E: did the old 30k thread talk about "poverty friends" like the new one does? The amount of classism and discrimination GW engenders in its customers is…well, it sure is British.

I can tell you're not from the UK because a lighthearted quip upsets you, don't visit you'll probably have a heart attack.

Tiny toy men are wannabe Veblen goods? It's not unique to GW, unfortunately. Before Grogs got gassed I posted a rant from a different minis game where a dude got jumped on for asking for the cheapest way to get started and got told if he wasn't going to go in whole hog he shouldn't even bother and to stay away, that the hobby was only for people like him with the money and dedication.

Great, so you're racist and unable to not be ironic. You've never met a black person or painted a black person mini, have you? All you know is GW, maybe you're so used to nothing else existing that you don't know what a black person is and think everybody is supposed to have hands bigger than their skulls. Don't even try to evade it, you've been owned.

Go look up Infinity and Dropzone Commander and maybe you'll be less of a mockery of a human being. You won't, but I can dream.

Can we please go back to talking about how the Sigmarines have Sigmarite and it's stupid. In the same vein, the Lizardmen have stopped tipping their maces and spears with obsidian and bronze. Instead, the celestial Seraphon make their weapons out of.. celestite.

Which is not only stupid because of the Naming Scheme Narrative Forging Plan, but also because it is already a material in reality which is really unsuitable for making weapons of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestine_(mineral)

I also enjoy this desperate sales pitch from the Saurus Warriors description:

quote:

This multi-part plastic kit contains enough components to assemble twenty Saurus Warriors, clutching celestite clubs or celestite spears. Whichever weapon is chosen, they also wield stardrake shields. One miniature can be assembled as an Alpha Talon, and one miniature can carry a stardrake icon,afefecting [sic!] nearby enemy units negatively. Yet another miniature can carry wardrums, and there are many variations in head and shield options - your Saurus Warriors will be as unique as you wish!

Somebody made a joke about this early, but it's an actual serious thing, don't use the word idiot. In some sates and the UK people who are declared an "idiot" are literally not allowed to vote. I'm really hoping you're just ignorant, and not actively using a hurtful, outdated term just to "burn" some internet stranger.

The term idiot has not been used clinically in the UK for decades.

Dude I don't give a gently caress about its sex. It's totally a non-issue. What I'm curious about is why here in the first place. I don't recall any opinion stated about any part of the game except for Kirbys dick.

Also did kek become some pseudo rally cry for gamer gate because I never really followed that and stopped playing wow in 2011 or so. Was curious if it was your trigger since you begged for it.

One of the senior artists for GW (Jes Goodwin, designer of the Mechanicum, Skitarii, Dark Eldar, Eldar and loads of other stuff) commented to me that he didn't like that artist's credits were removed from the recent books, and I presume that the more senior members of the writing team will tend to feel the same. The new Forge World catalog has no more artists mentioned, either, so you won't actually know who sculpted or designed what in the future. I think it'd be pretty easy to sculpt, design or write in a subtle 'gently caress you' for only that person to see, but the way everything seems to be done is a closed room of staff members that check and double-check each other's work, so it would have to be a very subtle message.
