Yeah, this. Nerds and writers (especially nerd writers) have this almost pathological urge to fill in every nook and cranny with detail, explaining everything they can so that their nerd-readers and nerd-fans and nerd-friends can spend a significant chunk of their life pouring over and memorizing everything. Anything that has a sense of mystery to it is anathema and must be stamped out because they have to know everything about the setting and lore, even if its irredeemably terrible.

D&D does this in several of its settings. Up until recently, Star Wars did this too. Star Trek probably does this but I know gently caress-all about their EU and with the weird limbo that series has been in who the gently caress knows anymore. Having a few key locations and the rest scribbled down as "here be dragons" is going to do more to excite the imagination than dozens of books dealing with source material, particularly in a miniatures game that tries to sell itself as "you can make your own army!"

this is one of the many problems Rouge Wan has

I'm actually glad X wing just had you use named pilots because if it was all generics with abilities, you can be damned sure that Luke Skywalker flew with at least 5000 pilot buddies in his short piloting stint as Rogue Leader.

what if I only fly with generic un-named pilots though?

Reportage!
http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-4107598/Fantasy-games-miniatures-maker-Games-Workshop-sudden-sales-surge.html

I'm sure the company will unfreeze its employees salaries, hire some competent sculptors, ease up the abusive restrictions it places on independent stockists, expand its stores to include playing space, hire competent rules writers, begin playtesting its rules before release, lower prices on its most ridiculously expensive products, and restore the beloved setting that so many of its new license customers that bought Warhammer: Total War have just been introduced to.

Right?

you know personally I don't think theyre going to do any of those things Leperflesh

I read the last 20 pages of the 40k thread and now my head hurts. At least I can now identify as a Death Threader who makes sculptors feel bad by not liking over engineered models, making me basically Hitler

hi death thread! i developed a positive opinion of the WH40k IP from the dawn of war games and that led me to enjoy the TCG Conquest but then GW split from FFG because ??? and welp!

i developed a positive opinion of the WHF IP from Vermintide and Total Warhammer and thought "perhaps i might enjoy other fine products in this line" but welp!

Idk dude, I'm really enjoying my $12 Chicago express and even my $100 food chain magnate games, compared to the $100 tau mech I also bought. That continues to sit in the box unpainted while I get utility from working on these gundam figures that have an internal skeleton.

I nearly bought a gundam model last week

couldnt decide what to start with though; man they were such good value though!

This is completely insane. Warhammer is a brutal universe and wearing fur fits completely into the law of all the races that do it. Stop trying to cause trouble.

This is a world that is completely full of war where people will literally kill a whole planet, and they wouldn�t wear rare fur pelts to show riches? PETA get your priorities straight and deal with real animals.

This is a serious concern, and I thank you guys for bringing it up, but you may want to do your homework before you assume.
As there are no wolves on Fenris.

Lol, jfc. Getting offended by fake fur. A new level of idiocy for PETA.

You have absolutely no idea what youre talking about. Killing a wolf the size of a APC with your barehands takes skill. WWI was 20x worse than a cage. 40k is WWI but with actual demons that are the pure embodiments of Murder, Rape, and Disease. Or youre fighting hordes of monsters with acid blood that have consumed galaxies. Or youre fighting giant green monsters who live only for war. All these monster will dismember, rape, kill, enslave, or consume you in whatever order they want.

And nobody cares about your stupid screeching and nothing will ever change.

For a few seconds I didn't get these were FB posts
