The 15 year-olds at the game club (sadly, my best source of information) assure me that Necrons still have a nigh-unstoppable individual and that Imperial Guard still need tanks to survive. So that would mean 40K is still as hero oriented?

I ask because I'm not much of a 40K fan. I prefer skirmish games, games where heroes are less important compared to troops, games with a wider probability curve, and fewer "dude combos."

It has looked like the last two races added (Necron and Tau) were added specifically to sell more Kewl figures and have been a bit disproportionately powered. I was hoping that they might tone that down this revision.

The major point is that I don't like Arnold movies as much as many people. I prefer movies where the hero ends up battered and a little broken rather than absorbing enemy fire with a scenic scrape on his forehead. I could be interested in 40K if there was some way for average troopers to stand a chance against the uberlords of fandom.
