Been playing a fuckton of Rogue Trader. Buggy as all hell but been having a lot of fun so far. Doesn't seem particularly deep roleplay wise but the combat encounters are very fun and it's absurd how early you can make yourself OP. Or at least feel OP. I haven't had a single challenge so far, but I'm only like 15% into Chapter 2 so I might end up getting my shit pushed in soon for all I know.

Also got SM2. Looked fun even though it's not my usual style of game. And it is fun for the most part. Wasn't expecting super deep gameplay with a bunch of different modes or something, but it does feel pretty bare. And the lack of healing ability is brutal for how quickly your health and armor gets shredded. Promotes a killshot cheese gamestyle.
Stun, L2, parry if needed/it feels like working, repeat until execution. Try not to get swarmed between these actions or you die. It's also a skill issue but it's more fun to blame the game.

I actually really like Rogue Trader but the chapter 3+ scaling is kind of fucked, especially on harder difficulties. You tend to either crush 80% of the enemies in one turn or get blasted and lose 4 of your own guys before you can do anything.

All fun and games until you get that bug where an enemy tries to run off screen and isn't targetable and combat is stuck because the game somehow recognized them as still being in combat and you cant kill them.

this dude's been spamming these in basically any applicable warhammer painting community for the past 2-3 years. they invariably gain more traction than any post you'd actually want to see if you give any semblance of a flying fuck about skilled painting. comment sections are an absolute janny wasteland. i'd give props where they were due if he was actually good at painting, but this is just 'eavy metal amateur hour.
the technicolor disabled woman painter warcom likes to promote all the time in their "community paints" features is also annoying. it was cool once, but after seeing it 2-3 times it's just fuckin' boring and tasteless.

I don't know about the technicolor woman you're talking about, but to be honest their community paints posts are generally kinda shit anyway. Back when they regularly had skilled painters they wouldn't tell you who the hell they were on IG most of the time so if you did want more angles or wanted to see whatever else they paint you'd need to search around. Now that they actually properly promote them, the quality of the shit they post half the time is mediocre as hell.

And yeah, that dude has definitely been spamming his bullshit for years now. Normally someone who can paint worth a shit shows what they've done, then moves the fuck on. But then he did the same shit with some dkok, and some sisters of battle, and painted a mini from every faction as a tranny flag. He's not an awful painter, but at the same time it's literally just the same shit ad nauseum. I looked at his instagram, saw this and wondered wtf is was... https://www.instagram.com/p/C9IXK0btxqE/?img_index=1 Apparently now there's a "mental health awareness flag"

Are these people just incapable of expressing anything without making a flag out of it?

Colonizers can't places a claim upon a space without a flag.

It's not about making awareness of anything. It's about making goddamned sure you know he's rubbing your face in modern politics in your space, and you can't do anything about it.

I get that, and they won't admit they're colonizers but that's exactly what they are. Although with the 50 billion flags... unless there's text to go along with it how the hell is anyone supposed to know wtf is being shoved in their face? The only reason the basic rainbow pride flag ever worked for anything is because there was only one of them. Hell, now there's variations of that even and no one understands the shit.

New fan made 40k animation, saw it pop up in my recommended so I figured I'd share it here. It's nice, gives a little nod to Astartes too.
Click to expand...
That was actually pretty good. The thing is, from the variety of models he's got in the animation, it's a lot more work than the astartes guy since let's face it, most of the models in the astartes animations were copy/pastes of eachother, so fewer models but able to put more work into them.

This one

She's a decent enough painter and her style looks okay on some things like Seraphon and sillier Ork models, but absolutely retarded on more serious grimdark stuff. And this is a promotional feature from before the box came out, so the community team specifically approached her to do this.

I really liked the way they used to feature community painters. You could tag your paintjobs on instagram and if the community team liked it, they'd ask for your permission to put it on the webstore to accompany the item listing. It was a nice form of community engagement and they mostly featured painters with reasonably approachable skill levels for your average hobbyist. I got featured on some Skaven and Tzeentch stuff, but yeah you're right, they didn't credit me on their website. They'd just comment this on your post:

I didn't personally care that I wasn't credited (even though it says they'll use your name and photo), I hate engaging with other painters on instagram, because it's sadly the same influencer wankery you find in anything else ("hey I'll like and comment your stuff if you like and comment mine!" nah fuck off dude I just wanna paint), but yeah it did suck when you wanted to see something from a different angle or if/how the artist approached different kits.

I was pretty sick of seeing that faggot Arch pop up in my recommended (his voice makes me want to kill myself). So I clicked Do not recommend and clicked on some painting videos, it worked. I did the same equally for that faggot Endymion as well, these people are false prophets and I can guarantee these fuckers are equally as degenerate behind closed doors.

There are some amazing painters on Youtube and Instagram and they don't get a lot of rep. I have learnt a lot from them but jfc that nid model is AIDS however like the above poster said she is actually a talented painter using colour, it's like a counter grim dark and I don't hate it. The problem is with people like Arch etc they will take a topic and warp it into an untruth and actually hurt themselves.

For example what we see
- A painter who uses colour, inproperly grouped with a very vocal minority that have an ideaology that is oppossed to main audience.
What Arch sees and sells
- GW are cowtailing to women and promoting gay colours and trying to destroy your hobby even further.

I just choose to ignore now honestly and I choose to like who I like, christ I have been watching a lot more Eons of battle because he does not mention politics at all and just paints. Sure he is a bit soy but hell at least I see him paint stuff. When the fuck has Arch even shown a model. Apologies I mentioned Arch and Endymion, I know there are more but those are the 2 that were littered across my feed.

Jesus christ, that's certainly an exercise in "awful taste but great execution".
And yeah I see what you mean by them painting that a lot. I had actually seen her green/purple/yellow tau riptide before, absolutely not my taste but still looks surprisingly good. The starry night landraider is at least neat but yeah 90% of what she posts is a neon/technicolor assault on the eyes.

Yeah, my painting isn't anything I want asspats over, but I do like seeing well painted stuff from other people. Another example of GW's shitty promotion of painters is golden demon winners. Only recently have they also included some IG tags for that, and I think it's even more important because they only ever take one dead-on blown out as fuck picture of the winners. Sometimes you wouldn't even know how much extra work, like a year or two back someone won with a jaghatai khan mini, but GW didn't even post a backshot of the amazingly well done free-handed cloak. Or sometimes it's a custom sculpt and you get 1 angle leaving out a ton of detail that was work the artist put into it.

Arch is worth bringing up to shit on. And no, I don't think he's ever posted a model(it's not like he doesn't want to have his minis at the store on the table matched up to his channel, everyone knows wtf he looks like). I honestly doubt he plays or at least hasn't for ages. Clearly he's just a lore nerd, and that's fine. The fact that he's a grifting piece of shit is a separate matter.

Endymion is just a complete fucking tourist that only jumped on the bandwagon because he's a grifter and got himself some views. His youtube channel started as a bunch of bullshit about mass effect that couldn't break 5k(usually less than 2k) views. Then he switched to talking about elden ring because that was popular but couldn't keep that up, then about 2 years ago switched to the culture war crap because that got him views, and over the past year went full grifter mode with henry cavill in every fourth thumbnail.
 
Arch is fine, but damn his "oh hehe when you think about, the other side is the REAL FASHIISSSTTSS" shtick gets old faster than the speech to text jokes.

Endymion on the other hand is a tourist worse than Bricky.
I get it that Astartes and Custodes are related, and what is true for one should work on the other. So you can argue that Custodes/Marines are mostly the same thing. If a truck runs on gas, a car will run on gas too. If Astartes must be men, Custodes also share thst trait, same with Primarchs and even Thunder Warriors.

But the guy made the argument 40k Imperium likes pedos because... Bretonnia likes knights and altar boys.
He does not know about 40k/Fantasy being not the same. Talk about doing zero research, and he does the "Other side are the real nazis, yikes!" Arch dance too.
 
I can't watch painters knowing that they will always be better than I can ever hope to be (thanks in no small part to GW and Citadel sometimes footing the bill for them).

When my models are to my liking, I know.

Yes Arch is a smug cunt but I'll watch him over the insufferable faggot that is Valrak.

And at this point, I wouldn't call Bricky a tourist. He shouldn't be the go-to guy regarding 40k, but he's been playing long enough to be considered a fan. His buddy DK however...

That adeptus ridiculous podcast of theirs is such utter fucking garbage. It's been years now, and Bricky having basically done 2 attempts at a batrep channel couldn't fucking get DK in to play a damn beginner game and film it for content at any point? The guy still has no fucking idea how the tabletop game even works. Even an evening on tabletop simulator so he at least gets a basic understanding of the game would be an improvement. But no, Bricky makes a statement, and then DK makes some wild assumption about how the game must work, and the Bricky has to briefly explain something simple like what a charge is, or that guns have a set number of shots.

And no, Bricky isn't a tourist, he's been playing for multiple editions now, reads the books, watches videos, plays video games, etc.

Valrak is a braindead Norf F.C. and every time he attempts to read aloud it's fucking painful as he stumbles over the pronunciation of even the simplest words, but I would still rather watch him than have to put up with Arch sperging on in his rrrrridiculous, over-the-top fake Brrrritish accent.
