Do not fear however my (sometimes) fellow Pointy Eared Players for there is (very expensive) goodness coming our way too.
a) hmmn, rather...static.
b) huzzah! New eldar stuff!
c) I quite like the new tyrant model. OK, he's another `('#(}`@: space marine, but you cant fault the sculpting.
Just like all eldar are the same pointy eared elfs from fantasy.
I dont follow. Can you explain more?
Until Eldar players outnumber marine players, nothing will be changing. Its sad, but thats the truth.
Until Eldar (or any other species) get more exposure in terms of marketing and new minis, thats never gonna happen. If you spend the vast majority of your time promoting one product (marines) and then most gamers buy em, you cant then say "aha, we make lots of marines cos more people play em." No. Gamers dont play marines cos they're somehow inherently cooler, they play em cos they get them shoved down their throats at every possible opportunity. It's like coca cola. It is not the world's number one soft drink because it has such a great taste.
the armies do play differently given the scope of the game.
Not from where the non-marine players are sitting, which is rather the point. If you play marines, then you can see differences. If you
dont play marines, theyre all the same.
If you dont like marines, you're playing the wrong game.
Which is one of the big reasons I now play Warmachine. Honestly, it took a lot for me to start a whole new game system, investment in time, money etc, but 40k was just getting old. People have complained in the past that my eldar lists didnt change. They didnt change because the only thing they ever had to kill was space marines. Seriously, GW. There has to be a better system than leaving players for 4 years (and counting) before you update their army. (And as y'all know, Eldar aint the worst off army out there.)
4 years? thats a bloody looooong time. Seriously. In 4 years I emigrated, got a new job, built a social circle, met a girl, dated said girl, and got married to said girl. Surely to jeebus a publishing company can update a dozen books in the time it takes me to build an entire life in a foreign country?
To compare: PP released army books for the ENTIRE GAME of Warmachine in 6 months! 1 core rulebook, and 6 faction books. boom, done. Now theyre doing Hordes, and again, this should take 6 months.
1 year, 14 books, including core rules revisions. Can GW not manage this?
