@callidusx3 I like what the author of Stargrave wants to achieve and how he does it.

GW’s games in general don’t appear to have any soul inside them. They feel like they were designed to make money first and be a game second.

It’s weird to see GW list ‘Imperial Guard’ as one of the factions in the compendium … especially given that they have been using those fancy trademarkable names for a few years now.

I prefer games that are complete at launch. Not a ‘here is a bit to get you going until we decide let you buy the proper army lists’.
I wouldn’t mind it if they had released campaign supplements or anything else that isn’t needed to play the core game, but these faction books feel too much like a core part of a game that has been ripped out in order to make ‘moar money’.

And condider this : the compendium has 19 factions
They have announced 3-4 expansions.
Unless there are 4+ factions per expansion they’re not getting everything in the compendium into the game proper.

I kind of wish they had gone the WarCry route and gone for 100% bespoke factions at launch with 4 optional books to cover the 40k factions at a later stage.
