So Games Workshop is good and cool now, eh?

Everyone who posts in this thread agrees with this very premise. Good show, GW!

Gundams are cool. They robit as gently caress.

But not 00. More like Turn A. The right balance is somewhere between Wing and Iron Blood. Definitely not Victory. Let's not even bring up SEED.

A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Fun fact about dropzone commander and most CMoN mini games (Wrath of Kings and Dark Age): they hold tournaments to gauge balance in their armies and make minor corrections to things. They are also really good games with good backgrounds that are fun. In fact, the balance makes them MORE fun because you accidentally didn't pick the "joke" faction (see Orks/Tyranids) so you can stand a chance to win in a game.

Don't ever talk about balance in the 40k thread. I tried that the other day and posts like "the game has never been balanced so why try now?" were common.

That said, apparently some GW guys are taking part in the team games at Adepticon. I'm real curious to see how they do. :v:

Mantic's Warpath pledges are now filtering down to their backers and tentative readings of the rulebook (for vanilla Warpath and for Warpath: Firefight) point to it being a good game. So it should do for 40k what KoW did for WHFB in terms of filling that niche.

Rebels is good. Just started Season 2 and Vader is just a goddamn DEMON.

And my Warpath KS Dorf jump squad and hero with doggie came in the Mail. I might have them assembled before the heat death of the universe maybe.

Also glad to see the thread back.

Mindless self indulgence is SRS BIZNS
I have warpath stuff coming, including the space dwarfs. I am strongly considering painting them in Sigmarine colors (though not with GW paints because I'm not that stupid). Also possibly emulating some of the "classic" signmarine poses, like having someone sticking a trumpet in their eyehole or aiming with a shoulderpad blocking the way.

Other options under consideration include bright chrome and/or sparkles, to make them Flash Gordon meets Liberace levels of fabulous.
