Basically it's Alice McGee's fairytales. There's more than a few comparisons to Malifaux's Neverborn that got the Warmahordes thread defensive about but aren't unwarranted.

Personally I'm kind of torn. The models themselves are good but the paint jobs are a bit too pastel for the setting so that, even though they fit into the Iron Kingdoms setting nicely, they feel counter to the look and feel of Warmahordes.

I get the gut feeling that if Privateer Press' Descent clone was more successful we'd be seeing them as as an expansion to that instead.

That said, the center piece warcaster is Not-Baba Yaga riding a robotic chicken hut, which is awesome.

Star Wars prequels are good, all of them are better than The Force Awakens.

The best Star Wars movie is the throne room bits in Return of the Jedi and the worst Star Wars movie is almost literally everythig else in that movie.

Highlights of the 40k thread right now are SG showing up to tell them it will all end in tears and Greenmarine posting to confirm he closed the AOS thread because it wasn't enough of a hug box.

Man i'd love to play one of these games but I'm afraid i'd spend the money and A) get frustrated halfway through and stop painting or B) not be able to find a game. There's a group I know of that plays AoS and Warmahordes, but KoW seems like such a better investment of money. Sigh. The closest i've come to playing these was the Dark Vengeance 40k box. I painted all of the Chaos minis and some of the Space Marines. I played maybe two games.

I couldn't give less of a poo poo about combat in D&D though. For me, entering combat is a sign that things went seriously off the rails. While I know 4e lets you do other stuff, it never felt quite close enough to AD&D to me so the nostalgia is ruined. At that point I might as well pick a game that's closer to the kinds of stuff I really like (Torchbearer seems really up my alley).

It's a hard problem because, as a business, you obviously want to use the D&D name but you're forced to grapple with either keeping the original flavor (and what that constitutes varies from person to person) or making a good game that throws away all the busted parts. Unfortunately, I dislike nearly every element of D&D (classes, levels, D20-based skill rolls, etc) except when it hits the nostalgia center of my brain.

Sorry to see you go, dude.

Seriously. I hate seeing people get so disillusioned with something they love that they decide to just drop it.

I wasn't having a go at you. Didn't want to imply any personal enmity. (That and I don't remember exactly how it went )

Hopefully you follow the development of the story and find something you want to come back for.

In all honesty, Overwatch's design has made me warm a bit to Infinity's design, but one of the things I really like about Overwatch is the huge amount of stylistic variety in the heroes.

You're in luck actually, GW is releasing something that should be very useful to you. You can use the new Citadel Saw set to remove the illegal weapon choices and replace them with new ones from the recent kits.

Well, AoS is a new system starting a new mythos from scratch. People didn't let it grow, like everything it needs time to do so.

Hence the huge clamour of "it's shallow". It WAS.
Things are getting into shape. Yes, I follow it quite closely.
It left behind most of the Tolkienesque inspiration, for good or

Not debating that, just that they have made statements that it isn't AoS for 40k. Although the fact that the next release is "8th edition" and not "new game title" is pretty telling.

If you can have fun with a thing, there must not be any other thing that is better.

If someone says there's a better thing, that is clearly an attempt to invalidate your fun you had. They're just haters. Or perhaps they are mentally ill. I mean why would anyone want to discuss things? Talking about different aspects of things, what makes them better or worse, that's all just pathetic and worthy of ridicule.

Over and over. Be sure to ridicule people discussing things. They're so sad. Right?

This is disingenuous. The whole point of this thread, and it's not infrequent sorties into the 40k thread, is to obsessively sneer at people who enjoy something, and try to belittle and, ultimately, spoil that enjoyment. Telling people there is something they might like is a million miles away from telling people they don't like what they like. The latter seemingly being this thread's raison d'etre.
