How does something like a Baneblade stack up against the Tau broadside / riptide Cadre? Does the addition of the big guys change things up? Will these dataslates change what some feel is a very stale metagame?
Both stores have plenty of WM/H stuff, including those Convergence blisters.
I plan to get all of the dataslates once they're released and have them in Plainville.
Some events will allow them all. Some won't. Some will allow Escalation stuff. Some won't. Some will allow both. Etc. Etc.
There's plenty of upside here. There's also "potential for downside."
At this point I think it's going to be pretty hard to persuade me to change from:
Once in a while we'll host a tournament that is essentially a primer for some bigger event. We will use (most of) their rules and their scenarios if at all possible.
When we're not running an event that is somehow tied to something bigger I'm going to do whatever I think...
1) Might be fun given the community where the event is held
2) Is different than something we've done in recent memory at that location
Giving people an opportunity to field more models, different models, models they never get to use, and maybe even NEW models more often is something I'm interested in, so long as the players in a particular event are having a good time.
Most events aren't for everyone, and I think breaking away from a "cookie cutter" type event schedule is probably best for the store and the community.
If only the new year was coming soon.... Hmm.....
