It kinda bums me out if a new CEO wouldn't mean anything really different.

You'd hate to be the Marine who opted for the only Contemptor Mortis in the chapter, and despite dying when it was available missing out because the Marine who died next to you booked the same one a day earlier, leaving you with the best they have available on the lot for a mild discount

Why do you think MurderFang is so pissed. He used to be called Olaf the Jolly before he woke up in a normal dreadnought.

If it's not fake, it's one of the most narcissistic, un-self-aware table flip/mic drops I've seen. This explains a lot of GWs business practices over the years. I suspect GW has been successful in spite of Kirby, rather than because of him.

Yes! New thread title! I'm really looking forward to the financial results. It'll be interesting to see how they assign blame for bad financials, but I guess they might hide a lot of it under the new website.

So I did my first green-stuff project. I made a sandbag wall on one of the bigger bases in my army. How long does it take for this stuff to harden? It's still a bit squishy, and I even put it in the freezer for a while.

It's still a bit squishy, and I even put it in the freezer for a while. Greenstuff will take roughly 4 hours to cure to a more 'touch-friendly' state, but won't fully cure for at least 8 hours. Sometimes longer, depending on local temperature. Don't put it in the freezer! That actually retards the curing time immensely. However, if you have a blob of greeenstuff left over that you don't have a use for just yet, DO put that chunk in the freezer and save it for later. All it takes is bringing it back to room temperature and it'll be malleable as if you'd just mixed it.

Its interesting to note most of the higher ups at GW have been there for a long time, many through what people would call the best era. It makes me wonder, are they all suffering from lead poisoning? They did use to have thousands of lead parts in the building, and I know anyone who worked for GW during that time had to wear special clothing if they were in the warehouse or were generally working with the models. (that's a joke, I hope no one seriously suggests they actually went nuts due to lead poisoning). Axe and shield Dread looks awesome, I'm certainly going to nab one to buddy up with my current space wolves Ven Dread. I wonder if it will be a special kind of dread like the Blood Angels Librarian and Death Company dreads.

You might have not mixed the ratio right. If you think the model can handle it, stick it into the oven at a reasonable temperature (~200 F) and see if it helps.

I missed a Ephrael Stern on ebay by one penny, so I'm pretty pissed. Seriously now, someone has to buy three dreads and make the vikings from The Lost Vikings. Also, why hasn't Blizzard made a new Lost Vikings game yet?

Blizzard spent 12 years making an isometric hack and slash game. That's 3 years short of Duke Nukem Forever. Their internal process is a poo poo show.

This conversation would probably better go in the death pool thread, but I actually think the problem with Blizzard and GW is similar in some ways. Both companies had a property that was for years effectively the only real choice in its genre, and whose gameplay seemed pretty good at the time. Now that there are more competitors, or the target audience is simply moving on and not enough people are getting in to replace them, their numbers are going down. Both companies are flailing around trying to stop perceived 'bleeding' that may in fact just be a regression from an unsustainable bubble, and while Blizzard are arguably better at it, they've committed their fair share of game design sins in the process of trying (in vain) to grasp and retain that 12-million-subscriber mark.

koreban posted:Venerable dreadnaught with dreadnaught power axe and storm shield (3++) is frightening. If the rule writers insist on not changing the point costs on Dreads and/or not making them "squadable", having Dreads with an invul save is actually a great first step in making them something other than hot garbage.

I actually like the way Space Wolves look, I know some people don't but I like them Aesthetically way more than Dark Angels and normal marines. Also, the models I've seen have been really dynamic, so that's kick rear end as well.

My point was more that it is humorously ironic to see someone decry "pricechat" while in the same breath basically proving the "pricechat" people's point (in that if GW's prices were reasonable, you wouldn't have had to go on eBay to get them cheaper in the first place).

Nearly finished a squad of Swooping Hawks. Two things: 1. These models are more godawful than I ever imagined. 2. When the gently caress is GW going to revamp the Eldar aspects.

I wanted to make a joke about going all in on vampires to compensate for shifting the space wolves back to vikings from werewolves, but  I do hope they do more for the Blood Angels to differentiate them from vanilla Marines; right now they might as well be a big codex supplement.
