berzerkmonkey posted:You either pay or you don't. Your outrage at not having free rules is not going to cut into their bottom line. you typed outrage when the word youre looking for is mild amusement, mostly at the way you and some others keep carrying the flag for gw in spite of their lovely practices. my emotional investment in 40k is quite a bit lower than yours, probably due to not having spent thousands of dollars on stuff for it. i get why you want to defend gws honor in vain pointlessness against people you dont know and will never meet, because youve wrapped a substantial amount of your own identity up in their products but someone criticizing a company you like isnt a personal attack on you, and if you wanna shell out hundreds of bucks on the rules for a single game, then live your truth my man. i just wont be walking down that road with you

They do plenty of poo poo I disagree with. Whether or not you want to spend money on their products is your decision, and I don't give a poo poo one way or the other. Yeah, I own GW products, but it isn't an "identity" any more than you owning X-Wing models or whatever the gently caress game you play is your "identity." They happen to make some products I like (and many I don't.) You aren't hurting my feelings if you criticize them, but don't get butthurt when someone offers an opposing viewpoint. quote:i get why you want to defend gws

They happen to make some products I like (and many I don't.) you use a lot of loaded emotional words so im assuming youre a bit worked up, and you seem to be assigning the same amount of passion you put behind your feelings for gw to me. i dont hate gw, i think they charge too much for most of their stuff, and its a shame because they make some cool stuff. that's the limit of my feelings toward them also your insistence that no one is defending gw while you do so with the same breath is a lil weird

The Bee posted:Does FFG upload their cards for free, or does another source? If it's the latter, than this recent string of leaks is basically that situation. All the cards are in the FFG preview articles, but good luck finding them in their blog layout (that doesn't have tags).

I love when soneone focused on grammar rather than substance of what someone is trying to get across. Snide aside anyone can discuss GW an its practices good or ill an so on. But telling someone no they can't interact, or verbally flaying them for it, not cool. Also that tank jesus. Its just covered in details, guns, and junk its awful.

Turns out the speedraider is called Repulsor. I certainly am repulsed. It also has yet another missile launcher above the rear door. It's also different from all the others.

It's just such a good example of why I left- an obviously dumb decision praised for incomprehensible reasons.

It would look nice (to me) if it had less tandom detail all over. It looks like it has ammo boxes glued to the back an around 2-3 turret guns all clustered together.

Im curious if all those missiles and boxes are actually a part of the hull or if they are options that the model-builder was just like "Well I gotta show off everything..."

Corrode posted:I'm sure the game is good, but it wouldn't be competing for #1 wargame sales without the licence. The two go hand in hand. GW and 40K are also heavily dependent on brand recognition. If CB had released Infinity with the rules for 8th Edition 40K instead of releasing Infinity, they would have crashed. In terms of nerds that are into sci-fi table top gaming Warhammer and 40K are just as driven by brand recognition as X-wang is. The biggest difference is that FFG has the resources to market X-Wang and push it out in less niche stores. E: ALthough as I mentioned - my college sells Warhammer, Magic and a few board games. So GW isn't without it's reach either! (It's just not as long)

GW is great, Kung Fu Fist gently caress is a white noise poster that has finally sputtered enough to draw people's attention, and For Great Justice has obvious brain damage so don't make fun of him. Ok bye, have fun jerking each other off over how much you hate a company that makes little plastic mans you can build and paint.
