i was making my rounds through a few predominately GW sites looking for the good modeling/painting blogs... and i ran across a thread that led me onto the preview for the new Imperial Guard. now, i hadnt given a rats ass about GW for a while now, but seeing new pictures of this stuff kinda just kicked me in the brain (IG is the army that originally got me into 40k, after all). then i had all sorts of ideas of heavily converting the standard cadians/catachans and using them in StarGrunt or something... and then i thought about planning to buy (or at least torrent) the codex...

i dunno... but i think i am almost kinda a little bit excited about the new IG....


please tell me why i am wrong.... i havent a clue, honestly :(

laters,
Oz

I indulge myself in GW models ... If it's a sin then many of the wastelanders here will burn for it. Ross, on the other hand, will burn for Milla ... :lol:

Righto, John, we have a new volunteer for Tuesdays.... :D

Each to their own I guess. It's not something I'll be jumping at personally but I can understand the attraction (IG's a favorite of mine too, which is the reason SGII attracted me with the 95% human forces). The Catachan command sprue would have been handy many moons ago, but I managed to live without it ;)

As Ross said, each to their own. Warhammer still has a very strong following and I guarantee that you'll be able to get a game wherever you go. So that is where it has the advantage over games such as Stargrunt. The other refreshing thing about 40k is that there is a complete history and well developed character to the game system. You can pick up a conversation with anyone in the world about the 13th Black Crusade, try doing that with any other game system.
As far as game systems go, it is a fun game to play. It's just that I know alot of us have abandoned GW due to their rules being constantly re-released and the character of the game we used to love being depleted. The character is still there, but it's not what I used to love.
I have to admit, when I heard the Catachan were being rereleased I was tempted too. But the game just isn't what I want anymore.

But it's not wrong to still play it. In the end it is still a game. You get your kicks wherever you want :)


*Hope this makes sense... Mildly tipsy posting.*

Me - I like their some of the GW minis. They are a tad over priced though IMO. The plastics are great fodder for conversions for those odd ball characters you cant buy for you wasteland. I have on the table a Dunger Herder and fast food (pie) salesman made from GW Mordenheim warband parts. MAD is a convereted GW dwarf - with a sawn off Heresy Dwarf shotgun.

There is lots of mutant fodder in GW's ranges too.

I cant stand the rules re-hashing, rules lawyering, the snobbish elietism from GW gamers (esp the tourny crowd) and the MASSIVE terrain rip offs they pull. I think a game is a game and if someone has something "custom" thats not in the codex (read money for old rope - most of the lists was in the 40K RT book) they throw a fit. Why cant IG use Rhinos or land raiders like in the old days? Where have all the jet bikes gone for the IG? These are some changes that put me off returning to 40K - that and most of the local players are :wank:

Nothing wrong with being a 40k bod... it just doens't 'do' it for me anymore.... The rules re-hashing puts me off almost more than the figure re-releases. I've also gone off the GW 'I go U go' system and prefer some stuff with randomised initives, etc. Having said all that, I still flick through WD when I see it, and do stick my head into the local GW store when I'm around...

But yes, you'll do for the next milla sacrifice - John, ready the minions :witchdr:

Getting a game easily is very true with GW... Seems any other type of game I take a keen interest in isn't interesting to others. That's why I roam the wastes alone.

see, all of the things you guys are saying is what made me stop the game in the first place. the minis are still okay, if not a bit pricey for being all plastic, but i find them a tad over-detailed. finding nice simple figures has made me see why it takes so long to paint GW stuff: they slam more little bits and bobs onto those things than a friggin swiss army knife :P . i only want the codex because i'm curious as to what happened to one of my favorite armies from the game.

and getting a game is no issue for me for any system. meaning that i am really the only one who plays ANY game in my area, let alone 40k, so whichever system i pick, i'm still stuck playing solitaire :( .

if i got the new IG (really, only the command is new), then by the time i was done with them they wouldnt be anything like IG. i would use them as a base for an army and swap out the weapons and heads, remove any aquilas, and probably modify the arms/chest as much as was feasible.

oh, and
I, thewizardofoz, hereby known as the victim, do state that I enter freely into the holy ceremony known as Blood Sacrifice Tuesday or Human Sacrifice Thursday and will not sue the members of the Church of Milla should the attempt to rebuild my body into a cyborg fail.

Signed "Oz"

:D
