In my Opinion, 7th edition was a disaster and lost most of the flavor that traditional Warhammer fans loved. It became 'just another wargame'. My hope is they go back to the original story lines and balance the various armies to that. Back in the day, people didn't play armies just because they would win with the 'cheese factor', they played them because they were fun to play. People used to have more fun losing than winning (that is an enigma to those brought up on 6th and 7th edition). A large part of the fun was to see what craziness your own army did and everyone laughed and cheered at the quirks of an army. It all added color and unpredictability to the game that made people laugh rather than become rule-lawyers. I'm getting the new edition with crossed fingers (and maybe a return receipt). I'll be putting my nearly untouched, limited and numbered, 7th edition book on a back shelf and might stumble across it in some future spring cleaning.
