Macdeo Lurjtux posted:It's a real life mystic thing. Ur was one of the very first cities in recorded human history so Ur-"object" tends to be used to denote its status as a primal or original form. This was one thing I wondered about myself, but ur- the prefix (meaning "original") and Ur the city don't seem to be etymologically linked. Kind of cool that the ur-city is Ur, though.

Especially since Mesopotamia is now Iraq, Syria, and the southern edge of Turkey, and anything that hasn't been destroyed is basically impossible to visit right now if you value your health and life.

If any of you guys actually want one of those Rogue Trader reprints and can't get your hands on them, I've just been in Warhammer World and they have some for sale there. I can but and post out if needed (y'all should be cool like me and still have your own original Rogue Trader softback).

Bad Moon posted:I have a staff member who got into painting and playing 40K by her husband and she has a cool looking eldar army that is like harlequins or something I haven't played since 5th that she enjoys stomping smelly warhams who don't think women can play. Anyway, I don't know how I should or even have the heart to break the coming Sigmaring of her game. Maybe I'll just show some pics of Infinity figs. She uh did not react well to the idea of Aeldari

Jeb Bush 2012 posted:I can just about understand preferring the models but 40k has loving terrible rules wtf Oh, it totally does. But everything I've tried otherwise, like Infinity, just feels even slower and full of nitpicky bullshit. And then, on the other end, there's stuff like AoS which is basically just "toss a bunch of dice i don't know who cares". I just haven't found any game that strikes that balance to my liking.

Cinnamon Bear posted:Its funny when the favorable comparison is warhammer but Infinity can feel basically impenetrable Yeah I've tried to play it but it's very dense and your first couple of games are basically moving a guy, getting AROd to death, and repeating that process until you are out of dudes. And don't get me loving started on camo/stealth models.

Like your first couple of 40k games might be running against a death star which laugh at everything you can throw to it et raze you. And don't let me get started on the various rules within rules.
