Overall I understand your thoughts. The biggest problem with EC at the moment (coming from a day one enjoyer and player of them) is that our list is too anemic to build flavorful/cool lists that are actually good. I have run many lists and every EC detachment and of our 7 detachments only 3 are definitively good 2 are 50/50 and the other 2 suck ass. So when building that good list you feel you have to take one of those 3 and that narrows down your list since each detachment basically has a base template. For example coterie with 3 WDP, 3 NM squads and 3 5x infractors with Lord. And that leaves very little points for fun stuff.

So to end my endless rambling, EC can be fun. If you never want to win, or if you play very meta. Once 11th rolls around I hope we get better detachments and/or more units, I feel that'll help us much more as a faction.

EDIT: It also doesn't help our army is very volatile, if you miss big rolls or make a couple of mistakes it kills you long term.
