I've personally been starting to drift away from 40k but it's nothing to do with AoS (much as I hate it) or a break in 40k releases. It's kind of the opposite, in fact. I feel they've been releasing...

Honestly man, for all that you quip about the folks at Warseer throwing tantrums over this, they're the only ones who seem to be feeling as pissed off as me. I'm actually shocked at how aggressively...
The really egregious thing about these "joke" rules is how forced it all seems. It's like they're desperately going "this is fun, see! Look how fun and random this all is! Guys? FUN!"
I already...
It's fine if this isn't a game for Warhammer fans. But where are Warhammer fans to go? It certainly isn't GW (inb4 "hurr durr just play 8th hurrr"), so I can only assume the GW design team are happy...
All out on New Zealand's site. No points values, 4pg rulebook and Warscrolls is all you get. Like I've been saying from the start. Hard not to look smug right now.
Ah, bugger it.
*adopts the...
Mantic are releasing Kings of War 2nd Ed for free next Friday. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Y'know, once we're all done licking each others' balls and such.
Yeah, if it's a choice between an unsupported game that some stores are literally not letting you play, or a regularly updated and supported ruleset from Mantic, I know which one I'd choose. Saying...
Wish I'd known dude, I just sold about 4000pts of Wood Elves!
This isn't a positive comment! LET'S DOGPILE HIM, GUYS!
Joking aside, I feel your pain. I sold up about a month ago when it was abundantly clear that AoS was replacing WHFB. I don't want yet...
Sorry, but when people reply to any critical opinion with "just wait until it's out before you judge! Stop being a hater!" and then, in the same sentence, unironically say "I'm really excited!" it...
And in telling everyone who pointed that out that they're a "troll" or "hater." Maybe the self-appointed online positivity police will calm the hell down now.
Agreed Daboarder, it got pretty bloody annoying being told "you're just a hater" whenever I voiced my concerns (that turned out to be 100% accurate). I mean, are these people 5 year olds or...
My local GW is telling people that they can only play Fantasy on the designated night for OOP games ("Anything Goes Wednesday" I believe). Fantasy is dead. There will be no 9th. If you don't like AoS...
Yep. The great strength of 40k (for all its many, many faults) is that you can say "wanna play 1500pts?" and then play a game. Bam. Minimal set-up time, just agreeing on a pts limit, then you're...
"You don't need points values! It's not GW's job to write a game that makes sense, you and your opponent have to do that!"
Gee, sounds real fun.
The wholesale chucking of a venerable IP, combined with the lack of communication from GW about the massive changes they were planning have really got me down on the hobby. GW need to start...
Leaked rules out. Horribly simplified. No semblance of strategy. It doesn't even tell you how to build an army beyond "take as many models as you want." Do not like.
Short sentences.
Steve The Warboss, 'nuff said.
Nice models, still not buying into it. GW engendered too much bad blood when they just nuked the whole Fantasy setting that I've been into since I was a wee yin.
His pose may suit his fluff and personality but as a model, it's still pretty boring. Still a gorgeous model though, the detail is incredible.
I'd give it 8/10, a slightly more dynamic pose would...
Totally agree, ATSKNF and Fearless are so ubiquitous that they've rendered fear into nothing more than a useless points tax that you have to pay for models who happen to have the rule.
Fearless...
Aaaaand, people still aren't getting my point.
*sigh*
I don't. Care. About. Power. Level.
I care about our unique mechanics (such as turn one, alpha striking termie armies, which, by the...
Yes, Deathwing are very reliable at being overcosted as hell because Fearless. And you're really not seeing my point: a few different weapon options doesn't make up for the fact that our general...
So because we get a couple more options (at vastly inflated costs that render said options almost useless), we should be fine with vanilla marines suddenly having the turn 1 alpha striking termie...
I don't really care about being strong or competitive. I've made my peace with playing with weak sauce after years of Dark Angels and Dark Eldar :p
What I resent is that all the things that made...
