And the completed model is made up of a bunch of flat surfaces with no actual detail on it. I'm looking at a space marine sprue here and I'd want at least 7 different colors just for an arm that's probably not much larger than the eye on that.

3 colors is the bare minimum, “I’m completely half-assing this army,” standard for tournament play. 4 colors is one entire extra color over that so I have no idea what anyone would complain about.

Holy poo poo, these eel-knights are DOPE! I'm not an AoS player, but if I were I would be hard-pressed to choose between the Idoneth and Nightvault forces. They both have absolutely killer aesthetics. Random game question: I really like Battlefleet: Gothic, but it is long OOP and I think it will probably take GW's Specialist Games department a decent amount of time to circle back to it. What other spaceship fleet battle games do people like and why? I've been tempted by Dropfleet Commander, but since Hawk went tits-up I am leery of buying in. Sell me on a spaceships game, Goons!

Rules are based off of Warmaster because it’s written by Rick Priestly. If you just want a fantasy game with cavalry, Age of Sigmar is probably the most widespread.

That’s real cool and all and I’ll probably look at your painted dudes and think that’s real nice. But holy poo poo I’m never gonna put in that effort. btw I bought the kill team box set because what a value!! a billion bucks of terrain and little men for only $100!! And I totally was happy to see that GW color coded all the little cult boys and robolads, so I could easily mess with them without having to immediately paint all of them. I just wish they’d go a bit further.

I don't know how you can look at a GW sprue vs that anime waifu and think they're in any way comparable, the anime poo poo has absolutely no detail in it at all.

Good clean ruleset, balance allegedly good aside from op dwarves, though you may find the mechanics lacking in charm and character. Or be one of those crazy people trying to make 9th edition Warhammer Fantasy a thing.

I adore black powder but for horsies specifically P&S is better because the rock/paper/scissors interplay of pike blocks, sword/axe/etc infantry and cavalry is so great. Infantry/artillery definitely reigns supreme in BP.

I really liked its movement mechanics, where you have to anticipate how your opponent will move. It also felt pretty balanced, but I admittedly never played in tournaments. The downsides were the way they do releases, the power creep, and the way games can feel the same once you've figured out how to fly a particular squadron

I got into X-Wing HARD when 40k was in the middle of its "let's make all these formations STACK" period of 7th Ed., and I can say that it is a lot more balanced, at the casual level, but once you get into the tournament scene, it's pretty much just as bad as the 40k tournament scene. You'd occasionally see a gimmick list here or there, but it was largely just very slight variations of the same 3-4 lists, usually with 1 of them being some super bullshit broken list (built around soon to be nerfed new releases) and the rest were the same tired lists you'd been playing against for the past several releases. I found that it just got stale pretty quickly. I stayed through most of the 1st Ed. before bailing to 30k. I've heard the 2nd Ed. is a ton of fun, but haven't bothered to try it yet. I hope it's good; I've been a massive Star Wars nut since I was a little kid, and I really want a reason to play again!

I hope it's good; I've been a massive Star Wars nut since I was a little kid, and I really want a reason to play again! My roommate and I got into X-Wing pretty deep, getting at least one of every ship. I would say that X-Wing is a game that gets worse the more stuff you have for it. List building can become pretty tedious as you go through a hundred different upgrade and pilot cards to find the best combo. Then gameplay can crawl to a halt as you need to ask what every ship is capable of doing. I think next time we play it we'll put some restriction on how much you can use. That being said, a small game of X-Wing is brilliant. I've never been frustrated by the hidden maneuvers, only disappointed in my own tactical choice. The dice rolling is pretty quick (unless you've got way too many cards in play), and leads to some pretty cinematic moments. Good game, I would highly recommend getting a handful of ships and shoot lasers at your friends. I haven't played 2nd, and probably never will.

I really, really liked xwing when I played it ultra casually with my friend. However, for some reason I really had no interest in playing it hard. Can't explain why.
