NL dude here again still unsure what to do with my NL.
Here's what I have:
Betrayal at Calth
Burning of Prospero
Box of Raptors
Box of CSM
Drop Pod x2
I had intended use them for 30k, or more likely a 30k list that can play against 40k. However, I didn't realize how much FW was actually required, which I can't really justify. Buying from my LGS is one thing. He makes a profit, and I get a little discount while supporting my store, even if I'm the only one who plays. Win/win. Meanwhile, FW is more expensive and doesn't help my LGS at all, which is a shame.
On top of the price, I can't for the life of me settle on how to build the army anyway. The rules for NL feel more like NL, but RoW (all of them) feel more restrictive than formations. That leaves me with CSM, which has its own issues.
In general, 30k uses a lot more boots on the ground. What the hell am I supposed to do with 60 CSM, you know? NL to boot, which aren't exactly stellar. Unlike their 30k, I don't get any bonuses for charging a bunch of dudes into combat.
Stealth is fucking sweet, but I'm going to need to invest in rhinos because stealth isn't enough. It's kind of a catch 22 there. I need rhinos because stealth isn't enough, but rhinos defeat having stealth in the first place.
On top of that, the Murder Talon let's me have raptors as core, but that doesn't help me when I have a bunch of dudes without packs. Likewise, having super NF for a turn only goes so far because I still need rhinos because my guys don't infiltrate or anything.
I don't mean to complain and I probably sound like an autist, but I legitimately feel like I'm in a lose/lose situation when it comes to them, which in turn puts me off of building because idk what I'm going to be doing.
Tldr - autist struggles with plastic toys
