who ever told you that was talking out of there arse.....the new 40k rules where not made with a target audience of 8-10.....thats a pile of crap..how many 8 year olds can understand those rules....?...when i was 8-10 i had no idea of the words...varient,resourceful,ascension,inevitability,immobilised,haphaz zard,persicution,preliminary...etc..etc..i dont know about you....im not thick..i have a degree in physics, but i was not that smart when i was a kid.....40k has a minimum age of 10...if!!!! the kid is smart...do you really think that if the game was aimed at 8 to 10 year olds it would read as it does?.....if so what is the average IQ of children where you come from 140? cos it would have to be.......... most people who play are at least 12....most fall into the 16-35 area... let me assure you...the new 40k was designed by you!...from feedback from letters e-mail and conversations at tournaments and conventions...so if you dont like it....WRITE TO THEM!!!!!!...if you dont make your point known, then thats just tough. People said the old 40k was crap...and that it should be changed..... it was..... people said it had to be able to accomodate more tanks and troops... it can.... it had to be easier for using large numbers of troops and tanks.... it is..... it was to be more like rouge trader ..with a more adult gothic feel.. it is......(posted 9293 days ago)what do you want?........i am neither one way or the other with the rules.....i have not played enough games with all the armies yet.....give it six months ..and i will be ready to make a desicion....but im not just gonna slag it off..cos its not what i wanted....the last 40 was not what i wanted..but when i got used to it it was great. GIVE IT A CHANCE....insted of whinging and whining...play some damn games.......try other armies....GIVE IT A CHANCE!
