Stormcast already have majestically sculpted titties on their armour though  Agreed it's less egregious, but still, a headswap or something would've been much less work surely.

making it a bit smaller is a way to add visual distinction to a rather bland looking faction i guess?

I'm fine with visual distinction between models that has nothing to do with gender. They should basically be genderless when in armor with the helmet on. I liked the idea that a poster had where their armor is decorated with trinkets from their past life. So a former Bretonnian might have a bit of coloring from his old livery on a pauldron or an Imperial might have their sigil on their armor somewhere.

it's funny how introducing the WHITE PRIDE GIRLS HAVE COOTIES marines into fantasy has turned out to be their stepping stone to making the game more diverse. it's still tiny GW baby steps in tyool 2017 obviously but hey. i'm also down with the female sigmarine because being smaller and slimmer is just what they should all look like anyway. as if anyone's body is the shape of that loving golden sumo armour.

I'm sick of all these unofficial rules for Sigmar. This game is not about being creative. It's about being OFFICIAL And the only way it can be official is if Games Workshop says it is. Look, if you make your own rules, dont expect me to play you in an official game. That would be a worthless waste of time. If I have fun, I want it to be official fun, that's all.

So here's an unexpected thing: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/03/23/warscroll-builder-coming-soon/ They are actually going to make Warscroll Builder, which is a third party list maker, official.

those look like quality models but I'm disappointed we aren't getting some of malekith's shadow elf bois with a name like Shadespire, they're one of the few AoS revamps that actually intrigues me. e: they look like they're from a different company or a kickstarter or some poo poo, which in this case is good as hell.

The thing that bothers me about GW apologists is their insistence that being able to play the game how they want is somehow mutually exclusive from a game having comprehensive rules and balanced mechanics. Do they not realize that there is no miniature game police? I could go to my FLGS tomorrow and play a game of Kings of War where I fielded nothing but Troops even though that's a clear violation of the rules. As long as my opponent agrees, who cares? I do not understand what is controversial about saying, "It is better to have good rules that you can choose to ignore than it is to have an incomplete game."

mango sentinel posted:People who were fine with Open Play and no points boggle my mind. To me it's the "dumb kid clause" and GW not realizing that there would be people who didn't want to play that way. When my friends and I were dumb kids on limited budgets, we often didn't have enough models to make legal units or we didn't have the right types of units to make legal armies. "My friend has 8 plastic halbediers and a hellblaster volley gun, but that doesn't work out to >50% and <25%, guess he can't play." Obviously we could have just played if we wanted to, and inevitably we did, but we always felt like we weren't really playing Warhammer. So it's nice when the official rules recognize that as a legitimate way to play and you don't think that you're "playing wrong". Even the Kings of War book says if you're playing smaller games not to worry about points or army composition. Just play with what you have ready. As an adult with limited free time, if I get some models painted up, I want to put them on the table right away, but that doesn't always mean I have a legal way to field them. So just taking what you want regardless of strict composition rules does have a time and a place. The issue isn't that GW emphasized this, it's that they didn't realize that people still like competitive play in addition to that and sometimes you want to see who the better commander is on an even battlefield. So the General's Handbook was a step in the right direction and it seems they're going to be avoiding this in Age of the Emperor.

I could go to my FLGS tomorrow and play a game of Kings of War where I fielded nothing but Troops even though that's a clear violation of the rules. As long as my opponent agrees, who cares? I'm slowly realizing this might be linked to the same sort of terrible nerd arguments that are diagetic in nature and plague our communities. The obvious one is the diagesis of the media being consumed compared to the exegesis of why the hell are all these minis giant boobs with no clothing. Or dumb star wars v star trek stuff. But then you have rulesets and rules-as-physics in D&D and maybe it stems from the same thing: lack of critical analytic ability and creativity. The "D&D causes brain damage" chestnut from the old grognards.txt. It honestly is really weird that these same patterns keep coming up and the arguments are all the same. Breaking the hallowed rules of army list creation is the same as your MGS5's Quiet wearing clothes breaking my verisimilitude since she needs her pores open to breathe.

Oh I definitely understand why it exists and think it's a good thing as a supported format, it's just confusing to think it was ever the only format and people were like "yes, good." Like reading about/listening to podcasts about the General's Handbook Handbook release and hearing people mad they were adding points is weird. I'm new to wargaming so I'm fascinated by how hardcore some people are about fluffy/anti-competitive aspects of the game. I certainly lean towards fluff since I don't think GW rules are very conducive to meaningful competitive play, but I like the idea of having objectives and a loose metric of balance even if I'm gonna play a less strict format.

What's frustrating is that all of these arguments are in bad faith. It's not like the GW faithful actually want a good game. They want a GW game where GW packages everything nicely for them, from the top of the hobby to the bottom. They get legitimately angry and confused when people explain to them that there are better ways to engage with miniatures as a hobby. That isn't to say that GW has no merit or that enjoying it isn't legitimate or that everyone who plays GW games has that mindset. It's just that for a certain group of people, they have attached their identities to GW and so if GW says it, it must be true.

I really, really, really want to like Age of Sigmar and give GW money but like... it's bad. It doesn't do it for me. The game is bad, the lore is bad, and well, if the Perry Bros can sell that many quality plastic figures for so cheap then GW certainly could if they respected us. I miss you, Warhammer. I miss the ICs and Garagehammer and being psyched for 8th ed. I even miss Gdubs. gently caress you, Sigmar.
