Well, that guy just left his home... Which can be discussed to be another level up on the boasting ladder (or not, maybe wants to be swifter... can't really believe that with his power fist). He also stands like 'take a free shot at me, and if you miss, you're toast'. Space Marines are so full of it xD
Anyhow, back on topic. With the release of this box, I can see a lot of players going to the good side and join the HE uber-army band wagon. I don't think anyone can deny they are at least top 5 top tier army (without much tactical brain power needed). Played a 3 way army against Skaven and HE some time ago, and it basically was Skaven sitting back and me and the HE fighting it out. It was because of luck that I won. His Phoenix Guard were also shot down by Skaven Jezzails and with 8th edition I would have been toast easily.
Not sure about Skaven getting better this new edition? Haven't heard much on them in the discussions, from where I get most of my tactical info anyhow (no books anymore! Free at last! :perv:). Nevertheless, Skaven were always fluffy and cool enough, and can be very powerful.
So I think both armies will generate a big influx of new members... Sigh, if only there would be a VC army set (ok ok we can convert everything into the dead, but having our own is more awesome).
Although, I much prefer the Bloodline system coming back than a VC army set... If that happens I might actually go out and play VC...
