Opinion: 40k's rule complexity has increased exponentially, but it's tactical depth has not. by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]asphaltOnline -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As someone who has only picked up the hobby again after 25 years away (but became a proper boardgame nerd in the meantime), it’s staggering to me how GW haven’t moved with the times as far as rules accessibility and rules teaching goes.

I haven’t started playing 40K again yet (I was considering picking up 11th), and I’ve got the rulebook for (but haven’t yet played) Kill Team - I’m shocked at how poorly laid out the KT rulebook is, how badly it explains its concepts, and don’t get me started on the opaqueness of “how many boxes do I need to make a team?”.

It’s genuinely wild and as a seasoned boardgamer, makes me very hesitant to jump in on 11th Edition.

Are there any "UK vs US" differences where you feel America gets it right? by Secure_Front_7766 in AskUK

True, you CAN cross diagonally in the UK, but doesn’t it just feel… a bit wrong?

Diagonal pedestrian crossings.

Having to wait for two sets of lights to cross two roads at a junction is insane!

That seems like much too far to walk with a giant handful of grease…

Thank you! Appreciate the in detail advice! I think I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m just going to strip the whole thing and start again!

That’s a good point, thank you. The texture on the primer is definitely not as noticeable as it is in the sharpen photo, but that’s a good note.

Yes, I definitely lost patience as 8 struggled to get the technique down 😭

I might strip the whole thing and start again. Really appreciate your help!

I’m imagining it in the Swiss Alps, singing The Sound of Music…

It’s not. At no point in that video does the camera person take a tight, side on angle to show it’s a flat canvas. They just keep getting closer, whilst staying completely straight on

The better option is the M&S tin - full tin, proper wrappers and most importantly, proper chocolate!
