
ot play the new game, period.
Now having these E41k army list changes give=
s me the best chance of having
old SM players give the new rules a try.
I =
really hope that the promised expansion set will have a note saying,
"enclo=

I truely would like to thank all inv=
olved with the E41k- Its the best Hope
for this epic system
