GW is good, FW is evil. The world has turned on its head.

When was FW declared evil? I am not up to date friend.

It was last night, we must've been late in delivering the memo.

Actually in all honesty they're not evil just massively incompetent when it comes to rules. Not just in terms of releasing models with broken ones but some of the updated rules for 8th edition for older models just plain don't work or are either incredibly overpowered or completely pointless to ever bring for any reason.

The main one that people tend to bring up is the Tau flyer that stops being able to shoot its guns in 8th. Not "isn't as good at shooting" or "can only shoot in certain circumstances" but just can't fire its guns as the rules are written.

This is the FW gospel as it has always been known. The rules not working are part of the experience. You are now forced to sweeping advance.

Can I advance into a competitor's store?

You know that does make me wonder, what are some good budget alternatives (if you aren't collecting the armies Mantic has on offer) for 40K models? Good as in "probably won't get you thrown out of a store"

Yeah it's really not hard to get the community itself to help run events, police the crowd, etc. and you can schedule specific times for Magic play and reserve time for other games. You can foster an environment in your store that does not tolerate gross behavior and reserves space for non-Magic players.


I have so far not seen this. I mean I believe you in that doing those things may be possible but I don't think it is as easy as you make it out to be.

A bunch of people at FW have died recently too- Bligh was the most recent but a car full of their designers crashed a year or two ago which contributed to Infernos delay. Honestly, I can't blame their release schedule at this point.

Turns out FW aren't the evil ones, I am :(

I mean yes their rules were awful years back too, but still.
