After all I've made a very expensive commitment to forgeworld with a full Elysian army. However since the beginning of 6th edition. Forgeworld (never known for their competent designers) has been truly wreckless in their rules. Units now range from nonsensical to game breakingly powerful - even in casual play. See the thudd gun or their librarian special character for reference. They just don't seen willing to take responsibility for their own rules.</p><p>Add to this their constant dishonesty in the face of direct questioning and I can no longer claim to be a forgeworld advocate. I love my elysians dearly but have come to loath the company. </p>AtrotosFri, 28 Jun 2013 10:04:54 -0000http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2013/06/feast-of-blades-latest-2013.html#comment-944925606<p>I applaud the segregation of forgeworld but as an Elysian player I can't help but wonder whats keeping all these events from allowing me to participate with my actual forgeworld army list?</p><p>This precedent was set some time ago and we as a community seem unwilling to shake it. What are forgeworld army lists bringing to the table that's worse than just 40k approved?

Elysian armies don't work right now and given the complete lack of testing in FWs latest offerings there's no guarantee they will work after the update (I waited years for a D-99 update that was put together in 5 minutes).</p><p>Relevant experience: over 100 games with elysians and airborne ig in 6th. 50+ games of airborne gk. </p>AtrotosThu, 30 May 2013 09:04:21 -0000http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/10/brent-daemons-fliers-and-allies-oh-my.html#comment-696216475<p>Throne of Skulls does this and attendees seem to enjoy it.

GW did a good job with flyer rules, generally speaking.</p><p>The problem is that Necrons ignore all of the limiting factors placed on flyers. They can evade without losing any firepower, they can disembark with virtually no restriction, and nothing happens to the passengers when a plane gets taken down.</p><p>Folks may point to the Vendetta and how undercosted it is but the detta is quickly losing relevance in the current meta. With so many lists eschewing vehicles for a strong foot-scoring presence the only role the Vendetta can play now is strong AA defense. A role that's typically only necessary because of the Nightscythe and other Vendettas.</p><p>Oh and managing three squadrons of 3 Valkyries is virtually impossible just so you know. 9 individual flyers is very different to 3 squadrons.</p>AtrotosTue, 16 Oct 2012 05:35:59 -0000http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/10/40k-editorial-chaos-is-with-us-part-1.html#comment-674709324<p>Alpha Legion got cultists.
