Oh 40k I started playing at the beginning of 2nd edition and had been playing pretty regularly until this last edition came out.

Some reasons why sins is fantastariffic IMO...Killer AI (and just wait till it gets a few patches under it's belt, the gc and gc2 people will know what I'm saying) the pacing is wonderful, people, wrongly I think, keep on calling it 4xrts when it's appeal from a strategy nerd's perspective is a 4x without a turn button. those are my 2c
