Also remember, I have only played with the basic rules, not the full version.

I know much more than you may believe about the new rules and upcoming releases. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the new set of rules.

Silly models is not what I was talking about. Skinnies are broken and tactically sound, a great combination.

LOLS :D Totally never saw that :D

Also, units now react, not just models. That's about all I can let out. :wink:

I didn't look at the new Arachnid rules, but I thought I heard someone mention they no longer had Alarm Screech.

Sorry about the Biased. There was another option up there that was removed, and I accidently left out the other option I was planning on putting up there.

The quality of Skinnies also depends on the quality of the players. We had a guy down where I play that had his 1500 of Skinnies wiped out on turn 2.

It all balances out. Even though the MI can easily upgrade and are a strong defensive, shooting army, the bugs can tunnel, shoot a plasma, tunnel moving tanks under the MI, have many more psycic abilities, and usually always outnumber the MI. Unless you play LAMI, you are almost always...

I hope most of you will be pleasantly surprised. They fixed a lot of the "iffy" rules and clarified some others. I only played the basic rules, but they still seem great and will make the game much better.

I think small changes in an army would look good, as long as one sticks to the overall paint scheme. For example, the Black Crosses look different because they fought at X-battle doing X-thing, thus getting their "special" name and scheme. Things like slash marks on a squad for their name or...

At my local store, most of us play MI. MI v. MI can be fine, its when you have LAMI v LAMI or Exos v Exos that the game gets long and difficult.

While some may say differently, I prefer to use my Pathfinders defensively. One really can't field enough of them to go straight offense and it be sucessful. Bouncing around in a defensive manner is also a great tactic (i.e. jump and shoot, but not too close to the enemy). Hope this helps and...

I was there... It was great... I played Alex and got absolutely roasted... You guys shoulda made it... But I know it wasn't possibly for most of you and I sincerely feel for you. I'm just ball-bustin'. Hope you guys can make it up to MA sometime for a game. :wink:
