Been on one for about a year just repainting some pieces and tweaking my units. Was tired of getting my butt kicked repeatedly with having no chance against alot of the newer factions. But but with the new rules and codex I am hoping they will finally be able to compete again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-10738709507886503512012-06-17T09:53:23.923-07:002012-06-17T09:53:23.923-07:00There were a few (not many) interesting wrinkles i...There were a few (not many) interesting wrinkles in the previous Dark Angel codex. The problem came about when most of the unique features were also added into the core codex. Took away their originality. I hope that if they are in the new starter set the two forces are on different sprues. I also play orks and would gladly buy the Black Reach Ork sprues if available as filler for green tide forces and the only way to get deff koptas. Very short sighted on those sprues. Give me three distinct sprue: force 1, force 2, and scenery. I bet a lot of people would buy the crashed aircraft and assorted pieces from fourth edition -- especially new players. Great piece of scenery to build missions and/or scenarios around that is lost to new players. Hopefully the paintset sprue is a hint of what is to come. A lot of development work goes into a sprue. It is a shame that some are so short lived when they could be around for some time.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597578551916103046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-14508998529633706852012-06-16T20:40:55.691-07:002012-06-16T20:40:55.691-07:00Huh, hoping they don't really mess up the DA.....Huh, hoping they don't really mess up the DA...

It strikes me like everything else GW does now to hype up the "next big thing"...a lotta blow, not a lotta show. If these are considered precursors for the new boxed 40K sets, maybe I'll grab those ABR sets before they disappear...There had better be something absolutely spectacular in that box to justify $100+ USD for mini rules and figures...stompahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557965062283690122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-23375210535343666042012-06-16T15:40:19.994-07:002012-06-16T15:40:19.994-07:00Dang.

I was amazed at the high price of White Dwarf for what is essentially a catalog. However if they publish errata and updates in it, that changes it (slightly) and doesn't make me think it's a complete rip off, just a partial one :)Tom B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14493872268274830748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-82732018249569331852012-06-16T12:13:43.764-07:002012-06-16T12:13:43.764-07:00Don't you mean "The Sprue that IS in the ...Don't you mean "The Sprue that IS in the 40k Starter Paint set"?
