Warhammer 40k

[WhatIsThePunchline]

I mean GW is a corpo and corpos will always repeat whatever is the pretend morality of the day. This has been going on for a while:

They supported BLM in 2020 during all the violence.
They made that Age of Sigmar model with the activist haircut, they killed of Creed and replaced him with his daughter, and now this of course.
Overall they've made strides to dilute the setting - it's been a long time since 40k was actually grim dark. It's clean high tech super marines nobly fighting for humanity's survival now.

Eh... getting angry over female custodes isn't worth the investment of time and effort. Let GW do a Disney. Sure it sucks for the people who have invested a lot of time, money and energy into the hobby, but maybe that too can be a good life lesson, don't invest in something that can be so easily screwed with.

Getting to heavily into copyrighted settings does seem to be a mistake.

 

[ForTheHoard]

Nope. Never got where this implication even came from in the first place.

I was talking about getting banned from 40k discord groups by 3d modelers for buying files then giving them away for free and you went off and accused me of being some kind of fake Robin Hood and told me to get over myself. After a brief argument, it only made sense that you had some kind of financial stake in it. You may not actually make 3d models, but it wouldn't make a ton of sense if you don't. You would be the only person I've ever run into that had a significant emotional reaction to file trading that wasn't relying on it for income. If you're telling the truth, it makes you look like a shameless shill and you'd be better off lying and saying you do make 3d models. At least in that scenario you're not doing it for free.

 

[MeltyTW]

what else baffles me is they dont understand that its ruined to me and many others. theyre bragging about "well what if i add this chud" go ahead, its not my game, its just another tranny fag thing thatll die. i think theyre incapable of facing the reality of how insufferable they are, and why theyre invading our spaces and not vice versa

 

[Penne Dreadful]

Shut up and show me the large group of 40k players that likes this that isn't Reddit or ResetEra.

It's not that most players specifically like this, but that the vast majority don't care at all. Many people will probably never even notice until they release female sculpts (and even then). Most people won't read Codex: Custodes or the Warhammer Twitter or any of the retards on Goonhammer, Reddit, ResetEra and so on crowing about it. Even fewer people will read it than otherwise would have because Custodes have traditionally been a tourneyfag army and all the pre-release reporting says that their rules are bad. This is a storm in a teacup, exacerbated by people who don't know the difference between Custodes and Marines.

My problem wasnt the file trading shit. I cringed hard at trying to act like this was some noble or Robin Hood shit. Like, nigga other bitches already do it and you arent special for doing it.

Says fucking who? Like, I keep hearing this bullshit all the time and nobody ever backs it up. The imperium still fucking sucks and keeps on sucking.

 

[darknation]

whelp, there it goes.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if you can't respect the history of your own IP then you really can't expect anyone else to respect it, let alone give a fuck about it.

I'm a little sad, but fuck them. Let the galaxy money burn.

The original post was corrected to appease the bitching hours ago. People were pissed I said "a good chunk." What's more accurate? Some, none, everyone is totally neutral on it? People are raising hell over the dumbest fucking semantics on this one. I'm a faggot for posting bad info, I'm a faggot for correcting it, and I'm an incel for pointing out that the 40k circles I frequent are overwhelming against the decision. Some of you are just endless excuse factories for GW when they are following in the footsteps of so many other shattered hobbies. Ride it into the dirt for all anyone fucking cares. Just go easy chimping out on the people cognizant enough to recognize patterns.

And to be fair, he did answer my question. The current list of communities that like the retcon are Reddit, ResetEra, and now Facebook. My thirst for knowledge is satiated.

 

[Milkshake Sniffer]

As someone who's been aware of 40K for a long time, finds the lore interesting but has never bought into it as it always seemed far too expensive for what it was; what is the hold that GW has over all of this? Why don't people just cut GW out of their hobby?

I get that they hold the copyright and enforce it with the zeal of an overexcitable inquisitor but why not just stick to the older stuff or make your own for your own use? It's not as is the stereotypical 40Ker isn't borderline obsessional and autistic (in the good way!). Same with figures and other models. Seems you can pick up a 3d printer these days for the cost of 3 or 4 figures and allow the creativity that goes into painting figures completely off the leash. I'd have expected that to be a preferred option for the typical 40K fan.

'Says who' - 'I keep hearing'

Maybe be less incoherent.

Also doing a "do you have a source bro" on 40k nerdery, what the fuck. 'The weather is nice today' - 'PROVE IT'.

Existence of clean high tech super marines:

Comparison:

Wtf does anyone need to back up the existence of Primaris? They've been a thing for years.

Corpos deliberately trying to be more generic over time:

Again why would anyone need a source on this.

Okay, they didnt give a better explanation of the Primaris guys. How does this prove your BS of "Dem being heroic and supah gewd" shit? Cause, despite the Primaris, the Imperium still keeps using outdated tech.

I dunno, maybe because a source would make you sound less of dumb faggot. Also, you pissdicks STILL need to bring up that fucking book? I know some 40k youtuber faggots used it for their shit videos, but let it die. Chirst, you guys are fuckin embarassing.

[ForTheHoard]

I strongly considered going back through the hours of media I consumed on the subject early this morning and clipping all the shit I could find. The reason I didn't is because as soon as I would have posted it, you would either ignore it or wave it off as invalid. You're not arguing in the hopes of being compelled. Wasting that much time on a day off to appease the only two limey queers in the room with a problem would have been fruitless. We've done this before.

You don't have to look very hard to find a lot of pissed off people on this. Pretending like you need to have your held held to find negativity on the issue implies you're either retarded or disingenuous. I'll spare the thread any more of my bickering on the matter.

 

[Lazy Drei]

Never been into 40K myself, but this looks like just another attempt to shove shit that maybe 0.1% of people asked for into the actual fans hobby's.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's going to end up as a net loss for the fanbase as people leave the more dumbfuckery they put in there.

Not so long ago I saw some space marines in trannyflag colours and people got banned left and right for saying they don't want this cancer anywhere near their hobby.
Godspeed to all the autists continuing to resist this shit.

 

[ReasonablyRetarded]

I hate to say it but 40K fans deserve this and the inevitable escalation to shit like troonmarines (though deathguard already exists) and xisters of battle before the hobby and IP die a slow painful death via customer exsanguination, since the people that care about this diversity shit never buy anything anyways.

If retards are too fucking dumb to see the pattern that's been repeated between comics, movies, TV shows and games, it's 100% deserved.

This isn't a drop in the bucket, it's the first raindrop of a storm brewing, as it always has been with those other forms of media too. If you can't see that I hope you're content with eventually having no one to play with and having to walk on eggshells during any discussion about the IP.

The problem there is that it requires having friends and being able to convince them of anything. A lot of people play at an FLGS or, worse, a GW shop with the average casual crowd who just want to play whatever is current. Tournament players are still more extreme and want their cutting-edge rules. That said, plenty do play older editions, miniature-agnostic games like OPR and whatever else - my own group mostly plays Battlefleet Gothic, which has been untouched by GW since 2010 and which doesn't even acknowledge the 5e Newcron retcons.

As an aside on printers, it's closer to 2 figures than 4 - you can get a 2k printer (which is entry-level these days, but still more than good enough for decent models) for about 100 USD in the first world (depending on how much you print, you might well end up spending more on resin than the printer itself, though) and I wouldn't be surprised to see it drop further. It brings up another thought when it comes to the below, though:

If grogs like myself largely print and only buy a box of models once in a blue moon and some have gone further and sworn off GW entirely - you have a few of those sorts in this very thread - to what extent does this apply? To some extent they're abandoning one group of non-customers in favour of another. Futile, but in both directions.

This isn't a drop in the bucket, it's the first raindrop of a storm brewing, as it always has been with those other forms of media too. If you can't see that I hope you're content with eventually having no one to play with and having to walk on eggshells during any discussion about the IP.

This is by no means the first raindrop. Warhammer is for Everyone was three years ago. This is one more $CURRENT_YEAR change to my least favourite faction in the game, which shouldn't even be playable in the first place.

 

[FedPostalService]

I’m glad I’m off Twitter as it would be insufferable right now.

The problem is the the Arch types and his army of retarded incels make this very easy for GW to double down on.

Even sensible people I know were starting to go, “why not have female space marines?” just to take a swipe at the angry lifeless spastics in the hobby.

We live in a society.

 

[Foltest]

And here I sit and see how GW ignore Sisters of Battle.

 

[BrainProlapse]

I've never particularly cared for Custodes (I have an army though lore-wise I find them a bit dry) but it's still lame.

Everyone recognises this for what it is; the first real sign of rot in the hobby. The first showing of weakness and willingness to fold to the degenerate few, most of whom don't even collect or play.

Will I quit? No lol, but I'll be buying less and 40k as a whole has lost some shine.

I hate to say it but 40K fans deserve this

No.

When was Imperium launched?

I think there is genuine concern about adding female tokens because the company has declared support for ESG and any addition should be under suspicion.

I have no problem with having female characters, as long as they are not under DEI/ESG/Crititical Theory agenda.

i fail to see how that makes them reasonable they sound like a bunch of faggots. i think theyre just people who didnt want to seem gay before having an iota of an excuse.
