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

I have started reading the dumb Wulfen book and oh my god I forgot just how terrible an author David Annandale is. Comparing his work with Dan Abnett's HH space wolf novel is just depressing.

Captain Rufus posted:So I might actually be playing 40K Kill Team this wed because I am that goddamned desperate to play some games. Anyone have advice for making a good Eldar force? (Besides not playing. Don't worry I have found.. resources to at least try it without giving GW money. Even if I do kinda want Lost Patrol or that set with the Harlequins in it, the latter for 2nd ed 40K play.) Actual Kill Team or HoR? I don't know poo poo about either of them, it's just where this question always leads so I thought I'd save you some time.

They're borderline for too much detail making the faces incoherent, but that second one is over the line into "where did his face go" Still probably the best models they've shown in ages

Of course it's been supported! It's had regular army list updates, major playtests, cool offshoot stuff created, expansion books released, and even entire new ranges of models designed to bring old armies up to modern standards! Just, you know... not by GW.

Reminder that 2e was a game made for and marketed to children and expecting non adults to even consider that they should modify the game to make it better let alone do it in a sane and well thought out manner is nuts Like I never considered that virus stuff or the vortex grenade was game breaking overpowered because I literally wasn't capable of an accurate bird's eye view of how everything fit together

Hixson posted:It proves that most posters in here have no objectivity and will blindly vomit out effort posts whenever a perceived pro GW post appears. Talk me through this. You've copied and pasted posts from dumb fans on a dumb rabid 40k forum, passed them off as your own, and because people argued with the dumb opinions that means those people are not objective yadda yadda I don't think I understand the logic. Mostly it's funny when people fall for it because hahaha they're earnestly arguing with fake posts but posting this poo poo for ten pages probably says more about you guys than the thread.

Hixson posted:You blindly disagreed with several non-sensical posts without even reading them. You didn't read the replies if you thought I disagreed with them, given that I was busy sighing and shaking my head and not posting except to yell "source your quotes". People disagreeing with poo poo posts doesn't mean they've lost all objectivity and are blinding attacking "perceived" pro-GW posts, it means they're arguing with someone who's putting forward lovely opinions and trying to make sense of nonsense. It's dumb of people not to recognise when others are shitposting, but it doesn't mean posters here are disagreeing just because. Post disagreeable poo poo, get disagreed with. It's still better than Gundams but let's not pretend you've managed to prove some grand statement about the Death Thread.

Amazing that the thread that mostly lives on making fun of GW and its fans should have posters that will argue with people who post literally copies of GW fans wrongheaded opinions Truly this a mind-blowing realisation and the obsessive quoting of every response long after the jig is up is definitely owning this thread all over again loving hell, I thought Star Citizen fans were bad.

tallkidwithglasses posted:Real talk, heroic scale mini games actually all cost about the same. Calth/Prospero runs ~125ish and can reasonably be about 1000 points of GW mans, the warmahordes intro boxes are $40 for a 0 point battlegroup but the non boardgame plastic models are actually a little more expensive than GW, so getting up to a 75 point tournament list is probably $150 if you go for cheap and not optimal (and you need 2 lists for a tournament), and infinity and malifaux are pretty similar. Real talk, 40k tournament size is 1850 at the lowest usually, and the equivalent 300pts of Infinity tends to be either 10 man or a little bit over. I can buy a 300 point tournament-legal army - where 300 points are the mainstay and not some "well, you can play 150 or 200 to get a feel for the game" style thing - for £72. Good luck buying your 40k army for £72. Secondly, it's very rare that 2 lists for a tournament in WMH don't share models.

Like, I haven't played 40k in a long time, but even I'm aware that <£100 doesn't buy you much of an army. For a fun experiment I thought I'd put together an army that would've been lots of points way back in the day and tot it up using an online army builder (Epic Roster) So, from the site (sorry GW, I'm not in Ireland) Captain £18 10-man Tac Squad £25 (used as 2 squads ingame) 5-man Terminator Squad £28 (this is a good price IMO) 5-man Devastator Squad £28 Dreadnought £28 5-man Assault Squad £25 Before specialist wargear but adding in available weapons, that's under 1000pts. For 27 models of one of the more points-expensive armies in the game. Coming out at ~£150. You're still looking at another 900pts or so from somewhere to match. The price comparison does not work in GW's favour, even when you can point at individual models or squads and compare them favourably with the competition, price-wise. Look at Infinity's Yu Jing Starter Pack. It's €40 from CB themselves. It's just 6 models. That's expensive compared to GW - though I much prefer the models - but they're a significant chunk of an army list: 3x ZHANSHI (Combi Rifle) (33pts in total) 1x TIGER SOLDIER Hacker (Assault Hacking Device) (Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower) (33pts) 1x HSIEN (HMG) (61 points) 1x ZÚYǑNG (MULTI Rifle) (28 points) That's 155 points, over halfway to a full sized force.

Bad Decision Dino posted:If you bought the Start Collecting! Space Marines or Betrayal at Calth you could get a pretty decent Space Marines army for a lower price. These would be perfectly viable options for games of Kill Team and Combat Patrol, which is were the game is best for new players anyway. Betrayal at Calth is £95 for - A Captain in Terminator Armour and a Dark Apostle; - A Contemptor Dreadnought, armed with a choice of multi-melta or assault cannon; - Five Cataphractii Terminators, with weapon options including combi bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, heavy flamers and grenade harnesses; - Thirty Legion Tactical Space Marines in MK4 armour, with a huge selection of weapons and custom features, including bolters, missile launchers, heavy bolters, chainswords, power swords, power fists, plasma pistols, lightning claw blades, combi flamer, melta and plasma guns, a melta bomb and a set of combat blades! These miniatures also include ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols and a selection of frag and krak grenades. someone else can price that up points-wise as I need to head out, but those goalposts seem to be shifting from "playing a game of 40k" to "playing a game of 40k that isn't 40k but is designed for low model counts / intros to the rules". Which is fine as I think Kill Team is a legit good idea even if the ruleset doesn't really work at that level, but let's compare apples to apples here. Otherwise that €40 Yu Jing set is all you need for Infinity's version of the starter game. Or Operation: Icestorm at £65, which has two armies, a game mat, scenery, and a bunch of other stuff.

Bad Decision Dino posted:I will agree that if you want to play 40k tournaments you will probably have to spend a lot of money. That said, there are several ways to play and enjoy the game with 100 bucks to spend. Claiming that anything less than tournament level play isn't real 40k seems like a weird argument, equivalent to saying that I cannot play Magic without spending a couple hundred bucks. Argue with the guy who choose to use "you need two lists for tournaments" as an argument against WMH, then. 40k isn't kill team and kill team is some barely supported mod for 40k.
