Over the course of my 40k "career" the one thing i have tried to do is to keep the game fun. Edition after edition, codex after codex I try to play the game to make it fun for both me and my opponent. Throughout the years, I have kept using my chaos space marine armies and have had some of my funniest games with them even when I lost. In this age of competitive gamers, I tried to keep to my fluffy armies as best as I could however I did feel the need to create one competitive army, (my space wolves) and though they are fun to use with all of the dogs and the 3 beatstick wolf lords, its still not as fun as my Chaos armies. I guess I'm just a victim of being a fluffy player, building lists per the fluff or based on how the model looks. In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned the Chaos army that a White Dwarf editor had built and painted. It had some of the worst units known in the Chaos codex much less 40K, things like possessed and summoned daemons, to a defiler. I'm sure that this guy didn't have a winning record but he just loved how his army looked. I feel that I am the same way, and in a way I believe that I will continue to play the game this way. I just hope that GW will eventually come to the realization that the cooler a model looks, the cooler their rules need to be, that and here's hoping that Possessed space marines and Thousand Sons are actually competitive in their next interpretation.
