    Smile New Escalation Supplement

    Looks like the new escalation supplement is not what it's cracked up to be.

    It looks pretty awful, but honestly, just saying "no D weapons in your loadout" really returns the fun to the game. no one's toys get banned, and no one auto wins for having more disposable income.

    Can those things come with non-D weapons?

    I assume so. The imperial titans have a number of solid guns that aren't D to choose from. we ran a warhound with double str7 ap3 apoc flamers.

    Yeah, Reece sums it up pretty good. It's bull**** and not going to be allowed around here.

    Need to think this one out a little more. It ends screamer star but the D weapons are strong, now we have fortifications with D weapons also. Before we start making broad sweeping changes we need to play test these options.

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."

    Hahaha that would still be a no. D weapons do not belong in 40k period. Nobody around here plays screamerstar or Jetstar so that's not an issue. If this new book has options for non-D weapons, then we can talk.

    sigh. I am just saying wait and read it and think it out before we start banning things left and right. Let them play test some and see how bad it is first.

    Don't jump the gun too fast.

    This right here. Those guys at Frontline recorded that report with an agenda, and it showed. I'd like to see the matchup against a hard counter.
