It's kind of a shame that Firefight exists but is basically ignored

Making their rule books full color hardbacks is a part of the problem with them.

That's an insane deal as far as army bundles go in miniatures games. That's a little over 2 dollars per figure, including 3 Striders, 8 jetbikes and an aircraft. That's a helluva deal if someone's looking to pick up an army on the cheap.

edit: ahahaha, I haven't paid attention to games workshop crap in years. loogiddis poo poo.

$128 USD:


$85 USD:


$411 USD:


boggles the god damned mind how GW is still around.

My favorite ones are the not terminators, the not marines, the not guardsmen, the not thunderfire cannons, the not dreadnoughts, and the not Sicaran

Has much come out about the playtesters who were involved? It seems weird that the only people I've heard talked about much were those guys from NOVA or whatever when I can think of like 20 people within a short train journey of Nottingham who used to put together absolutely hateful lists and would have done some excellent playtesting.

If the miniatures are garbage, it's kind of a waste of your time (which is arguably more valuable than your money) to bother painting them at all, and if you find the gameplay more important than the spectacle why even bother with miniatures over, say, cardboard cut-out standees like these?

Texmo posted:

Honestly I'd be fine playing against that army too - it's just that, to me, Mantic models feel like you're paying money to receive a painting chore that will look ugly no matter what, so why spend your money on that instead of just papercrafting?
Those space marines vs warpath comparisons might as well be comparing space marines to those cheap rear end russian miniatures as far as I'm concerned, like, you could buy $100 for a handful of good looking miniatures that are worth spending time painting because you can make them look nice (or at least serviceable with a base color and wash) but GW is actually a rip off because for $100 you could instead buy a ton of ugly garbage.

Except for the 'same production quality' part, you either haven't touched a recent GW kit, or have a very interesting definition of 'the same'

VHS being allowed on Warrior Priests was the stupidest loving thing.
