Space Marine by Ian Watsonquote:Biff Tundrish, quote:He shut his eyes – the better to concentrate upon the cramped flexing of his muscles; upon that monotonous, peristaltic thrust upwards as of some gross mutant baby ascending a vertical birth canal in defiance both of gravity and of sane obstetrics. quote:Compression of the guts caused inevitable farting. D’Arquebus vented through his tunic and his silks virtually into Yeremi’s face. Nor did Yeremi have much option but to gas Tundrish in turn. Yeremi at least gasped out an apology to the body below him. “Pardon me, brother.” “S’all right,” panted Tundrish. “Reminds me of home in the underhive…” quote:In his mind’s eyes Lexandro could no longer quite capture nor comprehend the essentially alien anatomy of his quondam sisters. The anatomy of… woman… quote:“WE’RE GOING IN through its anus,” Biff whooped boisterously. Indeed. Indeed. quote:The nose of the torpedo impacted rupturingly in that meatus, wrenching its tissue open, burrowing deeper convulsively with thrusts of its jets as the Fists clung to stanchions. The torpedo rocked as a shaped charge on the nose cone erupted, blasting a passageway ahead. Swiftly the spring-loaded cone itself petalled open, becoming a fourfold hatch pressing fiercely against the inner anal walls in the manner of a surgical dilator. “Out, out, out!” This rectum of the alien ship curved rightward, aslosh with steaming cloacal fluids, banded with slowly pulsing purple peristaltic sinew. The high shriek of escaping atmosphere had already diminished to a whistle as the injured anus cramped tighter, reflexively, around the girth of the plasteel troop-carrier which had penetrated it. quote:Lo Chang had sat behind a filigree screen, upon a painstool – not so much that he should experience due anguish at a brother’s admission of shortcomings… Nay, the constipative pangs induced in the nerves of his buttocks may have been subtly pleasurable… but so that thus he might sympathetically take into himself some of the confessee’s misery, then defecate this discomfiture out of his own body, metamorphosed into crass waste matter, fit to be jettisoned.

Hey guys I was like 30 pages behind on the thread and read like three and now I'm here Did I miss anything important while the 40K player for some bizarre reason decided to have a meltdown and try to convince people that because GW is improving, it means they're super duper awesome and the best, when in reality it just means they're slightly less garbage It's like "Hey, the restaurant used to give you smelly diarrhea in a bowl, but now they give you dry, scentless turds, which is a vast improvement, they're good now" E: ALL THOUGH I will grant that Shadespire looks pretty cool. I also acknowledge that they are actually trying with stuff like Shadow War and General's Handbook II: Sigmarite Boogaloo, but they've got quite a way to go.

I'm not going to get dragged into an argument about sales because GW stuff is going to sell a minimum threshold every time and people for some reason are still perfectly happy to take bad gaming over no gaming and that often means buying into whatever GW is currently offering, but it seems to me at best that GW played into confusion about whether or not SWA was or was not the Necromunda reboot and banked on nostalgia moving units more than what was actually offered in the box (which I think even GW diehards were like "scouts and orks... whoopie").

Yeah no, I'm not saying that they're doing well and that all is forgiven, but it does seem like that through the haze of their own soporific farts, which have kept them complacent for a decade plus, they seem to be vaguely aware that something is wrong, but they don't quite know what, so they're trying things that are different for them. This could be the beginning of a slow turn around if they can continue wising up, but historically, they've always bungled every chance they've had.

I have no reason to think anything they do in the future will be reasonable.

Shadow war is in theory a good move from GW in a business sense, in that it provides a less costly (in GW terms) entry point to 40k for new players, and encourages old players to branch out into different armies. It's smart, imo. Prices are still too high, but that's like saying water is still wet.

Dude, the Shadow Wars box is $220 Australian. Even if you split it between two people, that's still shelling out $110 each! That is not a less costly entry point, even for GW.

The cheapest cost of entry is rulebook + miniatures. Or just miniatures if you know someone with the book.

At its core, SW:A isn't the worst idea, since GW has sorely needed a good entry point to 40k where you only need a handful of models to have an interesting game. However, there are two problems: 1) billing it as a revival of Necromunda is guaranteed to disappoint anyone who liked any of the old gangs (there were lots of people in this very thread who said "well if they release new Clan Escher models, I'll buy them"); 2) re-releasing a 20 year old ruleset with minimal changes speaks to GW's ignorance (or simply disinterest) in how tabletop games have developed since then.

We have previously established in this thread that GW pricing in australia and new zealand is bizarrely warped. Even compared to GW's pricing elsewhere. I'm very sorry for how badly you guys get screwed, but: you just cannot judge how well GW is pricing anything by looking at the didgeridollar price tag.

I think the preferred nomenclature is "dollarydoo". $130USD is still insane for what you get in the box and what competitors offer. Shadow Wars really only makes sense if you have old GW minis you want to use and you don't want to gently caress around with the current edition of 40k.

I posted like half the responses because I was bored on a train to Scotland and I come to the death thread to discuss GW being poo poo, I even said so at the time. I don't know any of the GW fan posters so who loving knows if anything they're posting is real or not and who cares? The posters who owned me so hard are still here defending GWs honour while the 40k thread gets like 3 posts a day so it was good for the death thread. When one of their armies gets squatted during age of the emperor (unless like all sensible 40k players you all just play a Marines) the death thread will be here for them like it was for the Fantasy faithful. It's a good thing.

My kids school does a 'family learning night' and they get a bunch of different individuals and businesses in to do little 45m lectures or demos and GeeDubs actually showed up for a learn to paint event. My 11 year old daughter picked it and painted part of her first mini last night:  Probably the first in a long chain of bad decisions. I expect next it will be a crack-based pregnancy.
