You see the few people in the bad thread unironically saying how nice this or that is for the Eldar, and I'm like drat, I'd be embarrassed if this were my codex. Sure I want to have cool good units but not in a way that makes the game shittier for everyone around me, and ultimately shittier for me too. It felt bad enough when Heldrakes were the hot cheese.

The Aspect Warrior updates are genuinely nice and give them a much needed breath of fresh air. It's just a shame they decided to be embarrassing everywhere else.

I'm not embarrassed, this new codex means I can stop stuffing socks down my pants. Seriously though, my 6th codex is still with my buddy in the UK, never used, and now it's been superseded already. With that kind of quick turnaround I wanted plastic aspect warriors to replace the horrible resin ones, just the very welcome new bikes isn't enough.

Moola posted:hmmm just got called out for hating anything GW does in the bad thread I learned not to argue with people on the internet the hard way: through headaches! The news of aspect warrior revamp is good for the Kill Team crowd, thought blindly ported Mechanicus... is kind of an overkill. Also, in the Kill Team FB group, one guy managed to go from Kill Team to Apocalypse. How do you get to be that wrong... Still somewhat sore about the new Assassins, but Eversor seems salvageble if you discard scenic base... well, maybe.  Then again, why is this guy not getting an update? Way cooler than BSDM Cult Assassins.

Wait I though the whole point of D weapons was to make Super Heavies in Apocalypse crazy powerful and to remove huge amounts of stuff quickly since otherwise 10k point games would take to long. They put that into regular 40k now??

It's like, if you just want to set up a way cool battle diorama, do that; if you want to play out a massive battle then at least own up to the amount of time it will take you to do it right. For all their talk about forging the narrative they seem to forget that no

Well, BoLs has scans of the new codex - the only thing that went up in cost is the WraithKnight - everything else is the same or lower, in addition to the buffs. If I was still playing, I'd be embarrassed.

So, the D is confirmed, and D-strength template weapons are a thing, huh? I'm surprised the Bad Thread's response so far is 'Oh yeah awesome!' I didn't think they sank so low.

I dunno, I think you could justify a Chaos servant deciding to create a gargantuan pie to destroy their enemy with. Nurgle because he wants to share a delicious treat with his misguided friends, Slaanesh for the sensation of pieing dozens of troops at once, Tzeentch for Just As Planned. Only Khorne might really be a stretch.

If you actually play 40k, and actually care about winning, why not play Eldar? There's a bunch of different Craftworlds, each with their own distinct look and fluff. And you can always make your own if you don't like the ones GW's come up with.

I am a serious ex GW fan who bought all the Warhammer and hero quest stuff as a kid. I have found their business and rules choices over the last couple years endlessly intriguing. I didn't get into 6th due to the price tag and since have watched their practices spiral away like a drunken friend whose car you almost got into again, but now realize they might have problems. I will come right out and ask this because I've looked and can't find it, what is the bad thread and where is it? SA phrasing confuses me a lot.

Every month [this] thread would turn to poo poo when there were new releases and now with a weekly release schedule it is just constant. Other miniatures games have regular releases that don't cause a total poo poo storm, but it is us the players and posters that are bad, not the game. Never the game.

As in, $200 for however many times more than that the armies are "worth" new in GW-bucks. Hollis thinks this is just a temporary glitch and GW is gonna fix it or something. The best you can say is that he's recognized the latest eldar release is bad.

It's good to break some 'reality' into GW land. There are better, cheaper, fun games out there. People are going to get defensive about the things they like. I don't get why they hate on poor moola so much (I'd drink beer with him any day), but you shouldn't all be surprised that negativity wears on people.

Ok I do get that the other thread is about the hobby and "meant" for positive talk ..... but GW are really taking the piss with things lately. The more fans that run away from them, the sooner they collapse and half-way decent company pics up the 40K IP and does a decent job. EDIT: Think of Moola as the Alpha Legion, they work from within to destroy the Imperium for some unkown greater good.

I do not understand why GW would make changes that invalidate their new flagship models like this. Over the last several years huge centerpiece models have been one of their major pushes, even orks got a finally usable Big Metal Thing. Obviously no matter how bad at making rules a company is they would not release a unit that trivially kills them. It would be like if the person had a goose that laid golden eggs and OH WAIT. It just makes no sense from any angle. Didn't this company make Mordenheim? Wtf GW. Doctor Borris fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Apr 21, 2015 |

I liked Warhammer and I love the 40k IP, but I will still call GW out on being cash grabbing assholes. And I will especially fo so if they are going to begin this Over-powered codex cycle again. My local FLG lost half its 40k-Warhammer following due to balance issues, why would I invest further in a game when I can't play against people?
