| Orks definitely need the new codex. I feel bad when I tear through them with whatever army I'm currently playing. At least the Dark Eldar are still competitive with their equally ancient codex---which kind of makes me afraid for when they get upgraded.
I've never had a problem with SM/CSM armies saturation, but I understand that's it's different elsewhere. With my group of friends we can field at least a 1500 points for every army except demon hunters. in addition most of us also have small to large contingent of SM chapters. I've got about 750 points of Imperial Fists along with god only knows how many points from my friends blood angels, space wolves, black templar, and dark angels and it can be pretty fun to get some allied SM vs Xenos games going. Although Eldar, Harlequin, Dark Eldar vs. chaos is also pretty bitching.
I'm pretty tired of the nids and necrons at this point, and I'm almost positive my next army is going to be a Night Lords army with a shitload of the old school raptors with the wings and all of my troops with the bitchin' old school Night Lord helmets. That's really what it comes down to...who cares if I play SM/CSM 4 or 5 times in a row as long as each army isn't powergamed to hell, is flavorful, and generally well done.....well I guess therein lies the problem. |
