Ghost Leviathan posted:Reading old 2000AD is fun because you can see where Warhammer got it all from in the first place. Nemesis the Warlock is pretty much where they nicked everything from. Also a fun one where the humans are antagonists, and the hero is the titular warlock who clowns on their xenophobic theocracy and I'm pretty sure fucks human women. And he's a magic alien space dragon. Games Workshop from what I can remember actually made Judge Dredd figures.

I'm pretty much set there:        Lots of fun things in those old books. Not remotely worth what they run on eBay now or possibly original MSRP even given how Games Workshop charges absurd prices for everything though. But fun. (Not shown is my 4-5th era Warhammer Fantasy books.) But Deff Skwadron is worth 300 plus now? Like even the N Gage 40k title isn't that nutty. I mean I own both at og price and honestly it's about what they are worth goddamn collectors are out of their minds. Nice to know my dork stuff bought over the years is functionally a second or third 401k I guess?

brand new latest tech sure. completely unnecessary for the hobbyist cranking out 28 mm figs. i bought both my sla printers used for a couple hundred CAD each. the secondary market for these is nuts. they were practically new, 1 year post manufacture. i could go buy more right now for similar deep discounts if i wanted

lotta peeps do buy them expecting to press a button and get a model. they're capital goods for doing work, which is basically what you have to do to get a good print

bob dobbs is dead posted:lotta peeps do buy them expecting to press a button and get a model. they're capital goods for doing work, which is basically what you have to do to get a good print the effort is definitely understated, agreed. between calibration, supporting and slicing, and post processing, it can be more work than some bargain for. but my printers paid for themselves within a couple weeks and are amortized completely printing figs for pennies on the dollar now

Even the crappy PLA/maybe ABS 3D printer I bought 10 years ago can squeeze out decent models. It just takes time messing around with settings and running test prints.

i used to work for a dealio that sold software (completely unrelated corporate office software) to these peeps https://sintavia.com/manufacturing/ who make aerospace components (in their case, for actual missiles) with fuckoff huge metal 3d printers. so you can make tiny little plastic missiles while they make the real missiles

Rather like how the new AdMech stuff looks like it comes out of another genre. Kinda the whole theme that they hoard technology and ideas from the rest of the Imperium that no one else even remembers exists.

Funny thing is that I'm pretty sure there's a good chunk of Dark Eldar that would love to talk about the process in far too much detail. They once captured Fabius Bile, of the Emperor's Children, the Chaos Space Marine mad scientist who wears a lab coat made of human skin. They got along so well they exchanged notes and let him go.

I remember knowing nothing about warhammer or warhammer 40k and then playing Dawn of War for the first time and being like "whoa this is a pretty badass game, it's got asymmetric sides like starcraft but it's 4 races instead of 3 this is amazing!" I was much happier then, I wish I could go back to only knowing Dawn of War

I have not been into warhammer since...around 3rd edition, but during black friday sales or something last year, I saw this guy on sale for nearly half off while I was rooting around for transformers on sale: and then BBTS recently had this boxed set on sale for 95 bucks, so now I have five spess mehreen action figures, and actual action figures proper  these are basically Inquisitor-scale figures, right? you could probably run a game of Inquisitor with these. except these are plastic and not metal, so they don't weigh like a pound each lol

Anyway they were loving amazing books. they did a print to order of Rogue Trader last year that had a window to order for a week. It's a better copy than the original, it doesn't fall apart anymore. Copies are going for like three yards on ebay now.
