I need someone to help remind me why I would like competitive 40K. I've been in a Fantasy mode for a really long time now and it has just made me feel that Fantasy is a much more balanced game and better for competitive games. I love 40k background and story and I really want to play games that are geared towards fluffiness and fun but without any restrictions the armies get out of control.

Restrictions are what make Fantasy an easier game to balance and it makes the game more tactical in my opinion. Rules restrictions like LoS and movement aside my big problem with the lack of restrictions in 40k is army design. You can just exploit lists in 40k unabashedly and even change the whole theme of the army list itself.

I just find too many armies in 40k built outside of the original idea of the army book and I get tired of fighting armies that you would either never see in the 40k universe or would only see them maybe once a millennium. Just give me some help because I've lost faith in the game as a competitive system.
