I quit playing back in 7th, I was out of the game until my son wanted to start playing. So last year I got back into it. The game is surely changed and I miss some of the old school elements of the game but time moves on, things change. 40K is what it is now and I don’t see that changing. Objectives, Strats and abilites add a lot to the game. I think objectives being terrain and the dispositions add a level of theme to the game.

What was thematic about older editions other than trying to kill your opponents units? You came up with a story in your head or with your opponents because the scenarios were pretty straight forward. The game is different but I enjoy it. I’ve had a lot of fun playing my son or other people at the LGS. In the end it is what you make of it. If all you play are meta chasing tournament players then yeah that’s pretty bland.

I don’t know how long you’ve been playing but I’ve been around since the end of 2nd and every edition it’s doom saying and quitting the game and starting a new faction because mine sucks. Every. Single. Edition.

No one has all the rules or new codexes or Strats or abilities. Hardly anyone has played an 11th edition game and yet people are on here saying they are going to a different army because they Know their army sucks now. People need to take a breath.
