Yeah "death thread" is a TG slang word that really just means "in this thread you can discuss GW without having to be constantly engaging for multiple pages with GW's ardent defenders." Unfortunately that idea has been thoroughly dispelled in recent months; there is no way to create and maintain such a space.
you might say it's no longer...safe

So I'm curious about 8th edition and one question hangs over it like the sword of damocles.

Has the playtime been shortened? I remember 5-6 hour horror shows of nothing happening that previously constituted a game of 40k and I don't want to be involved in that poo poo ever again. Can we now bang out a game of 40k in 2-4 hours like a reasonable human being with a life would want to or is it still an all day or day and a half affair

I dunno how you'd manage to make a normal game of 40k last 5 hours to begin with

The 5-6 hour games were the Apocalypse expansion poo poo probably where each side is just dumping models on the table. Super long and boring games if you don't have time limits or you have rules questions

"You don't have to play with higher points" is what you'll hear but the apocalypse stuff is now standard in the game. Everyone has giant robots and giant tanks.

I don't think any of that stuff still has really Apocalypse levels kinds of rules that it used to have, but they're also pretty expensive to take in normal games, too. The Stompa is 900 points before wargear.

The people at the local store have been playing 2 games in the 5ish hour window of our game night so yeah it seems faster.

I'm subtracting 2.4 points for plugging three things into the zygomatic, which is just solid bone. It's not realistic.

However that's still a solid A, well done good job.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.



The steampunk look does not compliment the skull very well. 5/10. A good skeleton knows good fashion and what best compliments it's spookiness.
