Let me preface this post with a statement, "I loved Warhammer 40k!". From the moment Daemortus and Siege brought over their first armies to the moment too many Space Marine rulesets came out, I loved the lore and game. Now that being said, the game had shifted, between 3rd and 5th edition, to a brutal competitive mindset in our meta and it just wasn't fun to play anymore, so I gave away/sold all of my 40k belongings and just walked away.
A measly 2 years later things in life had settled a bit and I got into Warmachine and Hordes. This was at the end of mk1 and beginning playtest for mk2. Here was a game that was played on a smaller scale and was quick. We had all factioned up and began playing/enjoying miniature gaming again. The community at the time here in SGF was amazing. The local Press Ganger was excellent and really fostered a group that could have fun. I became a Press Ganger to help in the area and really had some wonderful times.
That brings us to current times. The Press Gang program has been terminated, Warmachine/Hordes has released mk3 that will be in constant playtesting, comitted to a faction release per year, and 40k has released a streamlined, seemingly playable 8th edition. What do you do? My favorite 40k faction has even more amazing models and playable rules. My favorite WarmaHordes, Warmachine and Hordes, factions have been getting brutally savaged with rules changes and fundamental game mechanic changes. I love playing WarmaHordes. The fiction is great and the game is quick/fun to play.
Can you be both a loyal Son of Russ and a Commander of the Kriels?
