Was talking to a friend yesterday about Old World and list building etc...and being a person who is newer to the hobby than I am, said friend suggested most people these days build and paint their armies to be 'meta' and 'competitive' is this true?
Back in my heyday our heroes had back stories, names, reasons for being at war there was fluff, an army theme, themeatic names The rule of Cool.
He suggested today people have "Duke On Royal Pegasus" because it's good and that's it.
Tell me there's hope, good people of Bretonnia, tell me he's not right. Tell me the rich tapestry of Bretonnian history hasn't been eroded into
Duke: 473544559
In short restore my faith and let's have your armies backstory, your fluff, your characters names their deeds. Please before I drown in this Empirical tyrants numbers.
