I think my main rule about this thread in particular is that I never try to be or take anything too serious. I get why people don't like oversexed models, it's immature bordering on the creepy like that Kingdom Death stuff.

I don't know why you guys like those sculpts. They're kinda melty looking. Some of the others in that range are a little better, but they're pretty much all making this face for some reason: D:

Of course, I'm ignoring the weird proportions since "heroic scale" is pretty common (much to my dismay), so I can see why you'd default to that for smaller ranges of figures.

Yes please. Gimme muscle men and Eschers. Necromunda was the last time GW* had an inspired human aesthetic (the 30k stuff is cool, but it's all space marines).

* in 40k at least. Fantasy had lots of cool human designs, but it doesn't exist any more, and there still weren't a ton of lady warriors =/

The Games Workshop is Bad thread always meanders during the interstitial periods in between the periodic episodes of GW doing something dumb or cringeworthy or bad. Don't worry. Eventually GW will do another thing for us to chat about, it's inevitable.

It's one of those things where no matter how tongue in cheek you think you are sometimes someone's gonna believe you. The good news is that I'm fine with people taking me wrong and as a resulting disliking me, it's been the defining aspect of my life.

Except he didn't and the tells were pretty obvious. Being able to guess when someone is making a joke in a textual medium is a pretty essential skill for being a part of internet communities.

This is when boom3 used to post the gundams intermittently and it was a good commercial break for the thread until GW did something again. But we don't have that now.

Ok, ok. Have some synthwave:

It's like metal since a lot of synthwave artists also play in metal bands. Also it's Satanic, which is something I think we can all support.

What was the last Bad thing GW did? Setting aside the FFG partnership falling through, because no one knows what actually happened there. It's been a while, hasn't it? What if GW has turned into just a company that produces overpriced miniatures for poorly designed games?

What if the constant stream of absurd, short-sighted, and customer-insulting business decisions... is over?

I wrote those off as poster idiosyncrasy.

Because I thought he was joking when he said he played AoS but then realized he was serious but now I'm second guessing myself on that too

So basically it's like what Leperflesh says, it really is all about knowing the person making the joke. Also, good vid.
