Default Re: Anyone want to fill me up on what I'm missing?

Your words hold truth, but since when has GW cared about their lesser known fans? Or given them fanservice for that matter?

The Legions are gone, reconstituted into apocalypse PDFs and given the same attention as Imperial guard codexes.

Even if they did, expect to see that Dex' in 3~5 years when NO ONE CARES.

I'm very disappointed with new codexes, sure they are streamlined for easier play, but where is the variety? Codex Chaos marines for example, your choices are:

-A lash prince x2 or Lords with blissgivers

-Mass thousand son spam

And maybe some khorne cult marines.

Several armies were invalidated and nerfed horribly, unnecesarily, raped of their variety that made them appealing.

And I'm even more mad that I've seen glimpses and rumors of the new SM codex, which took variety and replaced it with minimal creativity. (Rumors can at this point can be considered fact, has it been wrong?)

All in all, they are bartering for playability and rules so simple strategy is at a loss in order to forgoe anything deemed creative and slightly abusable.
