We're off to a rollicking start with this year's HoP idol, that's for sure. But, sadly, the second entry for round 1 wont be up till later today. So in the meantime, it's another Tuesday Discussion.
The big news right now is that Warhammer 40k 6th edition just dropped. Well, actually... the bigger news is that 6th edition seems to be more along the lines of a natural progression from 5th rather than the 'holy shit, what the hell happened' jump that we saw with any of the most recent Fantasy Battle books.

So, lots of good discussion & scientific dissection of the rules are all over the place and most of it's been pretty optimistic. But that doesn't mean that it's been all sunshine and skittles. There are at least a few things that people are having a hard time wrapping their heads around: split FOC charts, purchasable fortifications, flyers and, the dreaded allies matrix. The basic idea is that these things are all weird and discombobulating now but may get better after some playtesting to see how things will shake out. Like I said, cautiously optimistic.
But there is one statistical outlier to this happy scatter plot graph - the fact that the Tyranids get fuck all for allies.
So, today's Menu:1) Feel free to rant about the size of the shaft the Tyranids got.
2) Tell everyone why you think this makes no sense from a fluff perspective.
3) Bonus round: play devil's advocate and defend the decision.
