top 10 Introduction

It was suggested by one of my friends that I write a top ten list that includes my favorite games of all time. After putting some thought into it I now have a list that I’m pretty happy with. There is one game that I really wanted to put on the list but just couldn’t. That game is 40K. It was the first miniature game that I ever played and I truly loved this game back in when I first started playing it in 2nd edition (great fluff, wonderful miniatures, and good game mechanics). Unfortunately over the years Games Workshop has destroyed this game for me. When the company came out with 3rd edition, the game changed from a game about strategy and tactics to a game so simple that a six year old could learn how to play it. It also hasn’t helped my opinion of the game system that a new edition comes out every three or four years. I even built a Space Marine army for my son and an Orc army for me in 5th edition but after three games I kept finding myself just wanting to play something else (almost anything else actually but Warmachine kept really coming to mind). I still love the models and fluff but no matter how much I try to like the game I just can’t. It is strange that even though I don’t really want play this game anymore I still want to buy models for it (I think it’s a disease). Well, I’ll start on the main list tomorrow.
