I was literally just about to ask in another thread where a good place to sell/trade minis is. Never heard of that site, have you done many trades there?

JcDent posted:GW Is Maybe Not As Bad It Used To Be, But Still Not Good. What's an example of a good company then? I only started getting into GW stuff last summer (outside of SH/WHQ) and so far I'd rate them at the top of the industry. Also, figure this is the place to ask - what's the latest on Elf/Aelf rumors for AoS? I don't play but might rethink that if elves are freshened up.

No, I agree. I just see GW get constant poo poo, and as far as I can tell they're no worse in product quality and generally Making poo poo I Wanna Buy than any other companies out there in the same industry.

mango sentinel posted:I'm new to this hobby as well so I've only known Good GW™ but they were a moderately different company not long ago. They're a slowly turning ship but the initial launch of AoS was a nightmare and until very recently had a bunch of policies, practices, and design decisions that were aggressively anti consumer, and occasionally anti-retail. Yeah I knew they were poo poo from a distance when they had a different CEO, but I never really dived into the backstory. When they were poo poo, they made nothing I wanted to buy, so I never bothered.

The Deleter posted:The GW Specialist Thread currently has "Spend 2CP to Replace CEO" as a title for a reason. A long while back their internal culture treated the models as the be-all-end-all of their business, not the game systems attached to them, and seemed incredibly tone-deaf regarding the multitude of things that they competed with. "Jewel-like objects of wonder" and "Video games are just a fad" are some choice quotes from past investor relations reports. Then Age of Sigmar happened, dumpstering a 30 year old setting with complex and cool poo poo and replacing it with faceless gold men who bear a striking resemblance to Space Marines. There's also some stuff about their lovely store practices and treatment of employee, but I don't remember that off the top of my head. Oh yeah, no, I totally get it. I just keep seeing people throwing salt everywhere, so I'd legitimately like to know who they think is better based on what's happening right now in the industry, instead of just rehashing "well back in 2002". Regardless, it's not worth pressing. That's a shame there's no solid Aelves rumors. I'd like Sigwatchers.

GreenMarine posted:Agreed with this. I've done a bunch of gold with fleshtone and a bunch with brown and the switch to brown helped a lot. My last gold armor model I used Vallejo Smoke mixed with glaze medium and it was indeed 1000% better for me than Reikland Fleshshade.

Quidthulhu posted:I'm interested in getting into AoS with the new 2.0 rules coming out but have no idea where to begin. A while ago I got talked in to getting a copy of Silver Tower so I have all those models, but that's it. A Start Collecting box and the hardcover rulebook together is still going to come in under the box set. Unless you care about the dice and ruler enough to get that and sell the models to offset the cost, I think you’d be fine just getting what you really want.

berzerkmonkey posted:If you can swing it, buy the 2.0 box set when it comes out and sell off the ghosts and Stormcasts. You should be able to get around $80 for each, and that will leave you with a free rulebook. Depending on how well the box set sells though, you need to be OK with only getting $50 per side. It didn’t take long at all for Dark Imperium armies to hit that price.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:Maybe it's because the Sigmar starters are old, but I had a hell of a time getting the Stormcast half of that box for under 60. I just recently lucked out and got two halves shipped for around ~100. Yeah demand could be entirely different too. The AoS halves could go for more I just wouldn’t want someone to blow the money if it means they can’t get the rest of what they want unless they get X price. Should be able to see within a couple of days of launch which way the wind is blowing.

Danimo posted:Its weird for AoS these days. When they released the Warhammer Legends rules for Dark Elves and did the one week made-to-order heroes for them its all just elf and elves. And occasionally in conversations on their twitch stream and once or twice on that new podcast they'll say goblins or dwarfs. But in anything official in written form its all Grots, Duardin, etc. I was under the impression that that was because Age of Sigmar takes place so long after the End Times that the language/names of things organically changed, which is why GW still refers to things by old names when appropriate.

berzerkmonkey posted:Yeah - AoS of literally thousands of years That’s what I thought. I’ve never seen a credible source for the IP theory and since GW themselves keep using the old names where thematically appropriate and reprint Old World novels I feel like it’s just internet nerd hate-theorying.

Injuryprone posted:What's a Sarkeesian? Someone who made a documentary series that said "maybe cliché tropes of women in video games are lame and counterproductive, also here's some games that don't do that and are awesome like Beyond Good & Evil", which of course made Internet nerds lose their goddamn loving minds and send her death and rape threats.
