As long as the game of 40k has existed there has been the discussion of how how balanced the game actually is. Some will argue the game just needs a little nudge in the right direction, while others will say that the game is broken and can barely be considered a competitive game. The game…
Hello All,Given it had been a while since my last competitive event (May if you can believe it) I decided it was high time to play another tournament. So I headed down to our local club to see the state of the game, and to try my hand at the new GT mission rules. I…
