Lol in 2020 i would be grateful for being that guy.

Don't want to be accused of politics, so all I'll say is that my favourite quip has been "So which page of the Book of Revelations are we going get today?"

(it's even a 19th year for locusts!)

I do like the necrons. I may also get a new force.
That is a nice model although I don't particularly like scenic elements moving with the model. That guy will be having the flesh ton off him for the entire game!

+1 great for diorama but sorta unnecessary for a gaming peice. There's definitely a sweetspot somewhere between that and a chess pawn.

I agree Scatterbrains... the trick is finding it. Quite a challenge.

Ooh I like this.

Yeah me too. Love the idea behind it, and also love the non-cheesecake element (no stupid boobplate, etc.). Not sold on the wyvern thingy, but a little converting can solve that issue!

Well it's not metal so easy to not add it, only thing I don't like is the £20 price tag  lol

Swap the Marines for some Copplestone gang guys, enclose the driver a bit and this vehicle might just work for Gaslands.  Tad more expensive than your normal Hotwheels build though.   lol

And about four times the size.

It's $35, so £1=$1.75, :o instead ~$25 and this excludes State Sales Taxes...

I'd like to think it would've been £10-£15 had it been metal, as it's not cheap to produce characters in plastic, but it's GW, so anything goes and people will still buy it and rave about!

GW even has unofficial "official" forums for AoS...

It seems like people are really, really liking the 9th ed rules?

I don't know what the average sentiment is on this board, but when the subject is mentioned by wargamers in other locations online, the comments seems to be overwhelmingly positive. The phrase "this is the best set of rules GW has ever published for 40k" is not uncommon.

I have not played in quite a few years but the 40K players who occasionally game with my group seem to like some of the changes.   Maybe I'll blow the dust off my IG boxes and give it a try whenever our groups get together again.

One moan I heard was a new painted army bonus that in essence will require you to paint all of your forces to be competitive.  If true, it is an interesting way to discourage primer armies while promoting the contrast paint method.

I saw some moaning about that - Personally I think it's a great rule - If you're at a tournament you haven't just dropped in, you planned to go, so you had time to paint your minis. If it's a rule that gets enforced in bigger events it may kill grey horde tournament lists once and for all.

I thought most big tournaments required painted forces anyway, so this would probably only effect  local gaming.  I'm not bothered by it as diverse painted armies with colorful terrain filled table were what made it fun for me (and why I drifted off into historical gaming).
