Reflections on 6ed 40K.

After playing my first full sized game with allies and the whole shootin' match, I like the new rules even more.  I played 2K with Mathew down at Legends yesterday.  He was on Chaos Marines and I played Blood Angels with Grey Knight allies.  It was a fun game, even if there were a lot of distractions and some confusion caused by the new rules.  It took us about 4 hours to finish 5 turns, then I had to leave.  I won, but it was kind of a sketchy victory.  Due to the time limit we had, the game ended before he had a chance to get another objective.  If the game would have gone full term, I think he'd have won, but there's no way to say for sure.

Other than the games of 40K going on this month, it's been pretty quiet on the gaming front.  I haven't had much time to devote to Magic, which is sad considering the pace at which the metagame evolves these days.  I'm an easy month and a half behind the ball on that one.  If the last article I read this week on TCGplayer was any indication, it smells like Delver is making a come back.  It made a huge portion of the top 8 placings last weekend at the larger open events.  I'm not sure if I want to play much before rotation.  Even if that means come rotation time, I'll have to completely rebuild a new deck, since the ones I've been tinkering with lately all rely very heavily on cards that are going to rotate in October.

Things to consider.
