I take your point about Battleshock - I'll have to start thinking of it as a cumulative fatigue/morale depletion, rather than an instant crumble/instability (8th Ed mindset :-)Stylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706888762838294158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478409880372473832.post-72943452672059694362015-07-23T06:46:48.975+01:002015-07-23T06:46:48.975+01:00Nice report - reads like a very fun game and it wa...Nice report - reads like a very fun game and it was good to see that sportsmanship was displayed in the deploying of a unit of 5 chosen rather than the RAW allowed infinite. I actually like the battleshock test - I feel that it gives a decent feel of units melting under pressure without the previous editions pass and nothing, fail and you are often effectively out of the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478409880372473832.post-84426565688302239012015-07-14T11:58:22.941+01:002015-07-14T11:58:22.941+01:00Yeah, I'm already looking at the new stuff and...Yeah, I'm already looking at the new stuff and trying not to slaver. <br /><br />Funny, though - most of my Chaos army was bought over the last three years. Okay, I skimped and padded it out with cheap vikings, but I did buy a reasonable amount fresh. Made no difference though! <br /><br />Personally, I'm glad that I'm officially some species of Oldhammerer now. I always felt like I thought like those guys with their 'love the game not the merchants' mentality, but felt like they looked down on me for playing the modern version.

That'...Thanks Ken, glad you enjoyed the report.<br /><br />That's a fair comment about a flaw in the WFB sales model: long years of collecting has resulted in some considerable armies and a big leadpile. With all that, it's harder to justify buying the latest release from a different army when you know it's going to need at least a few additional regiments, character packs (and the army book!) to have a half-decent game. Conversely Age of Sigmar has inspired me to buy a box of random models I like and just get painting.<br /><br />And in fairness to the other authors of this blog, they at least do buy new models - I'm probably the worst culprit for hoarding old lead. :-)Stylushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706888762838294158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478409880372473832.post-77083153871191137812015-07-14T01:11:54.928+01:002015-07-14T01:11:54.928+01:00Nice report.

How can GW support a game if people never buy new models?Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662292432344589974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478409880372473832.post-35182916601210728942015-07-12T12:36:40.334+01:002015-07-12T12:36:40.334+01:00I only just realised - no Animosity!
