Afternoon, and How Do?
So we're just over a fortnight away from 2015, and it seems fairly safe to say no major releases will be coming in the next couple of weeks (but never say never). So I thought it safe to start a thread about the 40k year.
And hasn't it been a busy one? I've actually lost track of what came out and when, but if I'm right in thinking, it kicked off with Tyranids this year, and of course rounded off by Blood Angels.
Highlight of the 40k year for me has to be Imperial Knights. I love 'em. Old time Epic player (dabbled with Adeptus Titanicus, got going properly with 2nd Edition Space Marine and Titan Legions) so I've secretly hankered after 40k versions for a long time. And now I've finally got them.
Say what you like about their role on the battlefield, because that's not my main interest. My main interest is the kit. It's lovely. A really well turned out piece. I've only recently coughed up for some (doing a Questoris army for Heresy) but loving that kit so much right now.
We've also had 7th Ed hit seemingly out of nowhere (though it was rumoured, I for one didn't believe them), and on top of that...6, maybe 7 Codecies (more? Nids, AM, Knights, Orks, Grey Knight, Space Woofs, Blood Angels, Dark Eldar....blimey, that's 8 by my count?). Busy busy busy. I'm normally one to keep up with the book releases, because I'm a completist, and I've failed quite abjectly this year, missing as I am Grey Knights onwards (End Times for Warhammer is eating my budget!)
So yeah, preamble done, over to you for your thoughts.
