Warhammer 40k

[Male Idiot]

Poor Worf got shat on all the time.

Stormtroopers I can excuse, they were initially boarding troops in the film, and on Endor they weren't really there to wage war, just to keep Wookies, I mean teddy bears, out.

In the original Star Wars script they didn't even have any armour, but had laserswords as a pretty standard gear.

It gets less defensible with clones in an actual ground war, but they are fighting robots. There are some examples of them having camo, but not much. You can at least say that maybe Droids don't see in just the visible spectrum, so camo may not be that useful if the robot sees your heat signature. Which Space marines should also be able to do, known as Preysight.

Is horusgalaxy any good?

I just looked at it. This was worth a chuckle.

Does that mean GW would be more successful if they just doubled the cost because morons will happily pay triple from a scalper anyway? Probably not, because then the initial interest wouldn't be there to begin with. The scalper market is entirely driven by customers willing to fork out the cash.

No. For a couple of reasons.

The one you mentioned requires getting into the weeds of economics, but as short as possible, people want to buy at the lowest price available, but will pay what they thing is worth to them. A starving man will pay £150 for a slice of bread, but he wont if the loaf is £1. GW would sell more models at half, or quarter of the price, but is that enough to make up for the loss from people who walk away vs those who pay up?

Second, scalpers don't win as often as people think. Some do, but in many cases (like retro games) it has been found that it's scalpers selling to other scalpers to keep the price up. In other cases, scalpers end up out of pocket like covid toilet paper hoarders or Wii hoarders. Once the supply returns or the demand goes away, they are stuck with stock they can't move. eg. I remember a new story post covid where someone was demanding that shops have a legal obligation to accept refunds when they had a house full of toilet roll and no one would buy it.

As far as the FOMO stuff, you're spot on. There's a reason GW had a fucking cargo container of free skaventide boxes to give away at adepticon, leaving them sitting around is a liability. There's still AoS 3.0 dominion boxes sitting on retail shelves for fucks sake(I've also seen some of the 2.0 launch boxes not too long ago as well, but I've seen that once while dominion is still all over the place).

And it's not as if everything is forever anyway. See all the people (like me) who wouldn't mind a first born space marine army.

This. GW store guys have never outright lied to me, but they will also do everything they can to dodge around giving a straight answer to a question about upcoming releases or changes. It's interesting that he said flat-out that HH 3.0 isn't in the cards for now, because that's way more definitive than they usually get in my experience.

I think it was because adapticon just happened.

It happens a lot in shitty media, like Worf in Star Trek. You have someone who is supposed to be very strong and good at fighting but then there's no tension in the plot, so they always end up losing, making them look like complete buffoons.

As a one off it could work, but it happens so often it becomes comical.

The GamerGate forums went through this until the admin who was literally a tranny pedophile (seriously he ran for office on a "let me fuck kids" platform in the UK, and moderated hundreds of child targeted subreddits) was pulling shit like "this violates the rules but I won't say what rule or how" and nuking random posts, posters, and even moderators. They finally just banned all mention of transsexuals AT ALL, negative or positive, which pissed the admin off but the whole "proud and out pedophile" got out and he got yeeted before he could do anything but sneed.

Was it an anti GG sub like GamerGahzi? It sounds on par for those groups.

This Fulgrim paint job looks amazing. Way better than what GW put out

I read the interview where the designer, wanted a “monsterous” Fulgrim and casually states that he didn’t want to do the “cliche” handsome face, ugly face and helmeted face approach, going instead for the multiple expressions. He also goes on to explain why 40k Fulgrim is more sea monster/siren than snake.

So going by that logic, if you must take the character who is most known for being beautiful and make him ugly, there is literally nothing more fitting than to just make him Frank Cotton, a character that is undoubtedly the origin of Fulgrim.

I’m still thinking up what I’m gonna do for my Fulgrim.

Wife made the decision for me and got me the EC army box.

Sigbro's tell me about your experience if any at all of playing spearhead. From what I've seen it's basically what combat patrol should have been but the terrain is somewhat limited. The Kharadron Overlords box looks rather fun with good movement but a small number of units might make it harder to grab objectives.

You guys like drop pods?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/v5kqzgnr/strike-from-the-skies-with-new-and-improved-space-marine-drop-pods/

Here's new space marine drop pods! and they're in a 2 pack!
But what about the weapons it has causing it to allow some weird movement blocking and shit?

The storm bolter and deathwind launcher normally mounted above the passengers – which, let’s face it, was a colossal safety hazard – has been removed

It's just gone, so it'll probably be getting a new datasheet making it a dedicated transport
What else could they have improved?

while the endlessly fiddly doors that spawned a thousand arguments about vehicle footprints are now fastened firmly in their open position.

So now they're just permanently down, so good fucking luck ever dropping your new pair of foot wide drop pods anywhere on the battlefield for anything other than pre-existing static terrain.

General transportation of the model will also be a nightmare. It was large enough without the doors being permanently open so I'm gonna grab a couple more before the current kit leaves the shelves for good.

Real men use Rhinos, just saying.

Are they just trying to make everyone play Horus Heresy by making space marines so bland and horrible?

What? You mean you don't want to somehow pack up two 12" wide, 6" tall drop pods to take to a game that you probably won't even be able to deploy?

Also, deploying them is more absurd than I initially realized. Not only do you need a place where you can put the damned foot wide thing to begin with. It also needs a 9 inch bubble around that of no enemy models, that's damn near 30" for just one. Two next to eachother assuming your table is fucking barren and your own models aren't in the way, that's a 42" wide area?

 

[The tired cat]

Do people even use Drop Pods all that much in games?

Only by plebs like myself who still have devastator squads armed with multi-melta.

Barely, and that's what makes it all the more weird that they even bothered with this. Pretty sure they get used more in 30k.

Maybe it was a kit revision preparing for HH3?

If they were going to do that, they probably wouldn't have mentioned intercessors and infernus marines in the article(and tagged it as warhammer 40,000) at this point due to how they like keeping 30k and 40k segregated.
