Highs: 
Getting to work the booth and demo at Gen Con for Mantic.  That was tiring, but just plain fun.
The DKH games were excellent.  Fun throwbacks to the glory days of fantasy gaming.
The Warpath models are lovely and actually make me interested in buying sci-fi models.
The orcs. (Even with my head complaints, by and large they are wonderful models and a great addition.)
New expanded army lists.


Lows:
New expanded army lists weren't always tested very thoroughly.
Revisions to the KoW ruleset introduced some elements that reduce the fun of KoW for me, while not really resolving problems they were trying to fix.  (Artillery and 'locking' in combat, I'm looking at you.)
The slower pace of Fantasy releases as the year wore on.
The Warpath game isn't nearly as slick, as elegant or as "fit to purpose" as KoW.
