    I'm sure your Insignia makes you smell like a manly spring meadow.

    Fedoras are cool. Like Fezs.

    More like in it.

    The criticism on the shirt that it's ugly, uses too many different fonts, and is entirely incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't know what warhammer fantasy battles is, is a valid criticism. However "geeks", typically "anti-social fanatics" don't care about "fashion"

    I still see overweight men with huge beer guts with their messenger bags that have anime girls on them.

    Furthermore as Alaric noted it's a niche market shirt. It's not "fashion." Graphic tees are not "fashion" and neither are blue jeans (or sweat pants, but some sweat pants are fashion, it gets confusing fast, hell some blue jeans are fashion but that just means you paid more for them ).

    Like, for example, a story which comes to mind involves a person who went to a summer camp for ruby programming, in ruby a symbol is preceded by ":" as in php it would be preceded by "$" or something similar, essentially :variable would tell the code that variable is special, it's not just text, it's a symbol.

    So one guy had a shirt which simply said ":SEX" which, if you know ruby, you read it as "Sex Symbol"

    Pretty clever, no? Well to everyone who doesn't know ruby (most people) it reads as "colon sex" and that's got a lot of different connotations than "sex symbol".


    So yes, you're welcome to wear this ugly shirt (it's pretty funny though) and declare your love for an unsupported, dead tabletop fantasy wargame which was a small part of a niche hobby.

    I'm just surprised that people are paying this much money for a junk t-shirt, I would think that given how much complaining I hear about prices people wouldn't be so quick to pay so much for a t-shirt and instead would focus on better value buys at local establishments :P

    Clothes are not a medium for jokes. Especially crap ones that nerds think are clever.

    There's an entire industry that disagrees with you, but I'm guessing this isn't a new feeling.

    I kind of like it. I'll agree that it's not pretty but I'd wear it to the local GW if I had any reason to go there.

    Which is pretty funny though as all GW systems are pretty much unsupported compared to KoW. And to see AoS as more as a "small part of a niche hobby" would also be bold.

    Yeah that kings of war sure is well supported. With it's total lack of any fun game play.

    You've never played Kings of War I'm assuming.

    and are you're obviously either trolling or ignorant. Mantic don't support their games, they Kickstart them, release a half-arsed product and have moved on the next Kickstarter before anyone even gets everything they paid for.
