Everything about GW is still garbage. You guys have just mistaken "better than other garbage" for "not garbage" and I get why that's an easy mistake to make.

I realize you're just trolling, but this sentiment is one voiced all too often by GW's core fan-base. It's the mistaken idea that the game's not still a hot loving mess. I think the Belisarius Cawl mini is loving bad-rear end. I actually like the new Kairos Fateweaver mini. But the idea of actually playing a game of 40K is just dreadfully painful. It's an exercise in unfulfilling, time-consuming futility. And the worst part is that if you've never played anything other than 40K, you have no idea just how much of an awful, soul-crushing chore the game actually is.

Don't get me wrong - I've been playing 40K since the heady days of Rogue Trader, where my first army was Eldar mercenaries with uncontrolled Genestealers deployed from a tunneling crawler. I first started collecting and painting Imperial Guard under 2nd Edition and Necrons under 5th. Thank the gods that I avoided the temptation to get into Sisters under 4th. I've played a lot of 40K over the years, up through and including 7th Edition. I did so largely because in terms of mini games it was "the thing to do."

Then I slowly came to the realization that I didn't really enjoy the game. Sure, hanging out with friends and shooting the poo poo was cool. And some of the minis were awesome (I absolutely love the aesthetics of Necron vehicles, for instance). But the actual game itself actively got in the way of all of the other enjoyable bits.

Then I started reading and playing other games. Newer games. Games that didn't have three decades of cruft and sacred cows and lovely Codex authors pushing their own lovely agendas. And I realized that these other games were actually fun. And balanced. And interesting. They had novel mechanics and meaningful tactical decisions. And the companies that put them out actually gave a poo poo about their customers. And some of them had minis that were just plain better than Citadel's latest T-posed, extraneously-detailed, busy-as-gently caress plastic mans.

I have no doubt that 8th Edition 40K will be more streamlined than 7th. You might even be able to say that it will be a "better" game. But "better than 7th Ed" is a pretty loving low bar, and getting GW fanboys to realize why jaded veterans don't share their optimism (especially when we've been disappointed so many times in the past) is harder than it needs to be. 8th Edition would have to be virtually unrecognizable as a Warhammer game for me to actually want to play it again, and the odds of it being so are virtually nil.

I'm not a fan of Malifaux, but their sculpts are alright, if you're into steampunky stuff. Infinity has some great sculpts, but all of the cheesecake does get tiresome (and I don't mind a bit of cheesecake.)

This is legitimately pissing me off because:

1. Everything contains chemicals

2. All food is artificial

3. All fruit and vegetables (or close to) that we eat are genetically modified. Corn didn't just spring into existence fully-formed

High-fructose corn syrup is bad poo poo and I'm really surprised to see it contains mercury but the fact ketchup has GMOs in it has absolutely no issue for the consumer.

GMOs and their regulation are a massive issue if you care about biodiversity, the rights of farmers, the right of a company to own basic science, and so on, but being genetically modified is going to do jack poo poo to your health on it's lonesome (and even then most food is actually fortified, instead of being made less nutritious, so most GMO food contains more nutrient content, not less).

EDIT: Also checking our ketchup it's mostly water, 29% puree, and vinegar, so I guess the UK has less lovely ketchup.

No if I was aroused by the miniature I would almost certainly consider the £7 to be well spent though.

It was this hacker lady and it was an impulse purchase because I thought the helmet and big hair looked cool and fun to paint
