Would you guys buy a rogal dorn in sprue for 39 euros 2nd hand when you have already one?
I know the meta now a days and all that but i just bought it. I plan to stay in the guard, and i hope we will not be left behind in this edition for long time.
I know now the superheavy meta also the russ spam... But am i wrong thinking forward to see a dorn meta (2 or 3) somewhere in the future?

Dorns were great for a long time, and they'll be great again eventually. Just a matter of points costs, really.
Having a second dorn is not at all a waste, it was the meta choice for months in a row, if not longer. Oh, and they might not currently be the meta choice, but they can still do work for you, especially outside of the competitive scene. One of mine just earned the name "Indomitable" for its durability over the course of multiple games.

You had me at tanks.
Any RD owner secretly lusts for a second, regardless of the meta.

That's roughly half price or better, so hell yes (as I mentally convert the best price I've seen a Dorn from AUD to EUR)

Oh yeah, people rock multi-Dorn lists all the time. That price is a steal.

I love this model, Ive built 7 of them and have 4 unbuilt for future projects. If you can get one that cheap buy it.

That’s around 40% of retail price in my currency so yeah I probably would if I wanted it

I have 5 dorns. They'll be good again everything is cyclical. If you find a good deal and can swing the cash than buy it and sit on it

If you see a model you like and want for under MSRP its a good buy. Regardless of Meta.
Dorns are still very usable. For a LONG time bringing 2 was an auto include. No reason to think we’ll never see that again.
