Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Orks are legit funny as poo poo and own I’ve scratched my warhammer itch by watching Total War Warhammer on youtube, one of the fun things about orks/goblins is that while the units will break and run away fairly easily, they also rally easily so you get this emergent gameplay where half the orks run, turn around and charge back in in waves its pure chaos and highly entertaining

some college friends once played an Eldar 40k army vs. Fantasy Lizardmen using made up rules and it was very entertaining an entire pool table covered almost entirely with lizards shooting arrows at space elves with lasers

Cornwind Evil posted:Lots of "This weapon can cut through armor that should be able to stop moons from crushing its wearer like it's made of paper!" and "This guy picked up this demon who ate ten planets and piledrove him so hard he turned into an accordion!". the actual tabletop gameplay is really poorly thought out and not good or balanced at all and leads to “friends” who’ve a spent over a $1000 on toys they painted for hours arguing until they don’t want to hang out ever again

Elukka posted:WHFB was always high fantasy but it wasn't uniformly high fantasy, I think that's the thing. There's contrast. The dragons and helicopters and steam tanks and magic spells exist in a substrate of mundane spearmen, archers and cavalry. As much as traditional strategy etc is fun, Total War Warhammer 2 for a while had the Vampire Blob where you get all your guys in a group and have health regeneration, unbreakable leadership and AOE spells going off at once and it kind of broke the game as demonstrated in this video that has 14 whole views https://youtu.be/wsbw2Zb38Uw?si=qZg5kgBYoA7HF2U0

my 40k group were a bunch of hipstery college students who were playing it semi-ironically at first but who then got way too into it and arguments over the terrible rules helped fracture the friend group which was a shame because several of them had wealthy-ish parents who had pool tables in the basement and unused pool tables are the perfect army man substrate

hey now women in 40k have great representation including the Sisters of battle (catholic bikini ladies) and the Dark Eldar (goth bikini ladies) also the chaos demon Slaneesh is often portrayed as a kind of spooky lady (in a bikini), due to the scientific fact that all sex is bad and evil

the henry caville show def needs an ork episode hatching out of mushrooms, instinctively building weapons and armor and vehicles, fightin’, the works. All from the ork point of view- “hey wat are we doin’ this all for? *shrugs*” It could be a comedy episode and end with main cast characters showing up to fight the orks

Disco Pope posted:While I was in the store, some dude was complaining to the manager about new people coming into the hobby at the expense of die-hards lmao. this will always be the single biggest problem with any hobby really but games in general why would you be mad to have more people to do fun stuff with? would it really be better to have the same 3 guys to min max power game at and remove all possibility of fun or new experiences? can those three guys single handedly keep a games store in business? at the prices they charge they might actually what if GULP a GIRL showed up??

thin blue whine posted:Can someone explain what a "squig" is and what it does exactly? I've had a general idea but then sometimes it seems like it does something more and different than what I thought and I get confused. I know nothing about Orkz other than general carryover lore from 3rd edition. squigs is da best they our friendz! they eat uz an’ we eat dem!

Your Family posted:Why is it that, in a lot of 40k artwork, the battlefields always seemed cramped and congested and there's just way too many loving dudes? Is there a reason for that? I know nothing of these games, but that's the one thing that always stood out to me: all the soldiers so crammed into every battle they're in. it’s because all warhamm games irl take place either in your rich friend’s parents basement (on the pool table next to the washing machine) or in a small storage space sized storefront full of fat guys in a half empty strip mall on a series of folding tables and there is never enough space to lay out all the army man’s fully

Yvonmukluk posted:I like the alternative take that in Star Trek or a similar series they actually would be seen as a villainous race given they're building a caste-based hegemony at the point of a gun but because they are willing to try soft power first and won't kill you outright if they win they're one of the more moral factions in 40k by default. I agree with the Tau as the tragicomic straight man, it’s fun orks: SMASH! KRUMP! FIGHTIN! tau: My Goodness clearly this people just needs Enlightened Leadership *laser noises*
