 I suppose it was the whole point of the rewrite, but I miss the different
flavors of the various armies. For all the differences there are now we
just as well play only Imperial vs. Imperial. After all that is mostly what
it is now.
 Sure the models are different, and the names are changed between armies,
the only difference is which 'skill' they've tacked on.

 I miss having each army using almost totally different equipment, sure
it lead to occasional hassles but now all we have is the choice between
vanilla and vanilla with only a few colored sprinkles for differences.
