Moola posted:converting your existing 40k poo poo into 30k is the pro move Even if you do that. 10 man marine upgrade kit, without any 30k weapons, costs as much as 1.5 new tactical squads. Obviously you can get things cheaper on ebay but it's a crazy expensive upgrade to an already crazy expensive hobby. That said they haven't released dark angels stuff yet, so I don't really have any bug itching me to go out and buy any..yet.

To be fair, the FW guys know their stuff is expensive, the guy I talked to (main author of the IA13 book) said HH/30K is a 'niche within a niche' so it's not for kids, teens or students, it's definitely for middle-age people with money burning a hole in their pocket.

A FW head costs $1.8 per dude. Then just convert up your own shoulders or use custom decals. You can kitbash your torsos too or buy them for $3.5 each. I never buy whole models anymore since I save cash just getting the individual parts that assemble into exactly what I want. For PRO MLG cheap 30k action (not counting communism) you can buy FW kits, keep the heads + guns + torsos and then flip everything else on ebay to bring down the price of the project. I won’t do the math for you, but you can sell actual FW still for a pretty good markup. Moola posted:converting your existing 40k poo poo into 30k is the pro move This scrunt knows what's up

The whole point of the 40k universe seems to be that it's sitting on the brink of multiple catastrophes in an epic stalemate. The logical next step is that everything collapses and the orks take over. Plus given the fact that it's a space opera set across the galaxy over thousands of years there's infinite room to expand the lore without extending the timeline. New places, characters and events can be created without too much trouble. The same can't be said for fantasy because its map isn't boundless.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 40K Time Of Ending or whatever if the fantasy Endtimes is successful enough. It's not like they'll gently caress with the lore enough to end the franchise but moving some stuff around, maybe burning down some planets would help keep things fresh.

The logical next step is that everything collapses and the orks take over. This is 100% correct. If you talk to any of the writers/design staff they will tell you the 40k universe is a setting not a story. They have no intention of advancing it. Of course never say never... but it certainly isn't in the plans.

S.J. posted:they un-killed eldrad, i mean seriously And that was a good idea. Eldrad was exhibit A in the case against giving 40K an evolving story. The last thing GW should do is write stories that tell people they can't play with their toys anymore. And besides that, there are ten thousand years and millions of planets with which to tell stories.

It's not like they'll gently caress with the lore enough to end the franchise but moving some stuff around, maybe burning down some planets would help keep things fresh. But that's the point. Name a planet that matters in 40k other than Terra or maybe Mars. They burn down planets all the time, hell it's literally a meta joke that the Inquisition just Exterminatuses all over the place. It's not just that the galaxy's on the brink of collapse, it's literally collapsing constantly but none of those catastrophes carry any narrative impact because all the planets are made up and the points don't matter.

PeterWeller posted:The last thing GW should do is write stories that tell people they can't play with their toys anymore. Yeah, but they already do that, conscious or not. I'm not against them killing of characters or making changes that affect the universe. It can keep teetering on the brink, which is a big part of the selling point, but you get more impactful stories when you strangle people's babies.

And it's not like killing off characters prevents people from using them if they want to. It didn't for Eldrad, it didn't for Tycho, it isn't for any of the 30K characters that are getting releases now...

Storyline-obsolete models isn't actually an issue insofar as they're already making minis for two different settings 10,000 years apart. Is anybody going to give someone poo poo for playing Konrad Curze in 30k-in-40k just because Curze is canonically dead? Or sperg out over the fact that your Calas Typhon isn't a plague-mutated horror yet? Okay, don't answer that, we all know the answer is that yes, some sperglords would give you poo poo. But hopefully the point is clear.

Both start playing with Eldrad; the first one to die rolls a d6, on a 4+ is declared Eldrad and the surviving Eldrad is revealed to be Alpharius, whose rules he plays with until the end of the game. If he fails the roll, Alpharius is the one who died. Or did he?

There's a rule in blood bowl that if both coaches hire the same star player then neither player gets to use him but they both lose the money for hiring him. The rationale being that the player conned both coaches of their cash and then didn't show up. So just do that. With spirit stones.

I've talked and posted about the ravenguard rhino rush in this thread (I won dark star with it) I'm on my phone or I'd quote and expand more on it. Now that imp Knights are harder to kill compared to 6th I don't think it's top tier but it's still a headache for every army.
