			* The poor Death Guard… After 2 editions of mediocre rules, it seems that 10th edition has made them a zombie of their former selves. Gone is the armywide durability, replaced with a slow, miserably weak army that can’t make use of their army rule moving at 5” while the plague weapons they have can bypass the wound roll if they critically hit; defeating the purpose of -1 toughness.

			==10th Edition==
			Games Workshop has not made it subtle that Robin Cruddace has continued to write for 40k rules team, but also putting his vision of how an army plays out (if the WarCom articles are to go by). The edition has yet to come out and every promise made to make this edition simpler, less lethal, and with less rerolls has proven to be false. There have already been devastating combos in the Space Marines, army-wide rerolls, and leaders having different rules based on what armor/mount they’re given despite being the same fucking dude; a regular chaos sorceror gives Precience and Gift of Chaos while the slower Terminator Sorceror gets Warptime and Death Hex, despite Prescience doing better with Terminators and vice versa. It would be no surprise if history repeats itself with 10th edition being so bad that it needs [[FAIL\|a third reboot in less than a decade.]]

	There is a theory that Robin Cruddace fell into a coma during the development of the 9th edition Tyranid codex. It is considered one of the most powerful codexes of all time and had to be nerfed many times before even approaching something resembling balanced. Even in its weakest state it still offers powerful options that no other faction could hope to bring. Of course, he seems to be making up for this with nerfs to Tyranids in 10th.

	Ultimately the greatest flaw was not the constant rule changes or the treatment of a singular army, but how the design of each army’s rules were compared to the previously-released codex. This philosophy of comparing from the most ~~released~~ rules created the power creep seen today as the most modern codex had to be stronger than their predecessors, ~~ultimately~~ making armies that were released early incapable of catching up to the current metagame. Combine this with the general inconsistency between how rules were worded and Robin’s typical favoritism towards certain factions, and you have an edition that was so ~~bad~~ that they had to start from scratch.

	Eventually, Cruddace was mostly trapped in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]], possibly because Games Workshop realized nobody likes him that much, or maybe because he legitimately liked the other game better and chose to design for it. ~~This~~ seems fairly unlikely, though, as he's a really, really big [[Tank\|treadhead]]. This probably explains why his Imperial Guard 'dex (read: army with dozens of tanks) was so much better than his 'Nids 'dex (read: army with absolutely zero tanks). It's kind of hilarious how GW keeps giving him the infantry only armies, and how he gave the Daemons vehicles.
