In a Holding Pattern Waiting for 6th Edition........


I really feel like my 40K hobbying is in a holding pattern waiting for the next edition.  As we all know by now 6th edition is coming most likely in July.  We all also seem to understand that there will be radical changes to the game.  I just can't get myself excited about starting or finishing any projects until after the next edition.  I really want to play something other than marines.  I sold off my Storm Lord army along with the Deathwing part.  I guess I am just sick of playing 3+ armor guys.  All I have left is my Grey Knights and I know how popular they are right now.  I would really like to start a Necron army but just don't want to invest and time or money till I see how the new rules shake out.  I also admit I am tempted by the idea of a new chaos dex but that is probably a ways out and I would be back to power armor.  I am actually looking forward to the new edition as I feel 40K could use a good shake up.  How will the new edition be we shall see.  I know people are running around screaming but I want to see the whole thing before I pass judgement.  Anyone else having that blah feeling waiting for the lame duck edition to pass?

Yep! Fortunately for me, the release of 6th Edition comes just slightly after the final submission date for my Honours dissertation, so I have something to occupy myself until then (and also Malifaux if I ever have time for gaming).

I am in the patiently waiting stage. I am hosting and Apoc event in 2 weeks that will be the last big 5th Edition thing I do. No tourney's are on my radar. Some of the rumors look ok. Some not so much. I too am looking at starting a Necron army I am just waiting to finish some other things before the money starts head that way.

Yea I an kind of the same way right now. I really want to start building a Blood Angels army but don't really know what will be competative with the new edition. So I will wait until then I guess.

My blah feeling is turning to heightened anticipation. Just can't get into a game I know is getting overhauled in a month. I am suffering from withdrawals. I need a return to the carnage.

If it hits on on July the 7th i will be buying it and then going on vacation for week to the beach. How nice will that be. Fun, sun and 40k. Cant wait.
