OhDearGodNo posted:For the OP, the Warhammer subreddit should be r/warhammer40k. It's larger and the mods don't ban you just for existing. Seconding this, sending people to /r/Warhammer is basically child abuse. Also, greatest OP. Thanks for the hard work on this guys.

Never played 40k proper, just modeled and been into the specialist games (I'm that one guy that actually got Betrayal at Calth to play the board game). I grabbed Dark Imperium because I hate money, but I can't decide between Dark Angels and Imperial Fists. I know the fluff, but game wise, what's going to be the main difference in play style?

HardCoil posted:drat, somebody published that? My money was on 'fanfiction' You're wrong, yet also right. Also to post something besides addressing the terrible pseudo-philosophy, are there any Minnesota goons out there? I'm just getting into the game for the first time with Dark Imperium and figured I'd start looking for some action in the Twin Cities.

I know people are saying they don’t like the direction they’re taking the Emperor, with him being so cold and emotionless, but being an immobile corpse for 10,000 years and existing only in a constant state of battling interdimensional hellspace demons is bound to sap some humanity out of a person. I don’t think it cheapens the Heresy if the Emperor isn’t the same after ten millennia of an unliving torment.

goose willis posted:Will anything get rid of Krylon primer? The second batch of models I primed with it came out looking blotchy and gross and over-primed and I need to correct this mistake I had partial success with Super Clean, but be careful when scrubbing because it won't get it all and some of it is bonded to the plastic, so if you're too aggressive you can really gently caress the model up. Just go over it with a toothbrush until it's Good Enough (tm) to re-prime lightly for a painting surface.

Wait a few minutes, slap some microsol over. Let it dry, repeat until there are no wrinkles. Varnish over. Awesome, thanks for that. Guess I can finally use that ‘ardcoat to lay down a gloss layer.

To be honest I’m impressed how hard they work to make sure everyone can use practically anything they’ve ever purchased. I’m a relative newcomer so I don’t need any indexes or anything but it seems like most companies would eventually stop supporting poo poo they haven’t sold in over a decade.

ineptmule posted:From my eyes-and-hands-on experience - and of products that people here applaud as being excellent - no competitor of GW yet makes plastics of an equal quality. I bookmarked the Death Thread originally just to watch the convo when I first got into miniatures, in hopes I’d get the scoop on other manufacturers as good as GW that I might not have heard of. Turns out they don’t exist. People can dislike the theme and the style all they want, but anyone saying that another manufacturer working with polystyrene, or other inferior plastics, is within ten years of GW is just trying really hard to justify their personal boycott.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:You're a bit off the mark there I think. They've been making the bulk of the plastics in Lenton forever. As far as I know the crown jewels of GW, the actual plastic army units, never went to China. Their simpler/bulkier scenery stuff was (may still) be made there. It came pre-clipped from the sprue and was a more brittle feeling plastic. They also experimented with making some FW kits there I believe, but they stopped that. They definitely still print books in China, but that's irrelevant. Yep. Some of their printing is even done in the UK, they seem to only outsource the hardcover stuff that would be horrendously expensive. Or maybe they mix it up, but some of my soft rulebooks for things have said Printed in the UK.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:And they don't get to pick and choose about pursuing infringement at a corporate level. They are required to vigorously defend their IP by law. This is the real bitch of it. Old GW was undoubtedly unreasonable dickheads about some things, but sometimes they're required to be or they risk losing the IP. This looks like the guy was just jumping the gun before having any information and assumed GW was the bad guy, though.

Corrode posted:It's basically 'water is wet' - factual but meaningless. The kind of guys who sneer at the whole idea of tournaments or competitive play are not gonna be convinced by it, and functioning humans already understand everything it says. I think it would've been better had the guy asked the people why they felt that way and addressed that, instead of just going with the 'nuh uh' response to their claims. I don't attend tournaments for anything because of attending tournaments previously. I don't sneer at people that do, but the kind of people and attitudes I ran into made it not worth it. Though maybe I need to get over it since I'm 1,000 miles away from my friends and have become a nerd hermit (nermit?).

I always planned to grow up and stop playing with toys eventually but I guess that's never going to happen. However, I'm impressed that these dead comedy forums from 1999 are still somehow attracting a new generation.

GW is right and good for wanting to control the online image of their games via the official social media accounts.

Broken Record Talk posted:Fulgrim is one of the best books from the Heresy era, and totally does Slannesh right. Slannesh can work, GW just needs to do a little more to make it less "tits, rear end, and dick" and more "obsession to the point of total corruption". Slaneesh is an important part of the Warhammer world. It's like bait, the groggiest nards and neckiest beards just can't help but dive in and create abominations that the rest of the community knows to ostracize them for. Without Slaneesh you might accidentally peg one of those people as normal and interact.
