If GW is advancing the story into M42 it makes sense anyway, since eventually

I’m cautiously optimistic with the 9th stuff. I run guard and was initially a bit shitted off with troops being de-emphasised and a brigade being not as useful as a CP store, but it’s looking more well rounded. Question for the group, do we think they’re going to re-print every single 1st founding Space Marine Chapter again in 9th Ed? It feels like that was a really odd spike in the long history of codecies.

Is nice for them finally to flat out say no chuds misogyny racists etc are not welcome in no uncertain terms. They've made it subtle in the past an chuds thought it didn't apply to them, hard to ignore it now. They will not be missed. gently caress chuds.

Has there been anything to address the specific treatment Josh Mallett received, as detailed in the goonhammer article today?

I in no way want to diminish the man's experience or feelings, but what does "the black guy at the end of Avengers" mean? It clearly made him felt unwelcomed, and his feelings are valid and deserve to be addressed. I haven't seen Avengers since it came out and don't understand the context of what that meant or how it's bad. In other words, I'm trying to ask sincerely how that was racist - not dismissively asking "pffft how was that racist?" if that makes sense. E: I'm probably focusing too much on the Avengers part and not "the black guy" part

moths posted:I in no way want to diminish the man's experience or feelings, but what does "the black guy at the end of Avengers" mean? I had to dig into this a bit earlier today since I have not seen a single avengers movie in the last decade. At the end of Avengers: Endgame, there's a scene with old Captain America passing on his shield to a younger character to carry on the "role," and the character in question is black. The actor in question bears a very slight resemblance Josh Mallett. If I understand the situation correctly, the remark comes across as expressing the sentiment that "all people of color look alike," with the person expressing it being a white presenter in front of a mostly white audience, who then laughed. I may be mistaken but that is my inference having watched the instagram post and googled some Endgame footage. Legendary Ptarmigan fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Jun 5, 2020 |

So I got my Space Marine action figure a week or two ago and I'm pretty happy with it. Then this morning another package arrives and uhh. I got another one?? I know I didn't order two but hell I'll take it.

Regarding the "Cut Them Down" strat: While it's better than the current scenario of your dudes just letting the other guys just walk away, I can't help but feel it's lackluster. Only one unit gets to do it due to it being a stratagem and even if it's a squad of 30 you'll only average 5 wounds. I'm just comparing to Overwatch that gets to do it as much as they want as long as the unit isn't already engaged.

Maybe he meant the Wakandans showing up? Whatever he meant, the most positive spin which can be put on it is that it was racism arising from ignorance and a lack of interaction with POC, rather than spite. So best case, it's unmistakably racist crap and GW ought to move aggressively.

Maybe Overwatch will be the same concept now. They did say it was changing and that there's 7 core strats. Entirely possible that this is in addition to reverse overwatch or some way of preventing people from disengaging too. But yeah if overwatch is mostly the same and this is the only boost to preventing fall back, it is kind of lackluster

The idea of 30 gretchin dealing 5 mortal wounds to a dreadnought attempting to leave combat is enough to make me happy.

Maneck posted:I'm not seeing a resemblance to Anthonie Mackie. Oh I agree. Beyond the fact that Mackie has a short beard for the film (as Mallett does) there is very little there. Calling their resemblance "very slight," "passing," or even "tenuous" may be overly generous to the situation.

I can see how that seemed like it was contradicting you, whereas I intended agreement that any explanation is grasping at straws. Sorry!

There were some tweets from James Hewitt a few hours back about how at least up until fairly recently GW didn't even like their employees talking about things on social media that weren't warhammer minis. So, while the statement is kinda weaksauce in a vacuum (they don't mention black people or police violence et al), that they made a statement at all, let alone one rebuking an uncomfortably sizeable portion of their fanbase, feels kinda big?

The Jumpoff posted:The idea of 30 gretchin dealing 5 mortal wounds to a dreadnought attempting to leave combat is enough to make me happy. Yeah, it's interesting really because it does give some teeth to big blob units if you try to run away, but interestingly it isn't just "pick a unit and they do it" it's "all models within engagement range". This means say you counter charge something with multiple squads of guardsmen, it's not actually too hard to force a position where if someone falls back you can get a similar effect. A useful against units that can shoot and fall back. I doubt my guardsmen would live long enough to be a threat while falling back that you can't just kill with guns and my Grey Knights will probably mash anything the paladins fight and the MSU strike squads will likely get pasted by a thing remotely tough in combat anyway. Good against little shits like T'au though who will want to engage and fall back with crisis suits.
