anti_strunt posted:Alright, I am getting in touch with a nice young man on eBay regarding my Epic needs. He already has Malcador tanks, so I'll ask if he can hook me up with some more recent FW releases in God's own scale. re: recasters: Don't give GW money Getta and Mazinger are awesome but shift from a team dynamic to a single child. boom boom boom posted:Go Nagai, the creator of Mazinger Z, is the co-creator of Getter Robo. So they're cut from the same cloth. Super robots piloted by hosed up dudes fighting a crazy army of giant monster robots over the fate of the Earth. Specifically, Getter Robo Go has a much larger scope and a much more apocalyptic feel than Shin Mazinger Z Impact!, though. The whole world is fighting the evil monsters, so there's an international team of crazy robots piloted by bad people. Basically. boom boom boom posted:The American giant robot pilot in Getter Robo Go is pretty fun Well that is better than some Japanese media making THE JEWS

I think it's somewhat disingenuous to attempt to build a case for Attack on Titan being anti-semetic without mentioning the super-badass army leader who's killed more monsters than anybody and is always right and is named Levi

I can't claim it has any conscious anti-semitic agenda. No-one could say that Japanese creators are very conscious of addressing the delicacies of racial politics, however. As far as I recall, isn't Annie the only character with a non-anime-standard-nose in the entire world of the show? I was very disappointed that the only character with a somewhat interesting design was written out as a (highly telegraphed) traitor. I was surprised to learn that the creator said he was heavily influenced by Watchmen's Rorschach in creating Levi, though. I read that even before I saw his first episode, and I am still not sure how to place the influences. Edit: and actually, I would not at all put it past an manga writer completely missing the racial connotations of naming a character "Levi", and just using it as another western-style name.

Wasn't there an episode of Sienfield where they talk about anime? Like, George is dating some woman who is into anime and Kramer bursts into the room talking about Sailor Moon?anti_strunt posted:Here is a creator of non-recast, wholly original, but very appropriate Epic material: Or you could stop indirectly giving money to GW and play Dropzone commander.

Since it got rebooted I don't think Iv ever seen this thread actually discussing GW. We're back to anime now and soon we'll loop back to star wars and bad female minis and meanwhile warscrolls go unmocked.

The poses on those... lizards? I guess? The poses are really uninspired. I mean, three feet on the ground, one raised. it's the sort of thing you see in a $5 toy in Toys'R'Us. There are things I like about it, there are! I mean, big, stonkin', fire-breathing lizard, what's not to like? I'm getting a Chinese Dragon vibe off the thing, though, was that intentional? I think that's intentional. So many frills and wavy bits.

Did someone say X-Wing, but for historical tanks?    quote:US$25 – €22 – £17 By Battlefront, in 15mm, so presumably expandable to their entire line which you may already have. "Why didn't GW think of this?" "Why is it so cheap?" etc. The hits just keep on coming.

I like the camo colored plastic on the tanks. They are a good compromise between pre-painted and bare plastic.Irate Tree posted:The poses on those... lizards? I guess?

I also don't like the lizard $110 bucks worth. At least you can get 2 for 220, which is a great discount. I wonder if there is someone at GW who makes these bundles by making a chart of all the new models and rolling some dice. Double 2, time to see a two Archon bundle!

It is acceptable to give other companies money despite GW getting a small cut of it if you like their product.

I dunno, I was sure Vermintide was going to be forgettable shovelware and then it turned out to be an awesome co-op action game.

The entire total war series (from Medieval 2 to Rome 2) periodically goes on sale or humble bundle for as cheap as $15. Including most DLCs. You could get that instead cuz total warhammer is prob just gonna be a re-skin of Rome 2 + Shogun 2 (if we're lucky).

Give GW Money when it's good deals and business practices as a way of encouraging them to do things that are good for you. Don't Give GW Money when you're being hosed over, they're overcharging, or they're trying to exploit the consumer, as a way of letting them know that poo poo won't fly. Maybe if they see Firelawyer Nudistcolonies aren't selling, but cheap Tau bundles and high-effort video game licensing efforts are, their marketing efforts will shift as a result.

It's a total war game, so buying it at release is a chump move anyway. Wait until it's been out long enough to go on sale, and then buy it if people tell you it's good
