It being a "new" "separate" game is the tiniest of figleaves over the fact that they're trying to prop up their reports by selling plastic MkIV armor to idiots. quote:Spend 150 Euros -> free dice (unsure if just one or multiple); if only our use of language took into account a difference between singular and plural forms of a word then we might finally know the answer to this question

Buying something you want doesn't make you an idiot. It makes you a happy consumer. Something GW is having a hard figuring out since they also boxes a bunch of chaff with the 30k set.

LingcodKilla posted:So many questions.... Is his shield a defeated brother? Is his club a case of infanticide? That mini inspired me to make one of the coolest dnd characters I ever had. He was a tortoise cleric named Albrecht who worshipped the wind fish (yes that wind fish). He was a solipsist cleric from a nearby island nation that resembled galapagos. I really spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of deity a tortoise person would worship, and what sort of weapons tortoises would use to kill each other.

BULBASAUR posted:It's like a total conversion to 7th edition that makes it more like 6.5. It's technically based on 7th but it's different enough that it plays very differently down to it's own standard mission types, detachment rules, and the way allies work. It's more than army lists, but less than a completely new thing.

GW is a horrible company so it'll happen eventually. That said it's been a good 3 years of stability as the flagship product spiralled into poo poo. The eye is slowly turning, but I expect a few more years before it turns into Age of Heresy.

Ilor posted:You realize that this is exactly what they want you to think about AoS, right? My irony-meter is really loving broken right now with all of the linguistic/semantic bullshit going on in this thread, so PLEASE tell me you were just talking trash and also hate 40K. Will it break you if I answer your question in a way that upsets you? 40k is currently terrible, has been bad but has a great depth of character. And since it's likely I've been playing longer than you have been alive I'm kinda attached to the setting. I don't plan on ever playing competitions again, don't particularly want to buy anything new, will not buy anything written by them. I'm perfectly happy playing with friends on a low key basis. AOS is terrible. Has no depth. Is awful. Stinks. Bad models. Zero desire to play. No way to compare model effectiveness (lol wounds). It's too bad too. I'm the kind of guy that would spend money on a game I enjoy that I thought wasn't actively trying to gently caress me. Hell I've spent around $200 on XWing in the last two months. And it makes me happy.

Bandai is making a lot of Grazes. Graze, Graze Kai, Schwalbe Graze, and now Gaelio's Schwalbe Graze! That's four Grazes, and the show isn't even over yet! Pretty big change from how they handled Renconguista in G, where they didn't even make a goddamn Recten, or Gaitrash

LingcodKilla posted:And since it's likely I've been playing longer than you have been alive I don't think that's physically possible since Ilor has a copy of Rogue Trader that he bought for himself back in 1988. Dude's been 'hamming since 'hamming was invented. This does make me wonder just how the demographics of 40K have fared in the last few years. I used to go to a GW store to paint and do pickup games and it was essentially free daycare after the day was over for the local middle school. The store has closed since then, as have many many GW stores, and I understand that they've reduced the playing space in many of the remaining stores. So how the hell does GW get a 13 year old to give up his allowance these days? They're likely not using a Paypal account or their parents credit card on the webstore, right? I have to assume the player base is getting older and there's not a lot of new, young blood coming in at all. Right? BlackIronHeart fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Hell I've spent around $200 on XWing in the last two months. So we're left with a choice - we can either continue to have games that have a high-percentage chance of ending up as deeply unsatisfying (and just plain un-fun) blow-outs, or spend a bunch of time and effort play-testing our home-grown rules and points costs to try to balance stuff (which sounds an awful lot like work). I've got little kids, so who has the time for that poo poo? And plus also, isn't that what I pay GW for when I'm buying the rules? The answer, of course, is "apparently not." So at this point, I have very little motivation left in my to play 40K, which means I have even less motivation to paint stuff. I've got a Triarch Stalker sitting on my workbench that's like 90% finished. Every time I look at it, I just wince. And console myself by painting Infinity minis, which are awesome and go along with a game that's actually really fun to play. If dogfighting grabbed my imagination more, I probably would have taken up XWangs like you. I'm strongly considering selling off 40K poo poo (most of which is new-in-box/blister and much of which is still in shrink wrap) to finance my new Infinity habit because I just don't have faith that GW is going to do anything to make 40K an enjoyable game again in my lifetime.

Ilor posted:(4th is the one we seem to all like best), we're left with no way to cost units in any meaningful way Do you not have 4e codexes or are you unable to get them from eBay? I remember some things being a bit unbalanced back then, but surely using that as the starting point you'd have a much easier time than trying to rebalance the game in its current form.

He's probably talking about costing new units that didn't exist in 4th edition. We actually do have all the relevant codices for our respective armies in all older editions but if someone deploys a Wraithknight, Heldrake or Gorkanaut, we can't really use 7th edition rules and points. USR's, overwatch, strength D, all that poo poo didn't exist in 4th edition and some big parts of the rules were quite different back then. So what's a fair points value? There's no real way to calculate that.Not a viking posted:If you want to use your minis, buy Warpath when its out. Yeah, Mantic got $300 out of me for Warpath.
