guts and bolts posted:My X-Wing collection is a couple Core sets, a few single-fighter expansions, a Falcon, and a K-Wing. I bought some of it in the shop and some of it online. I don't think I've crossed the $200 mark yet, which I'm pretty sure is the cost of a Warhammer entry box. This is the death thread, where I am entertaining the idea of trading my "cheap plastic" minis for a hand-painted? army of dudes that GW produced and made rules for, only to trade that away again for more cheap plastic. No matter what deal goes down here, most of the interested trading parties will put either little or no value on the GW product actually being traded Chill la Chill fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Jan 9, 2016 |

Chill la Chill posted:Right. I'm just saying this is a lot more difficult than you think it is. Oh, hey, yeah, I don't doubt it. I mostly just wanted to add it as "man, GW sure can't be doing well for someone to want to trade me like this" anecdote du jour I don't even know if I'm actually going to do it, since I already have stuff I like; trading stuff I like for stuff I don't like in the hopes of getting more stuff I like seems like it would actually be hard, not easy, I didn't mean to come off like I was a ~genius~ or whatever. Just that this Warhammer guy seems to desperately want to trade his army for anyone's X-Wing stuff, not just mine, and I'm pretty sure his army was double or triple the cost of any X-Wing stuff you could get at the time he bought it

That tells you all you need to know. You can give GW stuff away still, but it's getting pretty hard to sell it for anything approaching what it is 'worth'. He's desperate to recoup at least some of his investment in a dead game he can't find opponents for. If you are looking to trade again after for what you want that is a mistake and you'll end up even more desperate than him as GW keep poisoning the well.

I love that the volcano where the STEAMHEAD DUARDIN hang out has a giant face. And that they're still reusing music from Dawn of War. Everything still looks like poo poo.

Every time someone posts GW media on the thread my first reaction is "is this a parody?" Also Fyre Fighters. Buy the calendars where they stand around

"Our online sales are up, while the retail is down" is a very bad thing, and for some reason a lot of people say that it isn't on places like Bell of Lost Souls, who are known for the integrity of their community.

Apparently every GW defender has spent the last 6 months studying the impact of currency rates on retail and online sales because jesus christ I like GW's minis. I like their fluff cause i'm dumb and gay. Their games are poo poo and they're a poo poo company who treats their customers like children. I guess I just don't get the whole GW fanboy thing cause it seems to transcend self-interest and logic.

Spiderdrake posted:Prometehus is basically like a GW movie Prometheus is basically SPACE DILBERT. It's the realistic tale of how so called professionals completely gently caress everything up by being complete idiots who didn't use any goddamned common sense. Which is very realistic because most people don't use any common sense. I seriously doubt this is what they were going for, but it is exactly that anyhow. Which makes it the most realistic movie ever.

Again though, this is just GW the movie. I wonder if you ask GW who has the best minis and games in the business? They might not rocket into the far reaches of the galaxy, but they are rocketing into the far reaches of obscurity.

BULBASAUR posted:My fave part is when that one bitch gets smashed by a giant rolling ship thing That never bothered me. I could totally see a panicked person not making the connection in the moment. It's way less baffling than that spaceship landing at a slow enough speed to not deform at all and at just the right angle to roll instead of just falling over sideways.

Prometheus is fun if you aren't expecting an aliens movie. It's more about how humanity is corrupt and Jesus was just some 7ft albino or something.

Yeah these things look like little children's toys with flat coloured panels. I wonder how this model would look after a quick wash and highlight (unless the surface needs to be primed).

Prometheus is a Good Film imo but the other Alien films have been built up as serious sci-fi classics instead of solid space horror so it feels like the scale is off. I like its weird mix of philosophical big questions sci-fi, horror movie retardation and beautiful direction and not even in a 'bless this mess' kinda way. but I'm normally the first person to call bullshit when people excuse wankery with NO YOUR JUDGING IT WRONG (beer and pretzels anyone?) so

Star realms is legit good 1v1, but with more players whoever is in second will almost always win after everybody gangs up on the leader.
