The hobby already has mobidly obese people with no social skills or personal hygiene. That's how it's perceived.

Yeah I guess someone that puts Luftwaffe decals on their Messerschmidt 109s is pretty close to that.

Even with the fascist right being as emboldened as it it as the moment, the reason these troglodytes are so noticeable right now is that the hobby is making major moves towards inclusion. They're quite obviously terrified of what GW are doing. And GW aren't stopping for scum their own employees are openly mocking on social media.

Arch-Warhammer made a video being super smug about Dawn of War 3's death and that made me hate him even before I found out he was a troglodyte.

They actually had a weird Warhammer Fantasy character/moba thing that nobody played and died rapidly. I'd love a new Last Stand though. Expanded roster, more maps, dress up my space barbie? Hell yes.

I regularly dip back into DOW1, particularly Dark Crusade.

I was exceedingly happy they went with a commandos style campaign because it gave us the best single player RTS campaign ever, Kaptin Bluddflagg and Mistah Nailbrain'z Krumptastic Voyage.

1 and 2 own. I spent so much time playing DOW1 skirmish against the CPU. Good games and good memories.

Playing it for thirty minutes at pax was enough for me to pass on it. A few of my friends got it. 2/3 said it was horrible while the other said he thought the campaign was serviceable but the core conceit of the game was no good, which seems to match popular and critical opinion.

Never in the history of gaming has there been a campaign with a greater purpose than that of Kaptin Bluddflagg.

All the retrib campaigns were ridiculously good, and IMO the greatest Kirby sin was never creating a pack of miniatures based off the cast.

I would pay out the rear end for a box set of Cyrus, Adrastia, Castor, and Bluddflagg.

It's like if DoW 1 simultaneously wanted to be a hardcore RTS like StarCraft and also got the same mentality as 7e 40k where infantry existed to die instead of being a staple unit that did important things. It's a mess of demanding micromanagement that the other games never demanded, which turned me off instantly. Anyone who complains about Gabriel doing flips in terminator armor is missing the wood for the trees.

I would also pay through the rear end for Bluddflagg and krew. Someone email GW and tell them to make that a Kill Team already.

MY LIFE FOR YOU!
Retribution was pretty lovely though, especially because it was so close to being extremely enjoyable. If they just put in the extra effort with the campaign mode in having different paths for the different factions it would have been awesome. Instead we got to go through the same exact missions with the same outcomes no matter what faction you chose.

After the awesome campaign mode of vanilla and Chaos Rising it was a huge letdown for me.


As for DOW 3, I purchased the game, booted it up twice and never actually got around to playing it beyond going into army painter and laughing at how horrible the animation on the heavy bolter devastators is. ( it's almost comical)

Can you get into the Retribution campaigns if you've barely even gotten your toes wet in the vanilla campaign? I've put hundreds of hours into DoW1 but for some reason 2 never really got a hold of me, but I still find myself wanting to do the Ork and Tyranids campaign for that one.

I got Deathwing on sale but never made it past the tutorial. It was a bit taxing on my PC, and I figured I'd come back after the game was done.

It's almost entirely divorced from the other games; if you play 2 you'll know more about the villain and characters from the Marine campaign, but that's it.

Nothing groundbreaking. The Halo Launcher is an odd change, and I'm not a fan of the Dragonfire ruling. Though, you should never be shooting Dragonfire unless it's against T2 models without an armor save anyway.

The Dragonfire ruling is really dumb because every other instance of "receiving the benefit of cover" has been ruled the opposite way. A little consistency would be nice.

Reroll saves of 1 if it's in supersonic mode

In the Index the Halo Launcher was -1 to hit when targeted by Fly units while in Supersonic mode

There was errata that changed it to reroll 1's to save while Supersonic.

The codex had both the reroll 1's to save on the Datasheet and -1 to hit in the Summary section

This errata changed it to both be the -1 to hit.

Strange path to go back to the original rule.

What a bizarre process. So now Deahwatch can get -2 to hit on their flyers, as long as it's units with FLY shooting at them? That's surprisingly thematic (since all the xenos races except Orks use vehicles with FLY for basically everything, but Guard/Chaos are mostly ground-based).

You want it to be DARK ANGELS so it can re-roll 1s to hit with that sweet 0" Move characteristic.
