@avernos I had assumed it would happen with Germans in Bolt Action, but as I haven’t had much change to play I hadn’t noticed that.

@torros I think you’ve nailed it there, mate! (Though I do actually prefer the darker tones to the old 2nd Ed. tones.)

I feel like the ‘always stick to the codex’ stuff is deff from the codexes. Take the Space Marine Game with Captain Titus, how many of thought he was cool for being smart and understand when and where things are a good idea compared to that annoying regular chump who kept announcing ‘tHE cOdeX Does NoT SupPorT tHis’. That’s the bit that draws me too them. They instil discipline and obedience in their initiates, but expect their veterans to know better than to only have one understanding of a battlefield. But that is all in non-codex fluff, admittedly… Sticking to the codex stuff I think almost everything is cookie cutter these days for each group…
