one more example:


i do not like this model because there are an awful lot of details that don't really add to the overall design and its difficult to tell what's going on at a glance because of how the shapes are broken up. mixing vampires and ghosts is maybe muddling the themes a bit too much as well. it could work if you broke this idea into two (or more!) models, maybe one with ghostly riders and another with vampires chilling out?

steps to talking about a game's models (this works even if you haven't played the game!!)

the first step is you look at a sculpt and then the second step is you say whether you like it or you don't like it

for example:


i like this model because he is a cool skeleton man who looks like he is having a fun time being a skeleton. the proportions are pretty good and the overall design reads well, although maybe he could have a scarier pose (but then he wouldn't look like he's having so much fun)

Sexy corsets and titplate aside those look okay. I mean you couldn't play with or transport them without pinning but they're decent and look okay to paint.

I'm not trying to be a dick or "hate GW for the sake of hating it" this thread is just the place for Hams and ex-Hams who have fallen out with GW and suddenly there's loads of super defensive posters in here anxious to defend GWs honour.

I genuinely don't think GW has improved enough for that response, that's just my opinion. Otoh if I thought they were capable of writing good rules I'd have bought a genestealer cult army in a split second so I get why some people are happy with them.

Let's play a game of chess - I'm going to use bottlecaps though, since I forgot my pieces at home. Trust me when I tell you what they represent, ok? It's just a game, am I rite?

For the most part, everyone has the actual models. There are a few differences, but Epic is also a game of weapon approximations for the most part, so your 6mm LAVs don't differ too much from my 6mm Chimera. That being said, I played a game of Epic against a guy last week who had a beautiful Knight army made up entirely of Ork conversions. The models were great and full of character, but I didn't know what the gently caress I was looking at. I couldn't tell unit types at all (other than the fact that they were Knights) and did not have a great time playing against that army.

Agree that this is annoying, but it would be better solved by GW not using true line of sight. But here we are

Also it depends on the context. I played in a 4 player game awhile back where this was the proxy being used for the Necron Deceiver C'Tan and it was hilarious

sure here's a catalogue to order the right models

The one big thing infinity is missing from its anime lineup and needs to address due to its popularity is an intergalactic pop idol singing group. It really needs a group of 3-9 idols singing like Minmay or idolmaster/love live.

I think that's because you are seeing one group responding to the clearly improved 'sorta new GW' and some that are too far gone.

For me, Genestealer Cults, Shadow War, Generals Handbook are all good poo poo. I have agreed with most of the moves they have made recently and I'm invested enough in the games already that I'm willing to try again.

I guess this is just straight agree-to-disagree territory because I generally love good conversions and I've never usually found it hard to see substitutes.

In the spirit of "saying something nice about GW" the celestine is actually a decent sculpt, but in keeping with the general thrust of GW's improvements she's also a trap choice for a dead faction to milk people who haven't accepted that yet. Also how the gently caress do you get her to a game? She'd need her own personal case.

these soldiers are pretty basic but i like them overall too

Lol do you really not see a difference?

I can't tell if it is because it was your game comparison or if you are just that big of a loving retard? Rhetorical question by the way, I don't need anymore of your snarky and misguided replies honestly, especially from someone who thinks because your Space Marine is modeled with a Heavy Bolter that I am even going to attempt let you roll it as a lascannon. Ha get the gently caress out of here with that. Are you really that loving poor that you can't log onto your eBay and shuffle through your "Watch List" full of 25% off Hot Topic apparel to purchase some extra Heavy support Marines to switch out?


Wrong.

The heavy armour guys in this are the only infinity models i particularly like. Shame the ladies are still... yeah... better but... yeah.

I am 100% on board for conversions, and I'll play a converted army any day of the week. The problem comes when, again, someone wants to sub in their, say, Bolt Action army for 40K. If you can do a 1:1 swap for special weapons ("this Panzerfaust guy is a missile launcher") I'm cool with that. My issue comes from trying to keep track of both my army and what the other guy's models are supposed to represent ("these identical Panzers are actually armed differently.")
