BA are pretty good right now. We just got a codex supplement called Angels Blade with some really fun formations. Highlights include the Lucifer Armored Task Force which is a few Predator Squadrons, a Land Raider Squadron and a tech marine. It gives every vehicle the fast and scout rules. There are two formations that allow making disordered charges after deep striking and some good stuff for Death Company as well. Overall it's a nice balanced army.

I managed to make a very basic army marine army under that codex but it not particularly unique or fun. It got trounced White Scars who were basically doing with bikes what I did with assault marines in 5th. Fought some Demons to a stand still. Wiped a chinese cast smurf army by the bottom of turn 4.

The end-times dont have to actually come, but it would be nice to have every faction get to an end-goal at once (providing plenty of giant expensive forgeworld figures in the process). I guess thats what happened in AoS but im guessing the sigmarines stuff wasn't foreshadowed or alluded to and felt like a copout? That would actually make for a good and sensible starting point for 7th ed IMO. "Here's a bunch of awesome new stuff, but its in a new edition so your smaller stuff can still be played 'pre-armageddon'

Neurolimal posted:I guess thats what happened in AoS but im guessing the sigmarines stuff wasn't foreshadowed or alluded to and felt like a copout? Warhammer had about 6 months of end times releases that culminated with a book that had the whole universe being destroyed by chaos and a big THE END. Then there was three months of people fire selling their armies on eBay. Then they release the AoS starter box and a 4 page rule book that had nothing to do with the large unit rank and flank game that the Warhammer fan base had been playing for 25 years. It's a textbook example of the worst possible way you can launch a product and resulted in the previous CEO getting sacked. They annihilated a game and thoroughly poisoned the existing player base to the point where not only did they not convert well to the new game, but tons of them (myself included) actively evangelize against it.

Age of Sigmar is a pretty drat good game, I was sour as gently caress for almost a year after the end times ended but I am enjoying the gently caress out of it now(The General's compendium helps a lot). Although I will agree we have basically none of our old players, but it's crazy how many new people are getting into AOS because of the much smaller model counts. So anyway if you guys want help to do a thread I can also help with content, I play it every week.

The thing is that any group of a certain size is going to have a very small subsection of morons, simply because that group is now just a microcosm of society in general. It's like any sample size - the larger the sample, the more chance you're going to find a particular identifier. Dumb poo poo like swastikas and confederate flags stand out the same way a guy in a red shirt stands out in a room full of gray shirts, and the human brain is wired to remember and focus on things that are out of place.

"Wrath of Magnus," eh? Good to know it culminates in his complete defeat after spending the majority of the setting lording over the heroes and chewing scenery. It might just be me, but after Khan and Arthas that is my expectation for "Wrath of X" storylines.

Odds on Magnus being beaten on a complete asspull ala: Arthas and Tirion Fordring? Though tbh, I'm rather expecting Arhiman to stab Magnus in the back and become high poobah of the Thousand Sons.

You'll spoil some people but it's hard to win 6 games in a row. All I can do is dig for skyfire and pray.  We are like 1/8th of the field. I'm sure you'll bump into someone. My next list though Twig.

My only complaints are the voice lines being too frequent and not sounding like the Terminators from the Dawn of War games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mZsmjZaQhQ I also think the locational damage on the player is really cool but you seem to die so easily and heal so easily that it'll probably never really come into effect :/ That aside, yeah, game looks dope. Gets the look and feel of Space Hulk down, and getting to issue orders to the NPC dudes is a cool way to touch on Space Hulk's roots, even if it's not as complex as like, Rainbow Six's commands.

Safety Factor posted:Infuriatingly, from a business perspective, GW missed a perfect license tie-in opportunity with Total War Warhammer. Games like that take years, they knew it was coming. They could have released 9th edition this year before the game hit and had new rules and a starter set ready to go for fresh/old players lured into stores by pretty pixels. Instead, you have people wandering in and being told that that world has been replaced by a new setting and Funny enough though  Oh man that generic "Freeguild general" sure has an interesting KF symbol on its chest, and that griffon sure does look like Deathclaw... and that looks like The warhammer. But nah he's just some random general, total coincidence  (Not disagreeing with you, just adding that they even still have KF's model for sale, just not called KF, and how silly that is) Guy Goodbody posted:I did it. I painted some Warhammer 40,000 miniatures. My first ever attempt at painting minis. These are the dudes from the Space Marine + Paint set. The white and black paints in there were dry, some replacements are on their way from GW customer service but I got impatient. So I still need to come back and hit up the shoulder pad details with white and the gun side plates with black. I also got some silver and light blue in case I got ambitious and tried panel lining. Which I did, on the middle guy, to disastrous results. That's some drat fancy edge highlighting if those are really your first ever painted space barbies! Good work.

I am enjoying new GW but I have two requests of it: 1) at some point in its breakneck "LOOK IT'S YOUR OLD FAVORITES!" GameMasterAnthony strategy of product release, it would be cool if they made rules that non-Eldar, non-Tau xenos can enjoy. 2) it would be super good if Games Workshop remembered 40K was dark satire and not fascist wankbait. White nationalism is gripping the western world, I just want a little self reflection from the design team before they release the next Kristallnacht-pattern 88 Thunder Stormer that rerolls hits against single mothers.

I really liked Vermintide and have been in agony waiting for Deathwing ever since the Rise of the Terminators trailer, but watching that gameplay footage I've transitioned all the way from "holy poo poo holy poo poo" to "meh, I guess I should at least give it a shot before calling it poo poo". Maybe it's just one of those games that doesn't make for good spectating. The lovely and constant voice acting sure as hell didn't help, especially since it's inevitably going to get compared to Vermintide at every turn.Snollygoster posted:2) it would be super good if Games Workshop remembered 40K was dark satire and not fascist wankbait.

It's pretty clear there are still large elements of dark humour in the setting. Also look at some of the Genestealer Cult models - you can tell there's a bit of subtle whimsy there. I'm thinking of e.g. The acolyte with two sticks of dynamite and a sweet rear end 90s cyberpunk visor.
