40k the gathering storm

I would love to see some of the psychic disciplines paired down, especially summoning as it has really affected the game with how much units you can bring in for free. The biggest problem with a lot of the fluff stories, is that there is no stakes, we know no one major is going to die, so why care.Ĩth edition is rumored to pair down the complexity which is a welcome change. A primarch is returning, and maybe we'll see some characters bite the dust, which I really hope happens. The fluff could be better, but to be honest, its a lot better than their past outings (looking at you Mont'ka). Now we have the gathering storm series shaking things up for the coming of 8th edition and I am a fan. Really if Chaos Deamons and Eldar get new codex's that tamp down their power, we will see a lot of variety flourish, as they really are the main power dex's at the moment. Personally I am a fan of formations and detachments when done right, and they have been doing better, not perfect but better. Also detachments have been more balanced as of late, having good benefits but some of the crazy of the early formations and detachments have started to die down. Look at Traitor Legions, Chaos players have been crying for this for ages, and it has come and really rejuvenated chaos armies. They have started to address some of the problems they have created as well. Now these haven't been the best, from Mont'ka to Wrath of magnus, the stories in these have been lacking, but they were attempts and I'll give them that. GW has released fluff story arcs, that have sort of moved the story. But that isn't a bad thing, there are certainly enough power armies that I would much rather see less than more. Not every release has been a home run, and certainly weren't power builds. Things that have been in the fluff for ages have finally seen the table. Think about it, we've had Ad Mech released, Deathwatch, Harlequins, Genestealer cults, Knights etc.

There will always be those that will hate on anything GW does, but I think most of us can take an honest look and appreciate all the good they have done, while still calling them on their crap when its justified.įor me, I think this is one of the best times to be in 40k. With large amounts of Fluff armies finally seeing the table top, and with supplements to help a few armies out, to doing something with the 40k timeline. GW is not a perfect company, but in my opinion they have done a great job of turning things around in the last few years. Today, going to take a break from looking at rules and soak in all the recent changes, both fluff and crunch, and the road ahead.
