Ooof. Reading the reviews makes this game look like it's not worth free.

However. Every time I open the research menu I see parts of my army locked behind a paywall. I can stomach an entire faction like Tau being DLC but the Chimera? or the Landraider? You gotta be @#$% me! Here is your spaghetti but the sauce and cheese cost extra! Get that outta my face!

Oh its just 1 DLC to complete your army. NO! its 3.
Reinforcement, Fortification and Assault. Nearly $6CAD each. I don't mind that there are only 2 ways to win a game. Kill everyone else or quests. I can't recommend a game that splits your army and puts part of it behind a pay way.

What most game developers would a call an update Games Workshop calls Micro transaction.
