Nick, Luis, tell me when you guys are getting down to the club so I can put extra effort in to get there!
I'm struggling at the moment because of full-time work and lack of transport. I am absolutely dying to see the new 5th edition rulebook and have a few games but all my GW contacts are in Cardiff, which I have now left behind.
I don't think my list is going to change one bit. The ability to re-deploy with the Deceiver is going to be even better - the fact he can now run and now he can't be rended to death or sniped so easily, he is an absolute keeper. I have three durable troops units in my list which used to do all my objective capturing anyway, Veil of Darkness is safer now and my Necron Warriors that get left behind can run to catch up! (what happens if Lord scatters onto an enemy unit and rolls to be put back in reserve by the way? Does he get put in reserve?) And I still have my powerhouse units like the Destroyers and the Monolith (which seems like it will be even harder to kill now).
It's like my list was built for 5th edition.
Anyway... (see why I'm dying for a 5th edition game?) I think regarding missions, we should just roll for them on the day, it's the easiest way to do it and no-one can be accused of being prepared. It's not exactly time-consuming either...
Mac, I'll pay you when I see you next in person.
