Gorths relationship with GW:
Started playing Epic Space marine in the early nineties (thats how I got into GW).
Had a 20.000 point Ork army (yes, thats a *lot* of miniatures, they were much cheaper then)...
Then I started collecting an undead army. They didn't have an "army book" of their own yet at the time, I just loved the old undead miniatures, collected and painted them. Later when they got their own book, I started raising (yes, bad pun) new regiments for my Lich to conquer the old world...
Eventually, I was badgered into trying WH40k and collected a humongous Imperial Guard army. Never got around to paint it though and never really liked the game system (second edition) which completely overpowered characters, psykers and some races (Eldar).
From there, it took a turn downhill...
First they completely ruined Epic Space marine by creating a "console version" of the game. Completely dumbed down, bland and boring. Lost interest in it completely.
Then they ruined the undeads, splitting up the existing army in two distinct types, not allowing me to reuse much of my hard paint work, as most models were suddenly disallowed
The lid was nailed on the coffin when they did the same to WH40k, completely dumbed down the game rules...
Rogue trader... where art thou ?
Well, the only thing I've been playing sporadically since then is a bit of Necromunda (house Cawdor) and a new WHFB Dark Elf army I'm busy doing character conversion jobs on...
