Sick of power armour




Damn Im sick of it. And my Blood Angels kinda know this, I think. Yesterday I went to a small tournament and received a beating I´ve never had before. I experimented with some stuff in order to get away from vehicles for everyone is planning on de-meching your whole army by turn 3 and what shall I say, it didn´t work out too well. Although I did quite well at the last two tournaments, I realized that I need to field something different, especially yesterday. Don´t get me wrong, I still love marines, but Im just fed up with playing them and I think it is time to play something completely different from that...

Necrons
I like them, got an army, but I think Im just not good enough to win a whole tournament with them, they are fun to field and give your opponent something unexpected to deal with for no one plays them anymore.Anyway, I think no current competetive Necron army could stand an imperial Leafblower or a Razorangels/wolves spam commanded by a skilled player...and by the way, 3+ power armour....

Eldar
Very classy, I got a Saim Hann army too, but I don´t feel like playing a skimmer-themed army with a council, for I got very few models on the table to work with and...no, just don´t feel like it.

Nids
I love the codex, I love the models but a teammate of mine is already playing them and I think, Ill leave them to him, for he does better with them than I would ever, and I think,Ill take the opportunity and start *tadam* with Dark Eldar.

So, why ? First, shiny new codex. Lots of unexplored possibilities and the chance of switiching my perspective of wargaming and creating cheesy tactics and mechanisms within the army.Second, awesome new models, enough said. And last but not least, it is something I´ve never played before and Im curious how they ´d play.

So, enough rambling today, take care
