Oddly, TTS killed liking 40K for me and that lasted for a couple of years since Alfa nuked his old fan group for it. I will not gloat over it’s demise but I will also not shed a tear. It’s clear people enjoyed it and I won’t be a fag like the guys on /tg/ currently.
I generally enjoyed it but I get why people wouldn't. The GW-blowers on /tg/ aren't seeing the bigger picture. TTS is just one work. The fact of the matter is GW is dogpiling on all fan vids and kneecapping the franchise. It's not something to celebrate.
 
TTS is know on indefinite hiatus
TLDR alfabusa doesn't want to risk still making the series and doesn't think they can sell out to GW since the series doesn't fit their current brand.
I haven't been back to the local GW since chinavirus started but I don't suppose ill be returning until the legal department and whoever is enabling them is slaughtered.
 
This cements my decision to go for Battletech instead.

I guess this answers the question of "Is GW getting less shitty?"
As someone who’s been playing both GW games and BT since the 80’s, I can confirm you’ve made the right decision. BT will work out muuuuuuch cheaper in the long run.

As horrible as this is, the writing was on the wall when the Abridged Series channels started getting purged.

The big difference between GW and BT is that BT is handing out "yeah do whatever man" passes for fan projects and isint getting fan-content creators into a contract just to make them go away.
I thought GWs policy was going to be more proactive to embracing free and easy fanmade product placement because that would be the sane and sensible thing to do. Now its actively trying to silence fanmade content.

Astartes and that one Inqusitor project had them spooked. GW’s 40k films were generic as hell, and all of a sudden there’s people making money on patreon from their IP and the quality difference is just :story:

So congrats to all the HIRE THIS MAN types. They’re hired, and everyone not hired is now verbotten.
 
You mean like what happened to Dragon Ball Z Abridged?
Funny enough some of the team four stars members started working with alfa so that might explain things. Although I would argue the downslide of TTS isn't as steep as some abridge series since abridge series always go to shit when the creators think they can make a better story instead of just parodying one and actively try rewrite and or deconstruct the series they abridge. TTS started to get like when they stated adding named characters but managed to avoid some of it due to not following a existing story. Can you imagine how shit it would be if they did a full on Horsey Heresy abridge series and attempted to "fix" the books

Well you do have Harmony Gold screeching about battletech is infringing on robotech and will go after fanworks of the former once every few years.
 
The 40k DLC books are all wet farts its clear they just do not want to progress the setting again after the recent push they possibly gauged the reaction to it all and are holding back hard. The AoS DLC books seem to actually move its setting forward things like an entire Stormcast Eternal warband getting wiped out, or the mentions of Chaos Dwarves coming back.
God forbid something interesting happens in 40K now. Didn’t 8th push the storyline ahead a couple hundred years only for them to walk it all back to a couple decades in 9th? The silent king was a missed opportunity. The big boss who they’ve teased for the longest time comes back and nothing. Stop wanking off Chaos in the story for fucks sake it’s not the only threat to The imperium. Orks and the hive fleets are way more dangerous and always have been. Make the big waaagh happen already because that’s the shit people want to see.
 
They're trying to get the hashtag #JusticeForTTS going.


Some of these people are blatantly the types we don't want in any community:

Because the people brought into 40k purely because of TTS and into D&D purely because of Critical Role are tourists and are the ones who a few years later are likely to join in on an attempt to highjack and destroy a hobby.
No price is too great to keep daiperfurs out of the hobby. I loathe that GW is disenfranchising talented animators and genuine creatives, but FukPuppy :flag: is a hemorrhoid on the hobby.

I’m still fucked off about ‘Orktober’ in 2019 (?). Maybe 3-4 releases for Orks and a flood of new crap for Chaos.
Chaos isn’t even particularly interesting for a lot of people, it tends to be played by edgelords and social retards in my experience.
 
Working on kragnos and Man the 40k team needs to get it together.
 
The great thing about painting Gnoblars is that the minis are so bad and old and ugly that they aren't ruined by my painting.
 
I've always been surprised that TTS never suffered from any internal breakdowns or drama what with how woke and/or spergy some of the creators and fanbase are. I guess Alfa himself being a nice, chill guy helps.
I saw his video today about permanantly stopping the series until gw stop being gigantic faggots because he has a family to feed is pretty sad. And looking into all the other creators gw is turning into wagie slaves for their shit so they can exclusively own it is pretty disgusting

Tbh they should suffer some sort of indictment for even releasing that statement saying they will pubicly rail you if you even try to use their shit

Me and my friends also just got into Battletech. We pretty much played only 30k, fb, Necromunda, and occasional aos at this point.
