I like the bigly marines. I will probably buy some. It probably means almost never finishing my Minotaurs tho. They look cool, I like the poses, especially on the sergeant models.

I've never gotten the appeal of 40K fluff. It's always made me need a bath after more than three paragraphs. Seriously, why the gently caress does wargaming as a hobby have to represented by a setting that wanks to religious genocide on every other page? If there's anything we've learned from GW's "delightful" staff profiles, it's that the writing is not as ironic as you think it is.

Loxbourne posted:I've never gotten the appeal of 40K fluff. It's always made me need a bath after more than three paragraphs. Because at one point it really was ironic. It was based on Nemesis The Warlock and had the same view on society as Judge Dredd. You have an Ork Warlord named after Margaret Thatcher. The punk aesthetic was a big part of early 40k. The Imperium as explicit good guys was not the idea.

40k (and that's also true of Warhammer) doesn't have a single trace of irony in it. It's all meant to be taken extremely seriously, especially the stupid parts. The fluff of 40k is about the joy of seeing every story ever mashed together in a pile, and the cool and weird stuff that comes out from it.

Moola posted:i might buy some biglys if they're reasonably priced  In actual wargaming discussion though (not empty posting), I guess scrappers is labelled ~Not Good~ by the goon hivemind? Or is it worth spending funbux on? Trip report on SW:A. It really is Necromunda. Some parts are still lovely for unknown reasons. Some parts are less lovely (I find that ammo rolls and the injury chart being reduced as it has been actually is good, and removed the cruft in the injury system, and made the ammo system less penalising to players, allowing more diverse weapons loadouts than ~lasguns and heavy stubbers~), and some parts are more lovely (I preferred the granularity of the Necromunda exp system, so this is a subjective view, but it seems irritating to me in regards how many/how often troops level up - although in both this case, and the points purchasing market section, I get that it was done as an effort to curtail some players leaping ahead of others too quickly). I haven't double checked my copy, but I think the underdog stuff might be gone too? It's all still necromunda under the hood though, so ymmv if you actually want a good game out of it.

I think Chill la Chill is the only goon to read Scrappers so far, so no goon consensus yet.

They'll look good in a game of Shadow War or something, when they can stand in as what an actual Marine would look like to a normal human sized trooper.

Starter box marines had a lot of appeal to me back when I was getting into 40k and the idea was that I would be using them to quickly flesh out a force that I would continue to build up over time with the larger variety of sculpts/poses from 'real' kits. Not sure if that applies so much anymore.

I'm here to chat post whether or not GW is cool and good or bad and dumb. I'll probably hit up the local GW store sometime and see if they have any painting competitions going on and get kicked out for painting in the shop with vallejo droppers.
