Why couldn't the modeheim model work? A new fantasy setting in an obscure age or in the ruins of a world a thousand years after chaos won? Chaos is kinda like the tides. It is not impossible that conditions change and it is forced back north. WH Fantasy has always been kinda low magic...

It wouldn't work since there are no ruins (GW detonated the planet that Warhammer happens on) and, most importantly, there's no reason for whales to spend thousands of dollars on armies anymore in a skirmish game, which is GW's entire business model now.

I have spent thousands of dollars on a skirmish game. It's called Warmachine. Please GW say it was all just a dream! It can't All Be gone! How can I be a king of a war now in big awesome battles??

I legitimately cannot name any other game that ended so abruptly and sloppily. Even World of Darkness had multiple stories of how things "could have happened."

Oh GW...

Can this be in hardback book for 50 dollars please? or just a novella! (The novella is limited print and 50 dollars too obviously)

While we are on this topic why is there no news about wh fantasy plans? What madman does that to a setting then leaves anyone still interested hanging?

Games Workshop hates making money and thinks damaging its brand by leaving the future of the game in question is a sound business decision.

EDIT: I mean, what are you plebs going to do? NOT buy jewel-like objects of magic and wonder? Play other games? There are no other games. :smugbert: Just ignore that confangled internet thing, and never buy miniatures from anywhere other than you local friendly Games Workshop store (which may or may not be within 100 miles of you).

I've never had a girlfriend ridicule or berate me for it. Typically they enjoy helping me - clipping stuff off sprues, painting something with my neat brushes/paints. They enjoy buying me kits as well because they see the joy it brings me.

I do take advantage of them, though. They're usually really enthusiastic and I'll be like, "I'd really love for you to take all this stuff off the sprues, there are a lot of them and it's a pain for me to do,"

"Okay I'll do it!!" *an hour passes* "Aren't the edges of everything so smooth and clean? I did like you said!"

Faaaaaaaantastic babe.

I once had a girl do all the rivets gold on my Baneblade. LMAO. She was more than happy to do it!

lol already have a personal gym at home with all the aformentioned sports equipment and weight bench and what not. Just thinking it would be good bonding time for both kids to sit down and assemble and paint with dad. Kids love to be included. And to top it off, when they have disputes just whip out the 40k table and let the dice settle it lol. "DAAAAAAAAAD JULIUS DOESNT WANNA SHARE THE ..........................."
"well go get your dice and models and settle it. 500 points no lords of war, 2+ saves or fliers"

i just think that would be awesome.

Give one of the kids Eldar, just to demonstrate your parental bias :hist101:

CAPTAIN WORD SALAD

OFF MY MEDS AGAIN PLEASE DON'T USE BIG WORDS

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
I just had a sad discussion with someone who thinks the new Eldar codex is a GOOD THING.

I responded to this with this statement: "I wish 40K was good like it was back in 2nd ed. Smaller model counts, more tactical, a lot less imbalance."

I got this in response. Note he is a CSM player primarily. Nurgle. The imbalance is a myth created by competitive players who run meta and don't actually practice.

However he only started playing in 5th ed and now runs the gaming of the biggest nerd store in the region. But.. really? Armies aren't imbalanced? Its only competitive players and the meta? loving REALLY?

I'm not even sure how to respond to this. I asked him to explain. Somehow I doubt he will be able to. This is what we are dealing with.

(Edit: And Spacegoat is right. Post and learn and talk oldhammer in the thread he linked! And see his kickass 2nd ed Tyranids! He and SRM ought to get together and touch reality balls together with their armies!)

Ah, sounds like a variation of one of my favorite 40K defenses: It is the players' fault if the game is imbalanced (because they're exploiting broken rules (and it is somehow not GW's fault for writing lovely rules in the first place)), but a particularly delusional variation that denies the imbalance even exists!

Nah, they know their clients. Saying loudly that they hate the prequels while singing the praises of even the worst crap the EU spawned is a pretty widespread cognitive dissonance among Star Wars fans.

I'm still not really sure how it's cognitive dissonance. The EU and the prequels are both pulpy sci-fi trash, but the EU is fun pulpy sci-fi trash for the most part, whereas the prequels bore me to tears every time I try to rewatch them hoping they'll grow on me.
