Crowsbeak posted:What is a nigmo, seriously? http://natfka.blogspot.com/2015/06/age-of-sigmar-rumors.html Waaghkins: orcs, goblins and are the servants of the old gods and live in a strict caste system, orcs are the manual laborers. There is a new race called nigmos: a tall and slender priest caste. Waaghkins travel the undersea, a system of flooded caverns that connects the whole world, on longboats and do the dirty work for the Exoatl. There is an artwork of the three different kinds of greenskins (no squigs and snotlings mentioned): an ork in very strange armour, very front heavy, textured like a symmetric turtle shell, he wields is an axe with multiple disc shape blades, goblin looked like a viking but has a futuristic looking handgun, the third was taller than a ork, female, slender - probably a nigmo. But in the photos of actual miniatures only show the old orc style. There is a subfaction of waaghkins that changed allegiance from the old gods to grimgor incarnate and are much more ferocious than their cousins. Homeless Rumors Guy posted:A lot of people have said some bad things about Age of Sigmar here on Dakka Dakka, so me and my friend, who works at Games Workshop, decided to show a few of the "holier then thou" folks just how wrong they were. We got some of our models together and posted some emails on Myspace to get folks interested and we did some demo games at the local store. I think the results will change your mind.

Man thank goodness GW has promised to stop lying to me and stealing my money. Sure Age of Sigmar was released with the rules they made and the book they made, but this time they'll make something even more different and even more betterer.

Particularly that whole "Clearly the game is meant to be played like this" thing is done wholly unironically by way too many people.

40k hasn't been Squatted yet, it sure does have miniatures that Power Squat to no end (the base for the minis is now larger to accommodate HIGH DEFINITION POWER SQUATTING). It sure has heck become such a convoluted pile of rulebooks, DLC, and mini-rulebooks and expansion that I don't know where to begin. Oh, and options for the squads you buy don't have all of the spare bits/parts for the upgrades they are allowed to take, I actually cut a piece off another one of my recently finished minis just to equip the other squad I'm painting (I've had the minis in my closet for years, finally have time and a painting table to do them up).

As someone who's Warhammer experiences has mostly been the PC games (Warhammer Age of Reckoning, Dawn of War series, Bloodbowls, and slight optimism for Eternal Crusade) , has it caused a panic of people selling their 40k stuff and stopping all future 40k purchases yet in fear of an Age of Sigmar style replacement yet?

Broken Loose posted:Calm down, dude. nothing's gonna get Squatted. Games Workshop is a Specialist Games company, not some sort of Genestealer Cult intent on driving their stock prices into an Epic Armageddon. You're just a jerk with a Warhammer Fantasy that the company's Mighty Empires are going to send Black Templars out to take your books and precious toys away. There's no Inquisitor waiting to steal your Mighty Warriors. I think if they seriously did that, they'd have a Blood Bowl on their hands from an entire Dreadfleet of rightfully indignant fans. I'm a Man O'War of my word, and I will be first in line to Warmaster our Battlefleet Gothic to take back our game from the company in a War of the Ring one can only describe as Epic.

To answer your question, absolutely not. The 40k fanbase is so entrenched in doubling down on Stockholm Syndrome that they're willing to move the goalposts anywhere to avoid logic. A few ex-Fantasy players even dropped by to offer kind words and a gallon of awareness, "I remember saying the exact same things months ago that you're saying now, get out while you still can," but let's face it, if they're okay with how terribly they've been treated thus far (and willfully ignorant to the most glaring faults in front of them) there's really nothing they won't tolerate at this point. There is seriously a dude going, "U mad?" repeatedly to people exercising reason over there. My "nothing's gonna get Squatted" post was a direct response to that sentiment. Worse, this site has handled it more reasonably than almost any other community. The depth of the denialism among the greater GW fanbase is so immense that they should call it Nottingham Syndrome.

I mean, it's terrible, but it's also sort of hard to blame them. I certainly didn't believe anything like this was coming to Fantasy and a lot of GW fans have thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours sunk into this stuff. It can't be easy to believe it might all go away for nothing.

I watched a video where two players used the armies from the starter box, and I will admit it looked like it was a bit more balanced, there was a little more synergy between models in an army (which isn't saying much; I guess what I should say is some small modicum of synergy existed), and there weren't dumb "ride an invisible horse" rules. I'd say IF this game had points values, and IF bases mattered and measurements were made from them, and IF the existing armies were given reasonable Warscrolls, then the game might be something approaching acceptable. Not a good game, but not a complete disgusting terrible trainwreck. Why, if the above were true and the game was released as a third (well, fourth, but the Hobbit doesn't really count anymore, does it?) core game, where it's, like, Warhammer is to Age of Sigmar as X-Men is to.... Ultimate X-Men, or X-Men 2099 or some other alternate timeline X-Men, the game not only might not be nearly universally reviled, but maybe even a modest success. But they didn't do any of those vaguely intelligent things, so it's complete poo poo and always will be complete poo poo.

I've dabbled in 40k a few times over the years, never got invested in Fantasy even though I liked the lore and models, and I love GW's bumbling implosions, but I still sometimes struggle to believe this imaginary horse poo poo is real. I can't really fault anyone who's spent hundreds or thousands of dollars and hours a month or two of "nah, even GW isn't as stupid as this looks; soon the comet will arrive to take us to heaven."

Games Workshop are obviously going to take the concept of the gentlemen's agreement to the next logical conclusion and have you and your opponent sit down and agree on what not to take to the battle; and why are we even fighting? Surely this conflict could be resolved in a less violent fashion? Warhammer : The game of fantasy diplomacy

There is one thing I do like about the concept of warscrolls as a whole for WHF: It opens the door to playing wildly unique battle forces made up of any of the dozens and dozens and dozens of units GW has released over the years. Every game has the potential to be something new and interesting. Sadly that sentence is all wrapped up in 'ifs' and 'maybes' and 'could bes', not actualities, but you know, I like the idea

Honestly, at this point, I don't understand why 40k players aren't all running to 30k as fast as they can. It's not like it's that much more expensive anymore.

That said, my friends and I are only really interested in playing Kill Team since it requires a much lower buy-in and is a bit more suitable for narrative campaigns. e: I might still invest in some fantasy minis just for Coreheim, since Mordheim used to be cool and radical back in the day.
