I like the new rules, man. they're simpler, quicker, what more do you want? Yes it has big problems, namely, a wapon that used to only have an armor mod of -4, the meltagun, now pretty much automatically kill terminators. (I found that out by accident a week ago, when i tried out my old eldar fire dragon squad. in one turn I dropped four terminators, and that's just because I only hit four terminators!)(posted 9182 days ago)also, the MK II tank from WWI could fire on the move! Any MBT arround can fire on the move! Havent the Mechanicus ever heard of shock obsorbers, and balenced gun placement?
asside from that, GW did answer our calls for a simpler game, and I like it, I don't have to waste my time calculating wargear when I should be killing alien scum. Another point to consider is the Warhamer skirmish game that's coming out soon. third edition opened up a gap for that game to fill. duh, they have to have a reason for people to shell out another 75 bucks for a boxed set. all we're missing now is a large unit game, we've got skirmish comming, 40k, epic, for company sized units, and gothic (oooh, gothic!) whouldnt a regiment sised game be neat? of course it would play like an avalon hill WWII sim, but hey, I love it, personally.
