Chill la Chill posted:Hm, this sounds exactly like the plan from way back in 3rd edition, but I wasn't around for that. Didn't they have the internet campaign (and 2+ people per store) back then? Third edition was when I got in and was easily the most fun era of 40k imo

Indolent Bastard posted:I guess. I play orks, so I don't much care. Also LOL if you play with anyone but friends/cool bros, and hopefully at someone's house (with beer). For some people the FLGS or a local club are the only places a game can be had, which is why a game that's just barely well written enough to be houseruled between friends over beer in a basement into some semblance of effectiveness isn't close to being actually well written.

The newer ork bikes are cool, though. They look appropriately ramshackle and Mad Max

I play with friends even though we have tons of local FLGS and GW stores around if we wanted to play with strangers. And even then we've split the 40k starter (discounted, only $70 total after we sold the rulebook) to use for other games because at putting up with looking up bullshit rules getting in the way of our gaming.

TheChirurgeon posted:The newer ork bikes are cool, though. They look appropriately ramshackle and Mad Max They just don't do anything for me. I don't like where the guns are, I don't like all the bits, and I hate how they've painted it so the legs of the rider vanish into the vehicle. A big appeal of the Gorkamorka bike is that it didn't have the side guns, it was just a dude on a bike with a pistol.

berzerkmonkey posted:You realize this was a choice, right? Someone left the guns off, because the kit came with the side guns. Yes, I get that it was based on the plastic kit of the time. It also included some neat metal components and the marketing was based around showing it as a cool dude on a cool bike for a cool game.

Indolent Bastard posted:95% compared to some other games? Maybe. But compared to 7th ed. they are a big improvement. The thing is, 30k is proof that 7th was mostly fine before GW's design team kept bolting things onto it. The same people who did that are also working on 8th.

Fathis Munk posted:I habe the feeling that the very different quality of painting makes this post a tad disingenuous The first bike is Rogue Trader era. The second is a conversion that borrows design elements from 2e and Gorkamorka, such as the trakks.

Fathis Munk posted:I habe the feeling that the very different quality of painting makes this post a tad disingenuous I honestly tried to find an image of an old Ork bike that was larger than a postage stamp, but couldn't. I thought about the painting disparity, but decided to post anyway, as the image sizes were pretty close. I mean, there are parts of the old bikes that I liked, and I still have a pile of them in the basement ready for GM. That said, the newer bikes are just better. EDIT: Found one: Better paint job, still not a better model than the new bikes. Atlas Hugged posted:The first bike is Rogue Trader era.

Iron Crowned posted:Sorry, this bike rules Didn't say it was bad, just that new ones are better. But, as Atlas Hugged likes to point out, it is a conversion, so I guess it's discredited?

berzerkmonkey posted:Good lord, it's a FW Nob bike, not a conversion. I'm sorry I don't have extensive knowledge of the GW range not mentioned on their website. Also if it was a conversion it wouldn't count. Anyone can make an awesome conversion and it has nothing to do with the models being sold.

Atlas Hugged posted:I'm sorry I don't have extensive knowledge of the GW range not mentioned on their website. "Good lord" was more my frustration with your response, as opposed to you not knowing the entire GW line. I don't think the older bikes are terrible - it's mostly their riders that suck and make the entire model look bad. But, the new bikes are ramshackle and spiky, and are proper Orky.

I also don't have a FLGS with gaming tables within an hours drive, which means I have to hit up one of the three clubs here.

I don't think the older bikes are terrible - it's mostly their riders that suck and make the entire model look bad. But, the new bikes are ramshackle and spiky, and are proper Orky. My point still stands though, a dynamic paint job and design elements borrowed from a model I actually like make that one way better than the offering you'd find on the GW site. For reference this is the version I like. I think the rider is fine. He doesn't have a stupid WW1 hat.
