So your Astral/Tiger Claws will be arresting punks for spray painting grafitti then? Or hanging out in bars? Guess they'll be too busy for the table top then.

Why Tiger Claws though? They have never been described as being like the Space Wolves in the Old or the New fluff. Why not do your own original chapter then no-one (ie me) can get upset about it.

Except for the whole "Space Wolves have no successors" part anyway. :D

is it just me or is FW lowering the bar for what they call missions... there is nothing particularly cool about either mission... I liked it better when FW told you what to bring... it just seams a bit more historical when they tell you what was there...

I think FW realised that most customers didnt actually have 2 biotitans and 3 Warhounds or the money to buy them to use in 1 game and figured that it would be easier for people to play the missions if they had the option of choosing their own lists.
E.g. You didnt actually have an Elysian Drop Troop army for the Anphelion missions.

So if they said that you need 5 drop pods, a caestus and 2 achilles could you manage that or would you be proxying/switching stuff out? I know I'd be redoing the list and this is me I'm talking about here. (ok, the 5 pods I could do, but only because I like drop pods).
Plus, any list they give you would just be the one that they made up. The nid lists for Anphelion were awful for the 4th ed. codex they were written for. Next to no Synapse on the table made for a ridiculously difficult game. If you couldn't roll Ld checks of 5 consistently your army vanished on turn 2.
I like the new style a lot more.
