Nah, the WAAC mentality has been spreading here in Europe. I really hate those words, but "Back in MY days", our local GW store was run by players and hobbyistsfirst and foremost, and the store doubled as a gaming club.

Now, the manager is a WAAC tourney (censored for decency), his underlings are commercials with not enough grasp on the game, new people who want to start get their list handed to them by the manager (costly both in points and €). And since there are what, 3 official GW retail stores in Belgium, and the two others have evolved in the same vein, well the WAAC mentality has become dominant.

Add 6th edition and the addition of flyers, and you get a truckload of "rape trains with no brakes" (to put it in 4chan's poetic words) all over the place. Alternate army lists have dissappeared entirely (as have specialist games for the matter), Chaos Space Marines and Vampire Counts have become completely generic, and as far as I know, the bet is know to see if one can come up with a list where there are more Drop Pods than basic Tactical Space Marines in a 1500pts list... Seriously... WHAT THE FUCK?

Now, personal bitterness aside, I'll try to take over the Necrons (We finally got a copy of the codex at our club) but I'll need time for that, I'm rather busy professionally those days.
