Yes, this has been beat up on all over the place.  I don't like the stuff.  I just put together one and it was simultaneously too hard, too soft, too brittle and too flexible.  It is pretty, but after having to take my finest razor and go into all the deep corners to trim out both annoying flimsy flash and cut out thick stuff, then finding out that the crap does NOT fit together correctly is beyond annoying, it is stupid.  I spent forever trying to trim stuff off one part that kept flexing like a rubber band, then forever working on a part that almost seemed to want to break into pieces (and did in spots), then there was the parts that looked like it was two crammed together bits, which IMO points to an inability of the manufacturer to bother with making sure the mold is fitting together correctly.

Wonderful models, joyous models, detailed models.  Ummm, did we have to have three different persnickety options of weapons?  In the case of the Immortals' Gauss Blaster, four different side panel/power cable options?

<sigh>  Oh well, mainly a rant when I started realizing all of the Warriors I'm in the process of converting into Immortals (which will give me 5x Gauss Immortals, 5x Tesla Immortals & 5x Deathmarks (unconverted) per Immortals/Deathmarks box) will have to be custom fitted for each and every weapon depending on the pose. 

HINT:  Put Warrior torso together, assemble weapon + arms to the torso, then glue the torso to the legs (however you modify them.

Minor rant when a buddy I haven't heard from for months called up and killed two prime hours of model building time when the wife was going to help do some of the cutting of conversion bits (plasticard, etc.) and cleaning up mold lines.

Okay, slow robots, so lots of I2.  Seriously guys!  This is the power armor thing again.  You do know that despite all the fluff text wasted on the technological marvel of Power Armor, on the table top it is all just......a way to give someone a 3+ AS.  It doesn't have any other effect in the entire game.  However, onto the Necrons:

• Okay guys, we have a 12-24" close ranged firepower army that is reasonably tough.  Cool.  But could someone please tell me why Heavy and Regular Destroyers  have different ranges?  I know they recycled the Gauss Cannon in other spots in the codex, but how about a special rule to keep the one unit with a solid 36" range.
• Ditto for the sniper rifles, 36" should be a minimum.
• Why do Praetorians only have A1?
  
• I2 across the board?  Higher ranks, better bodies and technology.  Just like Power Armor, it is nice and fluffy but doesn't give jack on the tabletop.  Scarabs I3 maybe.  Wraiths definitely I3, maybe I4. Immortals, maybe I3.  Lychguard & Praetorians, definitely I3, maybe I4, but if forced to choose, I'd say Lych 3 and Prae 4.  Lords & Crypteks, definitely I3, maybe I4 (more so for Lords).  Various Overlords, definitely I4.
• Flayed Ones might could use a higher initiative, but I actually like them at I2, but where is their horrible terror effect?  Make a Ld check or strike at I1 for any opponents would be about right.  Or -1Ld and force Fearless units to take morale checks.

As a current project, I'm going to pull up my three lists and run them through the metric thing to see what comes out.  I may end up having to count Glances from Gauss.  Hmmm, DRPG is five turns of firing and only counts Penetrating hits and the assumption is that it takes three Pens to make one kill.  So, to kill a Rhino by glancing, you need three hits on one third of the range which means you need triple the glances so I could divide that by three and get the result.

Tesla with BS4 works out to: Two chances to miss, Three chances to hit and One chance to Tesla for three hits.  Heh, mathematically a Tesla weapon never misses.  I will be ignoring funky effects like the biggest Tesla weapon's ability to hit everything withing 6" and the fancy staff of Imotekh..

Well, for a while the Whiskey & 40K blog appeared to be having troubles as I was trying post a comment to this post.  I thought I had gotten it up finally and when I checked back again, my comment wasn't there.  Darn problems with Blogger.  No matter, I tried again and reposted.  This time I made sure the comment was up yesterday before I went to bed, but then it was gone again when I checked it this evening.  Hmmm.  The little "test" comment I did stayed up.  Well, I'll put my comment up here anyway since it seems to have trouble staying posted on blogger.

Now I realize Mike was a bit hot about this subject and his terrain placement has excited a lot of commentary online.  Good grief.  Seriously.  Mike ran what appears to be one of the best GTs many in the community have ever seen and the two biggest "issues" that have any credibility are the location and the terrain.  In each case the "issues" are more about annoyance than actual "I'm never coming back to this crappy tournament".  Mike, people loved NOVA! 

I got a collection of B. Kliban books a few decades back and while they are all funny, this is one of two that have stuck in my memory even after the books are long gone.  The other was "Intellectual" with a typical pipe smoking professor type naked on his hands and knees with a tube stuck up his arse leading to his brain.

Minor rant here after reading several posts where everyone is trying to justify the GW line that building GW models, painted with GW paints, setting up GW terrain to play a GW game is all one big hobby.
