1: He has an issue with the assault stuff in general in 40k, (granted some are due to rule misunderstandings/people spouting bullshit to get an unfair advantage) weapons he has no problem with, they make sense for how deadly they are (giant chainsaws, weapons with capacitors that would overcharge the delorian, pneumatic ram claws/fists, he is down) his issue, With 40! is how alot of things are pushed so a guy playing melee isnt as screwed as he would be in RL. Which he does admit is a kind of off thing for a fantasy/scifi game, but just part of his personal tastes, he is fine with it, when its used in a more tactical manner.. ... Unless they are orks, cause thats just how they roll. Even when we try and work diff kind of play styles (like alternating turns in full sized 40k battles) while he doesnt like the charge/assault/whatever, one of his first concerns was it could totally screw Assault players.<br/><br/>2. My apology, rereading my last post it came out a bit wrong making it sound like he didnt like infinity for the melee/assault thing, that was meant more to address things in 40k, im surprised he doesnt like infinity more as it has more push towards a ranged focus rather then charging over open terrain and such.<br/><br/>3. Your Dudes/Dude are still a Nomad, Araidna, or so forth. 40k has (or had as they are kinda pushing for people to play the more generic base chapters/regiments) a large banner of "Space Marine" "Imperial Guard" And so forth. You can have 2 chapters of space marines, that can be largely different in how they are played and laid out, beliefs, and so forth. same with guard, chaos, an so forth. It is less of a thing in 8th, but there are still aspects there. You can take Death Korps, and then just paint over to fit how you like and its still technically canon. In Infinity, your squad is still part of one of those main groups, and there isnt that big level of customization in 40k. Dude has Scores of custom sculpted/modeled troops, and thats a big part of what he likes about it. and when i say custom, i mean he puts WORK in to them. guy kit bashes in a way that makes gunpla guns bow their heads in shame. And not just for special unique guys, but like, troop 10 of Squad 4, platoon c, Company Alpha, of Neck Stomper Battalion, part of the 298th Chicken Kickers Regiment (they specialize in hunting kroot)<br/><br/>And im totally not joking when i say he has 10000 points of imperial guard stuff, i am using literally correctly. ... And thats the big reason main reason of why, he would rather not get into anothe rminis hobby when so heavily invested in 40k already he MIGHT be down for like, RPG version, but thats still more work then would really be productive.<br/><br/>Sorry on the confusion there on the reasons, my brain is completely fragged.<br/><br/>And Very. Its an awesome store, and so close. but the only days im off are the only days its closed. ... Add in i put my preorders in through them (and get 30 percent off price of things) and they dont open til noon, which is normally when im going to sleep.. like i should have an hour and a half ago... kinda sucks to walk down and pick up the boxes, then wait for the bus for a ride back up the mile and a half stupid incline hill:T
