@rollleafd Well, that's sad: I've fallen off of being active on Mastodon the past couple of months, but this server specifically has been the best social network interaction I've ever had, period.

I totally get it, though!

@aetios @erikcats As context: I played a LOT of 40k from 4th into 6th and although contemporary 40K is explicitly chasing "competitiveness" every time I look at the current ruleset I go

@aetios @erikcats Honestly I don't believe GW is capable of producing a "balanced" game. I do sincerely believe that they might _want_ to, but it's fundamentally not in their DNA.

Since they can't get there: "pursuit of balance" isn't good enough for me.

@erikcats Minatures building, converting, painting miniatures is infinitely more effort than opening a booster pack.

It's hostile to treat miniatures as if they were CCG cards.

@erikcats It's aging armies out, basically the same way WoTC cycles cards.

I converted up a GSC Kill Team; I'll be able to play with it in tournaments the _first_ year of KT24 but after that: not any more.

This is _exactly_ as if you weren't able to bring Reikland Reavers to a Blood Bowl event because they they're no longer legal: better pick a more recent team... or better yet _buy_ one.
