So we have Henry Cavill, he's a big star and a big nerd who is genuinely into this type of thing. How should we use him? I know, let's make episodes that don't follow one particular character at all.

QuarkJets posted:they're all aimed at big nerds actually They invented Stormcast because inexperienced young painters have trouble with skin and lots of little models, so they needed big armored elite guys to be an intro army like they have with Space Marines in 40k. Compare that to TOW, where the good guy starter faction was fuckin Brettonia. They're clearly aiming for different demographics.

You are seriously kidding yourself with that marketing demographic phrenology poo poo. There's no real difference, never has been. If they just wanted Sigmarines to sell to the kiddies they could have just added them to Warhammer Fantasy, bringing it back as The Old World is sheepishly admitting that burning the setting to the ground and pissing on the ashes was a completely unforced error on their part that pissed off people who had stuck with it buying their poo poo for years.

AoS has been consistently selling better than Fantasy ever did. It's certainly theoretically possible that in an alternate timeline where The End Times never happened, the new management at GW was able to turn Fantasy around, make it not impossible for new players, piggyback off the success of the Total War games, and turn Fantasy into an AoS level hit. But now they get to have AoS and Fantasy. They get to have their cake and eat it too. QuarkJets posted:The new demographic being big nerds who have trouble painting skin No like actual children.

LanceHunter posted:Honestly, my dream is that the Henry Cavill WH40k project has one episode that's basically a complete Predator rip-off, with a bunch of outmatched Catachans in the jungle getting picked off one-by-one by some minor demon. Only a small few survive through sheer ingenuity and willpower. Fairly certain there's a short story in one of the 2nd ed codexes that is basically predator but with a Lictor.

has anyone read any of the AoS books? are any of them good? i love Old World Mythology it's so over the top and crazy but i'm not a fan of playing Warhammer Fantasy. I like AoS much better but don't know much about the setting other than what happens directly after The End Times.

Court of the Blind King is good if you like stories about elves who suck, Realm-Lords isn't bad if you like monk-style elves.

Fatty posted:Why is Mortarion green, given that this would be pre-heresy? Foreshadowing being sent to the poison planet also re: Aos vs Warhammer Fantasy - wasn't original Warham Fantasy TT a complete slog to play? i.e. the game could go for hours and hours with buckets of dice, unkillable bullshit, movement trays, but also the game could be over in the 1st round if certain factions like Slaan or High Elves made their magic scroll rolls? and as an extension of that, its why AoS rules at launch were grognardy beerhammer bullshit?
