Der Shovel posted:For a moment it looked like the Garden of Morr had finally been taken out of rotation, and I was a bit upset since I never got around to buying it. But no, it turns out they just chucked two of them and some extra crap in the same package and called it a "Sigmarite Mausoleum". The Garden of Morr owns, i used it last year to made halloween terrain for Dropzone Commander. The little crypts work nicely as spooky cathedrals at 10mm.

AgentF posted:Fair enough. If they're willing to make substantial changes to the game mechanics to make things better then that deserves a little respect, even if I don't actually expect the results to be any good unless they replaced all their rules writers as well, or learnt a million lessons from AoS. Haha, poo poo, am I reading that right that they are setting up a Blood Angels-Khorne axis? LordAba posted:Yup. That pretty bad of them; really loved the HD models - one of the few sources for cool fantasy Saracens. What happened?

Worst case scenario, they are. Best case scenario, their recurring nemesis is basically telling Hive Fleet Leviathan "back off bitch, they're mine." Still, it was all resolved really lamely.

AFAIK Ninja Division bought the rights for Anima and HD, basically didn't bother distributing it properly, then threw their hands up and said 'welp, these aren't selling well so we're discontinuing them, go buy our anime titty and tentacle rape games instead, lol thx bye.'

There was this really cool Hell Dorado model that I was thinking about using for an Inquisitor back when I thought I'd be playing 40k at least a little. Then I found out the product line had folded like a year previous

Yeah, the marketing was horrendous. I always imagined that Anima would go away (since they had their own anime game to publish) but Hell Dorado was unique enough and was established enough as a ruleset that they could have worked on it without impact too many other things.

Then I found out the product line had folded like a year previous The models for Hell Dorado were excellent. I had this same experience. I can't recall what the puppeteer model was called but for me it was that one and the gluttony models. I also got the big wrath model. I had to go to Noble Knight games who are based in the U.S. who stock a lot of out of print stuff. If you are in the States that is probably easier but for me in the UK in was expensive. I don't regret it though because the models are great!

Theres a line even in the death thread, Pawl. Come the gently caress on man. I visited WHW on a random weekday earlier this year and the place was completely empty. Alan was sat in Bugmans for a few hours chilling out, sometimes chatting to a couple of people sometimes just fiddling with paperwork. I really regret not saying hi.

I haven't seen this before: https://www.devil-pig-games.com/en/warhammer-40000-debarque-dans-le-heroes-system/ Apparently some kind of chit based 40k war game? It took me a lot longer than it should have for me to figure out exactly what this product or company was.

Just came to post my hot take that the bigmars look just as bad as marines, just bigger and with more poo poo bolted on. It's really jarring looking at the new dreadnaught next to a chaos dreadnaught. I don't imagine that the new small scale chaos marine players are super stoked to be the bad little brothers to the bigmars/new scale space marines. Hope this helps!

I don't play marines but I'm okay with big mans as far as modeling goes. You're entitled to your opinion of course. However, I don't understand why nuGW felt it was necessary to justify them with new cringeworthy background material instead of simply going "here's truescale marines, lol"

Soulfucker posted:However, I don't understand why nuGW felt it was necessary to justify them with new cringeworthy background material instead of simply going "here's truescale marines, lol" Yeah. The background for them is so dumb. They even could have done interesting stuff with old Marines getting mad about being replaced, or having the Bigmarines basically being flesh robots that need regular Marine officers to lead them. But no. Being able to guzzle that sweet, sweet geneseed and grow big and strong really takes away a lot of potential interesting storylines.

TTerrible posted:Theres a line even in the death thread, Pawl. Come the gently caress on man. The one time I spoke to him he seemed lovely. I'm glad I got to tell him that the Badab War IAs are my favourite works in 40k. He mentioned then, and later in response to other people during seminars that he wanted to do something with the Nova Terra Interegnum period. That was back before Heresy kicked off as I recall. It occurred to me this morning that we'll never get that Interregnum story from him, and that really sucks. TTerrible posted:Theres a line even in the death thread, Pawl. Come the gently caress on man. Nah see, it's funny. He made a joke that's funny. See? Why isn't anyone laughing? Eh? He made a joke about the early and unexpected death of a guy who brought a lot of people a great deal of pleasure. That's hilarious. MAGA.

That reminds me of the seminar at Games Day 2011(12?) when the first HH book came out. In response to a question about Xenos in the future roadmap, he said that they'd love to do a book about the non-imperial side of the great crusade, be it Xenos or isolated humans but it'd come after the actual heresy is dealt with and there is a hell of a lot to cover. So no, there are not going to be orks in book 2.

But no. Symbiosis, two normal marines fuse to make a big marine. That way you could just glue two of your regular marines together to get one. Or they dug up a bigger suit, and the regular marine in his armor gets sealed in. When the bigmarine armor breaks, the littler marine is released.

It covered an entire 19-wave invasion in a few brief paragraphs, followed by a Warpstorm teleporting the Leviathan fleets away, Gulliman Deus Ex Machina-ing out of nowhere to wipe their remaining ground forces, and the Bloodthirster Ka'bandah stacking Tyranid skulls in what amounts to a post credits scene. Everything was just way too rushed, and Gulliman in particular came out of nowhere to a ridiculous extent.

I know I'm in the minority, but I just find most of the Heresy stuff to be pretty boring. Like it's initially interesting to see rules for the legions, and some parts of it are cool, but then it gets dragged on for a dozen years or more with constant retcons and changes and hextuple-crosses by Alpharius and I've lost most of my interest. I'd rather see the Laer at this point

The next book, Angelus is going to start on the early days of the dark mechanicum so that might have some crazy stuff in it. Still humans being dicks tho.
