I agree with you in total! I like battlemechs, specially the japanese
one (Gundam, robotech, etc.)
but what I liked in the (old) GW universe was the gothic atmosphere,
this was really original
and really interesting ... now few efforts are profused in developing
decent backgrounds, ok they are doing
good minis IMHO, but just read the old codexes or manuals and make the
confrontation!
