It would be funny if the product had any use. But it looks pretty stupid and unnecessary. Yes, super glue is a product that I want to store in my pocket.

But it's secure in that dollar store pill container, what could go wrong?

If that was a dig at GW they should have opened a bottle with a normal opener at the end. If it wasn't a dig, it was still funny.

As a person on camera, he works really well and is extremely relaxing to watch because of his voice and overall mannerisms. But he had some epically bad white knighting videos right after AoS was released that were utter trash.

I've given up on him. It's either all GW is still good and fine, you should play AoS, or else really vague poo poo like "Is getting mad ruining your gaming experience?"

I guess its tough to come up with relevant poo poo to say all the time, but it just got boring.

Looking at the primer is also a laugh, as always. It's 20 pages. e: lol just noticed on the bottom of page 16 is a link to an FAQ which is another 35 pages.

You need to relax dude. What part of this being a chance for cool casual dudes to bro down while chucking dice don't you get? Its about the people, not the high prices of admission, travel, and accommodation. It's about the good times not the punishing schedule, or the tidal wave of rules, or the busted games being played. Seriously, what's your problem?

To be fair that applies to 40K first and foremost (lumping in Apoc and 30K), followed by AoS. Other GW games aren't quite that bad. (Still not good, but not that bad).

He's the plainest, most boring, most vanilla primarch, from the Ultramarines, and he's the guy half the Marine players hate because Matt Ward's fiction turned him into the 'liege lord' of every marine, more beloved than any other primarch, even their own sometimes.

Of loving course it is...

You don't need any of the DLC to get a ton of playtime out of the base factions the game comes with.

That said: did anyone else find the main Empire campaign to be super difficult? At some point the waves of chaos dudes showing up are just overwhelming. Probably I need to try again from scratch. Maybe I'm just bad at games.

You aren't the first that I have heard raise this complaint.

I don't get the hate for metal minis, metal is way easier to work with, more durable and holds better detail than plastic. Plus most plastic minis just don't look as nice. Even Wyrd who are making by far the most dynamic and well sculpted plastic minis still aren't making stuff that looks as good as metals from Anima. It's because plastic just doesn't hold shallow detail well. In metal and resin you can do things like have really fine edges to armored plates or really finely detailed chainmail while in plastic all of that is going to be super soft edges and get lost under primer and base coats unless you do a fair amount of light putty work to beef them up. I mean, Mantic makes ugly rear end minis, but one of their major issues is just how god drat soft the detail is on everything but they are cheap as dirt so who cares? But when you start seeing the exact same issue pop up in premium priced kits from Wyrd and GW doing poo poo like having muddy definition on fingers you have to start thinking it's a weakness of the medium and that these guys need to either start using the harder more brittle plastics that actual high detail plastic model kits use or they need to start thinking about moving more towards resin/restic like PP.

Plastic makes for far easier conversions. I too like metal to paint, but I hate playing with and transporting it.

You say that, but the last several posts have involved genuine discussion and criticism. It's not the unbridled fan boy felatio of anything GW does that the fanatics prefer to see, but at least it wasn't the usual trolling.

Well, that's one way to go to Age of the Empire. Rowboat Girlyman decides to say 'gently caress all you other chapters, we're making a whole new legion of Ultramarine successors because they're the only trustworthy ones'.

Why is this thread still here?

It's obvious to anybody who can look at GW with a shred of objectivity (probably not anybody in here) that they are miles ahead of where they were last year. AoS was a resounding success, their community interaction has increased drastically, their newly released models are great, and now they've advanced the story line.

With 8th Ed in the pipe idk how anybody can still have this "Lol gently caress GW" mindset.

You people are delusional. Gas.

So you want us back in the main thread? You are asking us to bring our annoyance, complaints, and criticisms to the "good" thread.

I feel like the board should have been half the size

I do find it funny that so many war gamers say they love the story telling and fluff of the game, yet when they play its just rolling and number crunching.

It looks simple enough, and I certainly have enough minis. I will definitely be trying it out at my FLGS because they will be supporting it I'm sure.

The story comes after the game, when you can talk about how your guy capped a dude through a window, then failed an ammo check and had his bolter blow up and kill him.

I guess. I assume it's part of playing for the camera, that they hurry through everything and just roll-roll-roll so that the video isn't 1.5 hours. It makes the game itself seem less fun.

How gangly and/or fat are you guys that you're constantly elbowing and gut-pushing your minis "accidentally" around the table? I mean, I've knocked over a mini on occasion when reaching for another that's been placed in a precarious position or something, but you make it sound like you're playing in a room full of banana peels.

Listen pal, my arms are a bit worn out from hoisting and moving these goalposts constantly, so sometimes my hands shake a little when I play with manz. Just accept the fact that X-Wing is worse than 40K, Infinity is worse than 40K, really everything ever is worse than 40K, and we can all get along, alright?

Any of you nerds got a big hard on for Noise Marines?



A guy is selling them locally, but I will ship them wherever if you cover my costs to buy and the shipping.

PMs preferred.

He may have more. I asked him about some allegedly primed noise marines.

3 Chaos noise marine (3 sonic blaster) (metal) 20$CAD
1 Chaos noise marine (Doom Siren) (metal) 10$CAD
1 Chaos noise marine (Champion)` (metal) 10$CAD

It's funny how 8th edition seems smart enough to make me actually interested again, and at the same time the Marine models are at the lowest point I've ever held them at. The basic Primaris is fine but everything else has just been a wash.
