    Also don't see any sense in Kurnothi release, it's another wood-themed Aelven force. It makes much more sense to release Shadow and Light Elves, and maybe then Sylvaneth BT with Kurnothi in them as an expansion. 

    I remember rumours about how well the last chance to buy wood elves went and that they would definitely be back in some form, so it makes some sense in that context 

    When will GW expand the smaller armies?

    It's a really bad problem GW has. You can tell there is a huge disconnect when you listen to playtesters talk about their experiences. Often times they're given the rules and told the base size + rough height of the models. They playtest not having seen any models, just having heard about them secondhand.

    The rules are written before the models are even in the prototyping phase..

    You can hear about it in the most recent episode of Garagehammer (ep 231) where Alex describes how jarring it was to see the Ossiarch Bonereaper models after having playtested them (they don't like the models, haha).

    Firstly that quote was  not me but me quoting someone else!

    Secondly I don't think that it is correct to say the rules are written before the models are seen. 

    Sure the play testers may not get to see the models but the rules designers will have. If you listen to the stormcast episodes they make it very clear that the rules follow the miniatures in almost every case. 

    Its entirely natural and normal that playtesters would only get the mechanical information and not see the models themselves. I can't see why they would do it any other way. 

    When will GW expand the smaller armies?

     it appears like there isn't communication between the model designers and the game designers.

    If you listen to the gw podcasts it gives more insight to this. 

    Sounds like there are times when there's loads of communication throughout the process  e.g. When an entirely new faction is released and also times when there is not much communication and the rules designer is presented with a bunch of new models e.g. Shadespire

    I expect pink horrors to become cheaper but less effective so that they are in line points wise with the other basic daemons, so that it makes sense for Gaunt Summoners to work in Khorne, Nurgle and Slaanesh armies too. At the moment they're summoning 180 points of Tzeentch but much less for the other factions

    I've read the book but feel like I didn't understand the ending. 

     

    SPOILERS

     

    Is Rayner the same person as Zuvas? I didn't get the connection between them, nor the significance of the Amber amulet thing they share. Nor what happened in the end. Could someone who is not a dunce please explain it to me? 

     

     

    Serves me right for speeding it through it on holiday while partially drunk 

    How to stop losing

    Why don't you play them again, with all of the above tips, and be sure to post both lists and take pics of deployment and turn moves etc and you might get some useful feedback (this will take quite a lot of work on your behalf tho) . 

    It's quite difficult to give general feedback on playing the game - but easier to be specific in feedback. That's why there are lots of list changing suggestions because thats eaiser to be specific about. 

    Of course, the best way to get that feedback is to just play as many games as possible against as many varied opponents as possible and ask them all for honest feedback/critique yourself throughout the game. Going to a tournament is a great way to do that if you've not got enough players locally
