Anyway I hope that whoever reads this is well and doing ok after the historical pandemic we have just/are currently living through. Our apologies for not contributing to the Games Workshop universe in any way over the last couple of years but a lot has happened - just not much in the way of Warhammer!
I (James) have just been working solidly. I am a teacher in a special school so we have been in full time all the way through but just much busier as the extra Covid responsibilities and risks have increased our workload.
Steve has also been working solidly in his school as he has had to be bringing the school up to date tech wise for online learning and working from home.
Dave has been involved in his own engineering career and has been doing lots of GW stuff but has focused on his own projects and Instagram page (@dave_the_dr) and getting involved in the community as he lives in Nottingham and we haven't been active at all!
Rich has been an international jetsetter! He now lives and works in Jordan and has a new family home in Orkney!!! This has obviously impacted his hobby time!
Anyway so here we are and I thought I'd try to write down some updates as to what we're up to as and when, to both keep me interested in the hobby and also to hopefully provide some interesting content to read for others. It's been such a long time since I was involved with 40k I thought it might be interesting to share a little of my journey back into it over the coming months.
I have to say that it's a scary prospect to reintegrate back into 40k as things have changed so much since I last played and it's a quite intimidating prospect to get updated and get back into the game. I wonder if many people feel this way and if GW lose any custom because it's a difficult game to get back into once you're out?
There's no doubt that the volume and speed of releases are incredible but just how alienating is it to those, like me, who haven't properly played since 5th, 6th or 7th edition? I did get the 8th rulebook but only played a couple of games. On the plus side I have been playing Necromunda with Steve which is absolutely brilliant and I'll also be bringing our progress on that side of things too.
If anyone wants to chip in and help or offer their experiences please comment below and I'll gladly bet a conversation going.
I look forward to posting again soon,
Adios!

Glad to see you back! I'm just about to get back into 9th with a new army I've had painted. I am definitely feeling it's hard to keep up, and the motivation to get back into 40K is hard because of how much work it is both to keep up and to learn all the new stuff. The complexity seems to have shot up.
ReplyDeleteYep, totally agree. I've played a lot of 40k in the past and a fair amount of competitive games too but even I'm daunted by the prospect!! It'll be interesting to see how you get on and I wonder what army you have?
