I can't speak for anyone else, but my problem with the level of detail is that it prevents my brain from turning the model into something cohesive. It's very pretty, but it never really resolves into something whole. I love the little details, but I'd prefer that they pop out after focusing on the model, rather than demanding attention immediately. This is all based off a single angle and a single paint job, so I don't want to be too down on the model! You're not a bad person for liking it. I think I just prefer the, by comparison, more muted 30k aesthetic.

I wonder if this means we'll get new LoC rules to accompany the new model, similar to the new Bloodthirster. AoS is clearly getting them, but I wonder if this means we'll see them for 40k? If so, the timing is really off, given that we just got the campaign supplement with Tzeentchian daemons.

I strongly doubt it. They specifically mention where the LoC rules can be found and mention the campaign books and the Thousand Sons codex for new Tzeentch spells and rules. It could all be moot come the new addition, though! PierreTheMime fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jan 10, 2017 |

My job can get pretty boring, so being able to burn most the shift away listening to people who are enthusiastic about the hobby chat away is nice. This is especially true since listening to audiobooks on politics and history is my usual thing, since I feel it is a good way to stay educated, has tended to get me down since the last election. Thanks for listening man!

Uroboros posted:There is nothing here that doesn't make you sound like a total twat. The only legitimate complaint raised is the difficulty of transport, this is otherwise a very nice looking model with a nice if not typical Tzeentch paint scheme. Agreed. I guess it's just an aesthetic choice but I saw this model and it blew my mind. To say it's a "poo poo model" I feel is really just tainted with hate for GW. I cannot wait to see what people do with this. Note that there are some legitimate, well thought out criticism of the model as well. But personally I love it!

At least with the old metal LoC you could stuff it in a sock and smack the poo poo out of that one catpiss neckbeard telling WAAAGH every turn at full decibel volume.

Here are my hobby goals for 2017: - Finish painting 2000 points of Mechanicum for Horus Heresy. - Finish painting 2000 points of Bloodbound for Age of Sigmar. - Finish painting 2000 points of Sigmarines for Age of Sigmar. - Finish painting my realm board for Age of Sigmar. - Finish my Knight house for 40k/30k. - Make progress on my Ad Mech army for 40k. - Have my Tau army finished by commission. - Play more games of 30k, 40k, and AoS. Preferably at least one game of each a month. - Finish painting my scourge for Dropzone. - Finish painting my PHR for Dropfleet. - Play more games of Dropzone and Dropfleet. \m/ This is all doable, but I can't do it if I were to buy another army, so hopefully nothing exciting comes out for any game this year.

Like Magnus, I don't mind too much how busy the model is, but it's stupid how BIG everything's getting. I don't play, but I do buy models just to paint, and that just seems like a nightmare.

These days the model is downright tiny. Like, why did the Toxicrene, Maleceptor, Exocrine and Haruspex all have to three times the mass of a Carnifex?

Endman posted:My biggest gripe with Magnus is his size. He should have been roughly twice as high as a Rubric marine imho. That's how big the Primarch models are already, and even pre-ascension, Magnus was supposed to be unusually big. I don't usually enjoy painting big models and I wish there were fewer of them (or at least that GW would spend less bandwidth on them), but I'm okay with things like Magnus and Imperial Knights and Valkyries and Stompas being the sizes they are. I do really dislike when the big models are so sprawling and fragile that making one essentially requires its own shelf/case.

I had an actual stress nightmare that I took on a commission to paint Magnus a few weeks ago. The new Lord of Change echoes that. I think it's a gorgeous model and the sculpting looks excellent, but I absolutely would not want to paint it. I can already feel that niggling feeling that I've missed a detail somewhere, and I need to turn over the model to find it. I uploaded this the other day, but I've made another Army Overview video for my Camhammer channel, and this one's about my Iron Warriors. I figured it was the right time, what with all the Chaos goodness coming out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdO5oIwhOv0

Even though I've seen those display-case photos with other models for scale, I have a hard time visualizing stuff with big protruding poo poo like those horns and wings.

I'm also more okay with something being fuckoff huge when you can only have one of them like Magnus. When a Tau player drops 3 of those fuckoff huge suits on the table its just like, goddamn. Are we even playing the same game? I guess you could have multiple of those daemons of change too, although it wouldn't make sense unless at a ridiculously high point value I'd think. Next GW will put out a formation that lets you take 3 Magnuses to boost sales.
