Been playing since 94 and Warhammer seems less tactical, but I'm still having fun with the abilities and combos that weren't available back in the 90's.

The endless rerolls are probably the worst part of nuhammer. I ban them at my table. I don't care if it breaks some armies. There are several people in our play group that refuse to play when it's my turn to host because of that house rule, but tough shit. I also make vehicle facing matter by reintroducing firing arcs for vehicle weapons instead of that nuhammer "all vehicle weapons can fire omnidirectionally" shit they started with 8th.

>Posing them for advantage will have you kicked out of the LGS Oldhammer player here and I have absolutely zero problems with this. I lived through unironically crawling wraithlords, lascannon teams on top of light poles, people modeling walls on their infantry bases to claim cover saves, and a wood elf green dragon with removable neck extensions so it's head could be adjacent to your deployment zone so it can place a flame template turn 1 but you have to draw los to its base.Fuck those people who modeled for advantage and ruined modeling and kitbashing for the rest of us. We shouldn't stop at banning them from the LGS. They should be strung up, every one of them.

>Putting 5e in the same category as 4e and older editions >Acting like ANY of the 40k editions was actually good NGMI

In correct RT and 2E should be their own category. 3rd-5e should be a catagory.

5th is trash. 4th is by far the most decent version of 40k.

The only real difference is that now GW is jerking them off on the tabletop AND the lore now.

I'm sorry whatever NPC faction you chose doesn't have defend Big Protagonist Energy anon, but that's not Imperiumchads' fault. Brush that chip off your shoulder and try to have fun playing the role you chose knowingly or otherwise: fodder for Imperium armies' background fluff.

>Both sides have a reinforced platoon in 28mm scale on a well sized 6x4 board This one fucking hurts. I cringe when I hear DG players say how they are slow and such. Doesn't matter that much anymore when the board is much smaller and game is in 32mm scale. Which is why the area feels so tiny nowadays.

They did this shit to WHFB/TOW too.Don't want to bother protecting your flanks from fast-cavalry and skirmishers? That's cool, just pass a leadership check to get out of being marchblocked. Want to invest half your points into a timmylord on a dragon? That's cool, we'll nerf cannons down to 1D3 wounds so you don't get get shot down while closing in with your targets.

Oldhammer gameplay >Play on empty board with no terrain or scenery because it ruins the game >Square bases are retarded >Wheeling is retarded >Difficult terrain is retarded >Combat resolution is gay - oh I killed 4 guys and you killed seven, let's add up random numbers now - oh my guys run away now - oh that unit gets picked up for not running away fast enough

I always find it funny that /pol/fags always put The Symposium by Plato on their TRAD PATRICIAN literature when it's largely a socratic dialogue about the political and moral advantages found in twink loving.

I dont think they adjedted points to match the shrinking of a battle field. 2000 pt armies dont belong on a 4x4 table , they belong on a 4x8 or whatever 2nd or 3rd was played with

I really fucking despise the removal of armor facing the simplified 40k rules did. Command point bs is also pure cancer

Picrel without the flailing pseudointellectualism on the left side of the image and the mind-numbing lack of self-awareness of the description of 6th and 7th is just what 40k unironically is. How do you people have so much energy to purely commit to being wrong, when you know enough to just choose to be right instead.

People who hate wargames now run GW and have been doing everything in their power to remove everything fun on a systematic basis to sloppify it into something closer to a MOBA, where hero units are all that matter and everything else is just minions you push towards objectives.

Fake grog. >Mind your positioning so you can hit tanks in their side, or even rear armor >Be wary of infantry, even a tactical squad can have a lascannon destroy your strongest tank Nobody liked this shit, who wants their 300 point superheavy to get destroyed by a single lascannon? Vehicles are better now than ever before in 40k gameplay history. Now you don't have to gamble on them getting randomly hulled by some random idiot with a meltagun, your opponent has to actually bring a variety of anti-armor weapons to deal with your tanks. Thank fuck for that. Tanks are pretty much the best part of 40k anyways. >Make sure to manage your morale or else your force will break and lose cohesion Old morale was a massive pile of pure ass. Who the fuck wants their units to ignore your commands, shoot at their own side, or erase themselves from the board by missing one (1) dice roll? Morale shouldn't even exist in a setting like 40k, even the most pathetic humans are insane psychopathic dogmatic pawns who can't even conceive of the idea of running away or panicking under fire. >Your units are exceptionally customizable Less than 1% of players ever built a mini in a way that deviated from what you get in the box. Who gives a shit about customization? GW removing it from as many kits as possible can only be a good thing for the game's long-term health. >REROLL REROLL REROLL Rerolls make factions that should actually be strong on the board, like Space Marines, feel actually strong. Oath of Moment is probably the best rule ever conceived, you really actually feel like a Chapter Master pointing at a target and ordering his men to remove it from existence, and then they actually do. No dice screwups are gonna get in the way of actually fulfilling that power fantasy. >Play on the same map, forever If you want an actually balanced wargame, boards and layouts MUST be standardized, there's just no other way around it. Anyone who argues otherwise unironically is just stupid.
