So I have had a few 6th edition games under my belt, and I have to say I am really liking things so far, a lot of new fun things to play around with. The change to fleet hurt me a little bit, but overall the game is so much better, its like a new life has been breathed into it. With mysterious objectives and terrain, the game is getting more interesting, and so far my games have been pretty cinematic.
My first game was myself on a team with my tyranid playing friend, and we were going against 3 non tyranids. It was so cinematic, and the 5 of us just had a blast, it was so much fun to just watch the hive fleet nom face, mwahahahhaha.
Short post, but hey, I just wanted to liven things up.
Sounds like a blast, I have had positive experiences with 6th Edition so far, with a few oddities. I find I need to constantly flip through the book to look something up, but that will pass.
I read your brother got Eldar, good choice.
