Not that this is the place for good faith arguing, but with SW:A GW now has a reasonable path for a player to start with a small force and grow an army. You can buy an infantry box, make an SW:A team, then add a start collecting box and have a small army, then fill it out with other stuff until you're at a full sized army. There's a logical progression that was totally absent a few years ago.

this is cool

I mean this is the thread where GW games take 4 hours to play, mantic sculpts look great, infinity isn't utterly infused with creepy sexualization, it's easy to find a frostgrave/dark age/random osprey game opponent, all rulebooks are free and warmahordes is cheap.

I'm the creepy sexualization

Infinity has like a hundred different dudes per side though (for all their minor variations in loadout and specialisations) yet I've never heard of anyone trying to play a 2000 point game just to field their entire display cabinet.

same with X-wing

I have loads of wangs but I'd never want to play some massive epic game with all my models

gimme quick cool skirmish games please

Woah woah woah, don't get too crazy now.

I'd like to listen to the thought process of goons that hate everything GW but can't stop posting about it. Do they wake up with an urge to go onto the internet and tell everyone how much they don't like a toy company they've had nothing to do with for the past 4+ years, or does it slowly seep into their mind as the day progresses?

Do they see things in their day to day life that triggers off this hatred, such as the array of GW product squatting on their nerd store shelf space that could otherwise service perfectly good Pop! Vinyl figures?

Perhaps they're disgusted at how their friends like one clearly inferior toy tank that has a host of rules over a different toy tank for the same price but features photo-etched parts they could let their imagination run wild inventing rules for!

Then, hark! While angry glaring at a toy company's range that inexplicably refuses to die in their accustomed position they assume for half an hour every day they hear something: the sounds of wargaming! They spin around, luxurious locks of long hair (carefully restored to a fine grease sheen as nature intended) gently brushing gathered dust off the warmachine boxes to spy upon the game. What could it be, a fine game of Infinity miniatures with its incredible depth? Perhaps they are playing a pick-up game of frostgrave as is so common in his headcanon?

No! No! No!

It is the terrible game, the wretched game, it is W A R H A MM E R!

The nerve! The folly! Do they not see the mistake? Look at how they move their models in this most shallow and depthless of games! Spy upon them looking up and using rules for their units in this most bloated and overcomplex of games! Don't they know they could be playing with a free unpopular and untested ruleset they got online, moving tanks of all makes and time periods and scales instead!? Why this makes the goon so mad! Merely marching right over to the players and preaching the folly of their ways would be insufficient and require human interaction, no sir, this requires more drastic action! He must post in the Death Thread of Something Awful Dot Com!

Is this post real???

I dunno, some of it's pretty good. I have no interest in AoS but the new dwarf stuff they put out looks really cool. Also some of the new Orks and that one elf lady on a beetle.

And then some of it just looks really lame, like all the Sigmarines

I like the big ork riding a big beastie

The point of rifling wasn't to spin the bullet so it had a straighter path. It was to spin two half-bullets, essentially making them both screwballs, so the samurai could only have time to cut one of them in half.

fortunately anime solved this problem
