| Good
Run dammit Run
Bad
Nothing I'd class as "bad" to be honest. 40k is a whole new beast.
Biggest Change
Small elite units (..like, umm SM bike squads) will have fits with that wound allocation  where larger 20+ model count units benefit.
Favorite thing
I'm loving Walkers in this edition. About time too!

I would also argue that consolidation into other units didn't happen that much amongst good players anyway, so getting rid of it isn't the end of the world.
Anyone else with an opinion on these things? |
It happened a lot in our group, I guess we are not so good  . I don't think it had much to do with the skill of the players, but more of the situation and the armies being played.
Large model count armies on 4x4 tables could often not avoid it. Terrain placement was also a large factor. |

| sure, all of those things would factor into it.
Just saying I didn't see it happen too often.
Plus when you say A LOT how often do you mean?

| I really did not count. Situational mostly. It was the name of my Game with the Flyrant and Scuttle Stealers.
I think it is a pretty big change from 4th to 5th. My Tau are happy. |

| Good - True line of sight (most people used it anyway
Bad - Blast BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST sucks so badly
Biggest Change - Glancing can no longer kill
Favorite thing - Troops are a bigger part of the game and positioning them actually matters (giving cover saves). |

| Good: Run... I like it!, Blasts... sweet!, take the initiative for who goes first I like that too,
Bad:AAAARGH (Fast Attack) Trukks only go max 18", unless on a road... I am making some roads now though!!! No consolidate orks mad now... oh well. I hate the fact I cannot take more than 1 weapon on my vehicles cause its pointless cause I can only fire one a turn... sure I can have it on my looted wagons with boomguns if they have to move but not worth the points...
Eh:The missions... not bad just not wow...
Of course only able to spot read for now so probably got more to come!
