You are not the only one. I met the GW guy early 80s in London and we had a blast. Alas, the company is now a corporate entity and all of the early creative insanity seems gone in favor of investors pleasing strategies. Granted, the miniatures are still exceptionally beautiful and the product quality overall top notch, yet the prices are stratospheric and one must admit, besides a gem such as Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game, the 40K and AOS rules have not aged well and continue to embrace antiquated mechanisms. Finally, the constant modification of ‘lists’, leading to the antiquation of armies, is likely to drive away players. I ahve left GW behind and never intend to come back, save for their resuscitation of Battle Fleet Gothic and Space Hulk (maybe)… THere are far better rules out there in which you can put your old GW miniatures to good use.
