What’s the number one rule of 40K club? Crush your opponent not matter the cost? WRONG! The number one rule is never ever sell your army!
Now I know we have all fallen on hard times and had to sell an army or other man toys to survive, and sometimes you have to do what you have to do to live another day and put yourself and your family first. I’m also not talking about most of the crap that passes on Ebay as an “army” half built, unpainted or just primed models, failed or lost steam projects. What I am talking about is that fully painted and no longer played army. KEEP IT! Maybe it is an old and unplayable in the current meta army, maybe you have lost interest in playing it, or even moved on from 40K.
Think about this, you will never recoup the money and time put into that army, not to mention the memories of playing it on the table. Stick it in the closet and let it sit. When a new codex comes out you will have a core to continue build off of, and more importantly as a break from your current army to keep the game fresh.
Case in point. I’ve been playing Tyranids like crazy, and while I am having fun with them I do need a break every few games or so. Been a LONG time since I played my Death Guard, built as Mortarion intended, all on foot, lead by Typhus himself. I don’t need to WAAC games with this army, I have the space bugs for that, I just need to have fun playing with them- and forty plus plague marines marching forward is fun.
What drives Typhus to lead this army? His embrace of Nurgle and desire to spread his gifts? What about the rank and file plague marines? Are they committed to the cause of Nurgle, or just seeking revenge against the loyalist marines? Can they find salvation and turn against the Dark Gods despite their many “gifts” from them?
And just what is the dreadnought thinking? Would you march to war with such a machine at your back?
Sometimes just pulling out and playing that old army can give you a fresh fun injection into the game…
