Warhammer 40k

Been working on a US military model for a friend. Holy shit if you buy GW plastic for Guard tanks then you are ACTUAL nigger cattle that can be killed and eaten. A tank roughly the same size as a GW tank with a little bit less detail and 10x the ease of building and 1/3 the price is enough to make a man consider IG niggers that spend on GW plastic less than human

I guess this only applies to guys that enjoy playing more than painting, but even guys that just want an art piece are on thin fucking ice for me.

I have built plenty of both, games workshop tanks are gaming pieces meant to be handled. Throwing a revel kit on the board is just gonna get that kit fucked up from handling it, the design priorities are so different that they arent comparable

That being said I buy 90% of my hobby from a recaster so when I see shit like a baneblade being $200 now I get hella whiplash as I remember when they were 90 lmao

Plus my recaster has better models like the old mars alpha hulls and ryza turrets
 
The audio drama "Hunter's Moon" is ass. Probably the worst one in this collection because the story was just so full of nothing.
It's set up as an Alpha Legion story, with this neat little tag line "let me tell you of the day the Hydra came" to whatever backwater ocean world it takes place on, but it's really a Space Wolf tale with the AL making a cameo. Just a weird bait & switch to me.

That said, the whole thing was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Reminds me of fire warrior lmao. You'd think with that as the name that book would be focused on the Tau, but it was actually about a Confederate themed guard regiment (I doubt GW would even dare touch that idea now) that just so happened to fight some tau on an (unbeknownst to them) nurgle death world.

There was a wild scene in it with a krootox rider that really shouldn't have eaten whatever he ate, and also some drone on guard warfare that aged really, really well given it was a decade before ukraine escalated
 
The new Boltgun 2 Trailer shows some Slaaneshi daemons.

Maybe now people will shut up about "No, we can't have Slaanesh in action games because it would make the game Adult Only!"

“The Soul, Severed” is short but it gives good characterization for pre-Siege Eidolon and has a pretty good summation of the EC.

“This is what we are, this is what we do now. We will burn them, skin them, render them down to toxins the gods themselves will gag on!”
-Eidolon, as high off paint fumes as you are.

“The Revelation of the Word” is Lorgar discovering the Imperial Cult and crashing out, very funny. He sounds like Arbiter.

“Dark Compliance” is post-Molech Horus being a megalomaniac, longer one, very cozy listen. Surprise daemon cameo.

“Fabius Bile: Repairer of Ruin” stars the old monster looting Horus’ body, last bit of him being insane and fun before Talon of Horus and his later trilogy. Rare Legion Wars lore, drops the fun detail that the EC led the charge in dismantling the SoH but all the others joined in.

“The Eternal Blade” Lucius vs Thousand Sons Christopher Lee, short but sets up Crimson King. Lucius getting his kicks off of killing handsome men is pretty funny.

“The Embrace of Pain” Lucius pre-Faultless Blade has to kick some Death Guard murderhobo off his ship.

“Warmaster” free, entirely Horus’ stream of consciousness but has some good lines. Basically he’s not happy the war became an uncontrollable storm and he’s in over his head/delusional.

What are you doing to your plastic miniatures that just holding it causes it to break apart. Thats not normal, regardless of the design principals, of which if you were so worried you can work around that. The WWII tanks for GW tanks are a very common proxy.
Also
>Recasters
>complaining about the quality of other company's minis.
Lmao.

Did I once complain about quality? I simply said its an apples to oranges comparison.

And the recaster i use isnt the usual ebay slop, its an invite only guy, been using him for 8 years now and never had a single quality issue. Ive seen the ebay slop and its nowhere near that bad. Plus its not like I can get Valhallans from GW anymore so *lol*

Depending on the models, yes there can be a different in part thickness, and other details like railings, lashing points for additional stowage, and other stuff that is going to be a bit thinner on some tank models. Something like a british WW1 mk 4 tank would generally be chunky enough to not have a problem. Something like a Churchill from WW2 on the other hand is just asking for antennas, the front chassis MG, the cables and shit on the side etc. to get snapped off while being handled.

That said, it's also not hard to just leave some of that shit off, replace it with sturdier parts, or just beef up the connections because you aren't concerned with making it 100% accurate to the tank.

Good, it'll hopefully prevent a repeat of the bullshit from The Witcher series since accuracy was what he kept getting into arguments with the writers over.
Striving to maintain the integrity of the Warhammer lore, Cavill has reportedly rejected suggestions that the adaptation should made “more accessible” for general audiences. This suggestion was aimed specifically at the origin of the Primarchs, a small band of genetically-engineered “transhumans” tasked with fighting for the Emperor of Mankind.

Primarchs can be explained in under 2 fucking minutes, they're one of the easiest things to explain in 40k. If he's already having to get into arguments with idiots wanting to change shit, it would only get worse if he didn't start this way.
What exactly needed to be changed is unknown, but Cavill reportedly turned to "his own annotated source books” and tasked the writer in question with spending the next 48 hours studying why such changes would “unravel” the wider story. This has since become known as the actor’s “three-strike rule,” with writers expected to “have a working knowledge of the Codex material and foundational novels that define the grimdark universe,” and thus guarantee that everyone is on the same page. What the specific three-strikes are sadly remains a mystery.

A writer for a series being told to go look at the fucking source material and follow it, what a crazy thought? Of course what kind of bullshit fanfic actually popped up on day 1 that required this in the first place? Maybe this will be a success, follow the fucking lore, and people will have an example of something successful actually following lore.

Ultimately it will fall on the team of producers to either uphold the vision or just do whatever, because amazon. We've all seen this autheur vs producers song and dance so many times and very few times do the artists prevail.

From memory of the original announcement, Cavil is the producer as well, at least think it's either his or his other half's production company who are producing it for Amazon and Andy Smillie from Black Library was also attached, however, aware it's been a few years since so might be different now.

After watching Geralt get fucked in front of his eyes and put in the cuck chair while the girl bosses drove the show, I wouldn't be surprised.

I hope it's true just because that quote is funny as fuck.
 
40k just doesn't need live action. It lives best on the tabletop and in books. Whatever is on screen is going to disappoint, either be too much or too little and feel dissatisfied. Worse is that it'll make 40k more welcome to a wider audience. It's bad enough we lost gatekeeping because of Wikipedia making obscure stuff accessible, but by the Emperor I can't image how terrible the waves of new fans will be after this. Also is he doing Horus Heresy or sticking with 40k? HH would be a disaster. 40k I hope he just runs some TTRPG game story he had instead of a full deep dive into established books.
