Yep, my 2 other most regular players: One did Orks and SQUATS...
        (pissed him off - no interest in the new version)

and the other did Chaos and an Imperial army based on KNIGHTS...
        (Kinda sucks when they take out one of the most recent
         armies added to the game, especially when they aren't even in
        40K, so there's no conflict with anything.)

----> Well the IG lost those in the 40K codex, so I wasn't surprised,
but I
will be intersted to see how the IG infantry come out - lots of
different
types in 40K as far as looks. They lost some of their speedy stuff,
but they have more & better tank options now - it wasn't completely
one-sided.
        Do not like what they did to the orks though. So many infantry
types but NO clan distinctions and too many vehicles sucked up into
"battlewagons" - ouch.

----> Absolutely no problem with the old mini's.We "reluctant
transitioners"
have to stick together. Can I still use my flying brick t-hawks?
