On the subject of the gamebooks, I used to have a sighed Warhammer fantasy 4th edition rulebook signed by Ian Jackson and Steve Livingstone and I gave it away when I hit the "sportswear, Lynx and rave tapes" portion of adolescence and got embarrassed.

lol they just announced that all of the Stormcast models from the launch of Age of Sigmar are getting replaced with new kits that look less embarrassing

If you want these fuckin guys, you better act quick

that looks better. Idk. Sigmar always seemed way too, idk High fantasy for my taste. like old world was never low fantasy but i always prefered holy roman empire but also litteral hell exists and ratmen below and etc. like the gods are real and help but its also less upfront. idk. sigmar misses kinda the grimdarkness silly i like and more just silly. to each their own.

They've brought back that vibe a bit with the recent Cities of Sigmar range and the upcoming Chaos Darkoath range

That trailer is p. sweet, and seeing a girl hit things with a hammer must make certain James Workshop fans seethe

Primaris-ing the models is a good move too

Why do they insist on having so many quick cuts in an action sequence its animation you aren't trying to hide wires and poo poo

Fantasy lady space marines (space maries?) are cool that fuckin direction sucks poo poo

when you get down to it, can space marines even be called 'male' after so much generic modification? do they even have a full dick and balls, canonically?

I assume they harvest the super-tough genitalia to make extra strong leather goods and maybe high tensile strength flexible conduits and such.

There’s a lot of grim darkness in AoS, it’s just not immediately obvious unless you get into the lore. The thing is, the Mortal Realms are inimical to human life. It rains razors in the Realm of Metal. In the Realm of Beasts, the land itself will sometimes just eat a village. In the Realm of Shadow you can walk into a shadow and never be seen again. It’s a very fun setting but it’s not as obviously entertaining as 40k and there’s no really good on ramp

I think they're chemically or mentally castrate

Maybe not the emperors children

yeah. i feel like there are lots of interesting ideas but it also feels to dndish mixed with like you said, no good on ramp. 40k can have issues with that too but their are a bunch of books and series that give a pretty good on ramp.

I liked Fantasy more as a kid, because there were more hosed-up little guys compared to 40K that, at that time, had like 8 types of chunky armour guys, Elves, but space, Chaos, but space, and Orcs, but space augmented by aforementioned Judge Dredds and Marines from Aliens. And the Aliens from Aliens, I guess. Space Hulk was cool.

Fantasy had rat dudes and ziggurat dwarves and skeletons and poo poo. Just hosed up guys galore that made sense by looking at them. 40K felt like it needed homework to explain why I couldn't paint my Space Marines pink because it's funny.

Edit: is Terminator armour still a thing? I feel I never see it.

my favorite thing about the realm of beasts is that the continents look like they have fangs and mouths. Because they do, and are trying to eat each other.
