There are tournaments based on the game Warhammer 40k, but they drop rules, make changes, and add rules and or limitations. They're not really playing 40k. Fundamentally 40k is not a level playing field balanced game, so TO's come up with their own rules based on the game 40k to hold competitions. It's not 40k. 40k the game as I read it, has warlord traits, you can purchase a FoR, has mysterious terrain, and allows 2xFOC at 2k. Any thing less isn't 40k. That's fine, and I'm cool with that, but calling them 40k tournaments is inaccurate.<br /><br />I find so many parallels between 40k and WoW. I see the same level of addiction and obsession that maintains the player base. I see the same attempts to make something competitive that is fundamentally flawed and designed NOT to be competitive or balanced. I also see the same "types" of players, casual(fluffy), WAAC(raiders), and competitive(PVPers).<br /><br />just mah $0.02.Doomiconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460579033704454842noreply@blogger.com
