Anyone mention this tourist?
If you want to know what you're getting into, this post sums him up (which is ironic considering the poster basically got BTFO the thread for being a tourist himself). TL;DR armchair commie train dude gets pissy at something he has barely even looked at the surface of. Which is fucking hilarious when you consider this is the same guy who made this video that was posted here iirc:

Yeah looks about what I'd expect.

jfc. I made it 5 minutes in. He's complained about people complaining about femstodes, claims no one plays custodes(I was just at a 20 person RTT last weekend with 3 custodes players, and none of them had female heads on their minis, not to mention their new detachment seems to be one of the better off grotmas detachments after some initial results post holidays), and then the guy starts talking about what is and isn't fascist propaganda with Starship Troopers.

This soy faced sounds like a grown ass man in his 30s, low T idiot needs to grow some balls, facial hair, and just accept that some people want to have their army guys beat up someone else's army guys and just roll some fucking dice. I skipped around in the video and around 13 minutes he's bitching about the space marine 2 video game, fascists just going around committing crimes against humanity, etc. They're fighting a fucking tyranid invasion for one part, and then a fucking chaos demon incursion in the next. What fucking crimes against humanity?

And yeah, dude seems to understand warhammer about as much as quarter pounder does, yet he was the one that posted the clip show of quartering on youtube trying to call him out for being a tourist...

I don't want either of these fucks in the hobby.
 
was just thinking about that, that shit vanished except for the occasional lore video I see in my recommended from someone I'm subscribed to. @Sunflower Samurai since you're pretty much the only person I've seen on this website actually "deep dive" into the shitfest surrounding it a while back, anything interesting lately?
Drama-wise, the November discord fuckery was the last thing i got in my radar and seemed to have gone nowhere, i might give it a look over to see id anything happened. However, the Kickstarter STLs had some pretty egregious issues

Heres the current google drive spreadsheet of everything wrong with each model (USE INCOGNITO MODE OR LOG OUT OF JEWGLE)

Im currently on mobile so ill update my posts later, the last major drama happening i posted in Tabletop Community Watch

What the FUCK. I was really excited for the DKoK stuff, until I saw that they basically ignored Krieg's entire claim to fame. I have no idea why they even made cavalry sculpts for Krieg when theres already the Attilan Riders that couldve been fleshed out further. It shouldve been another artillery unit and a cheaper, new battleline Kriegsmen box than just the KT stuff.
>krieg “fan” knows jack shit about them
Many such cases!
Death riders are an original part of the Krieg lineup, added when the range became more than an image in a regiment lineup from earlier 40k. They’re far more integral to the Krieg range than some getting some more unique artillery

Krieg's entire appeal is guys wearing World War 1 trench coats and gas masks, and grimderp lore people who think it's about teenagers charging machine gun fire.

This is why I say "third party" a lot, because "guys in long coat + gas mask" is either widely available, or easy to kitbash.

That's the sad part, you hard survive on that platform, at least when talking about that kind of subject, without doing clickbait, and most of the people who do clickbait are grifters.
There's some interesting theories about this.

In short, certain YouTubers (Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, comic books, etc) are complaining about how YouTube isn't promoting their videos any more. That it's clickbait and drama or bust since no one cares about DM advice/lore/review/etc. any more. Even good shows and hate content is losing viewership.

However, ClownfishTV pointed out that it could be because people have lost interest. Comics are so dead that all but the most online people bother to check on them because everyone else has given up. Last I heard DC was putting out an official Harley Quinn fart fetish comic. People are so checked out with Star Wars that even shows some fans like are getting no views. Same with Indiana Jones, Dr Who, He Man, Transformers, the list goes on and on. And I'm guessing GW is starting to follow suit. All but the most die hard fans have given up on waiting for things to improve and have moved on. And worse, they aren't coming back.

In my previous wall of text, I mentioned "Joe Hobby" who is ignorant of online discourse and sold his 40k collection to pursue Bolt Action, Airfix, and Tamiya. Unless GW pulls off something so amazing as to make him sit up and pay attention, he's gone for good. And no, some new Kreig sculpts or some Netflix shorts isn't going to do that.
 
Kinda wish Leagues of Votann got more attention. Cool faction but it feels like GW is hellbent on doing next to nothing with them


they are getting the xenos treatment, perhaps one book every 2-3 years, (more if one of the BL authors takes a liking to them, which could be a negative, just ask tau fans how much they love phil kelly) good news is squats are quite fleshed out in the necromunda sourcebooks they appear in

the real issue is its clearly half an army, Geedubs loves this anti consumer release cycle with their new factions where they release half of the army one edition and then the rest of the army the next, if at all (poor poor thousand sons with half their range being age of sigmar refugees) so people are forced to buy multiples of the same kits just to make a 2k army, and then bam the new codex comes out with another 5-6 units and suddenly you dont need 9 of the 18 bikes you bought.
 
Trench Crusade will be dead in the water again until the kickstarter backers without printers get their physical minis, then there will be another hype push
This is unlikely, the company they partnered with to print their models are known for having delays of multiple months and screwing up orders.

I'm aware, some people will still get stuff though, and that'll generate another hype push from the community, batreps from wargaming channels again, and so on. It'll still die off right after that again though, even faster if the production company fails like usual.
 
Trench Crusade doesnt rely on ready made models, even basic kitbashes are common, it might be ironic but you can use kriegers to kitbash the heretics and various sigmar types to get various pieces, people still shackled to GW for retarded reasons have ways to consoom the indie astroturf without actually picking up a box of historicals

Although it caused a funny where some redditors get constantly annoyed at more normie types comparing their hecking edgy christian wargame to chudhammer
But otherwise i predict that TC will simply go the way of the 9th Age (the WHFB fan-successor) or Turnip 28 (python-esque rank and flank) where there are dedicated kitbashers and fags on discords circlejerking

claims no one plays custodes
This argument is not only incorrect and retarded but clearly shows this guy doesn't play the game, otherwise he would have realized how wrong that claim is given how brutal they were and still are.
what is and isn't fascist propaganda with Starship Troopers.
He clearly never read the book either and bases his entire argument on the movie only, to the point of sympathizing with the Arachnids. The director of the movie, as kickass as that movie is, is said to have never read the book beyond the first page or two simply because he didn't like it and (probably) because it didn't have enough material right of the bat for him to mock as fascist propaganda (raincheck), which is why he made the changes to the movie so he can make it a satire, even then I'd argue he failed to a degree.

He's a commie far-leftist, he is physically and mentally incapable of doing or understand anything of what you wrote. What's the meme where the guy pulls out his brain and yells at it for not being able to understand if it's a political statement or not? Ah here it is, literally him and people like him:
I don't want either of these fucks in the hobby.
Agreed, gatekeep everyone who only wants to shove outside politics into the universe. Arch, as much of a lolcow he is in his own right, made a fairly good stream shitting on it and everything wrong with it. "You're wrong and retarded."

That's very helpful so far, bookmarking this. That's a lot of issues, they need to change shit up fast or die. Also I assume you need to log out because people will see your gmail?

Yeah me too, I really don't see GW doing anything interesting with them which is a shame. This is the perfect opportunity to at least partly show off what the DAoT of truly capable of, but nope. Personally I want to see more Dwarfy tropes with them, and not just shit like DRG but like the Dawi, maybe some Dwarf Fortress "dug too deep" stuff which could help flesh out why they were gone so long (aside from Tyranids). Would be more interesting if the Ancestor Cores simply said that the information regarding the Squat's history was corrupted but in reality they're hiding it in order to prevent another "incident" (what that incident could be should be left unknown, only that it was devastating).
However, ClownfishTV pointed out that it could be because people have lost interest.
That's more likely the problem, no one stays on the same topic forever. Various content creators I enjoy I only watch every so often as to not get burned out. Can't imagine how much of a headache it is to try and enjoy content you used to love, like comics and movies, that now just hate you and want you to know it while also wanting you to consoom or else they'll label you an overused buzzword...
Last I heard DC was putting out an official Harley Quinn fart fetish comic.
Wat?

It's Guard codex time!


The worst thing is that i just can't bring myself to care about this despite Guard being the only army i own. 10th ed just feels so damn boring for some reason, and i find myself wanting to go back to the broken mess that 7th ed was

You could always go back to 5th and just spam blast templates until your opponents don't want to play anymore
 
11th ed should be out in 18mo or so

10th is a transitional edition to simplify a lot of the arcane crap that held the game back.

We all really got into it with 7th ed, although most of us had some Warhammer stuff (both 40k and fantasy) from way back when. I was the only one who regularly did those big blast templates though, and even then i had a grand total of one Leman Russ and (in my last 7th ed match) one Manticore.


I do admit to nostalgia goggles here, and i might get into 10th ed if i get some matches in, but right now it's all a bit meh to me 🤷‍♂️
