I play very rarely these days tbh Z. My mercs got a little sore from all the drubbings they took and have a horrendous 0-for record. In fact, the only competitive games I ever won was with a Krueger/Woldwarden spam list that left me covered with cheese, and I promptly sold them off afterwards in shame. I still like the fluff and the sculpts, but I have put my guys on the shelf until I see how Mark II plays out.
Take heart. I know there is a regular crowd who play in Fandom's basement Thurs and Fri aft/evenings. I'm sure they'd be happy to spill some new blood... erm... show you the ropes.
