Bongs got buck broken by the Germans and ran for their lives at Dunkirk, leaving the majority of the French behind. Bongs portray this embarrassing loss as a heroic rescue. Bongs then proceeded to hide for the next several years underground, only being saved by a favourable geography while the Germans fucked up all of their major cities. Bongs then proceed to portray this as a heroic "battle" when it was just hiding and holding out and, yet again, waiting for a rescue.

Not really. They can't even universally agree on when it began and end. The "Battle" of Britain was more just a mistaken German idea that terror bombing Britain would compel it to sign a treaty and exit the war. It otherwise decimated the RAF, which is somewhat embarrassing when you consider how disadvantageous the entire thing was for the Germans.
World War 2 in general was a Pyrrhic victory for Britain. The Great War crippled their Empire, and WW2 destroyed what was left.

WHY DOES ANYONE ASSEMBLE AND PAINT THESE

>>97311807
yeah but cutting them before I glue them together seems ???????? noob friendly????? I'm just gonna hack them apart later ig

honestly retarded that anyone buys this shit. 200$ for the kit and each pot of paint is 10$ and I despise the stupid pots (but admittedly some of the paints are quite nice, even if I spill them out they turn into clumpy goop 1/2 way through using them because I can't figure out how to close the pot correctly)

like is this just me getting filtered or is this actual garbage or what
>>
>>97311784
Most of the kits now are as kitbash-averse as humanly possible, yes. The quality is also very inconsistent; the detail is better across the board, but in multiple cases it's WORSE than it was before.

That said, you can still kitbash a lot, but be prepared to sculpt/print a lot if you are into natural stuff/monsters.
>>
>>97311852
Anon, limitation breeds creativity, you can get as many if not more poses out of the models now, if you're willing to put in the work, which I assume you do since you want to get into the hobby and already have kitbashing in mind.
>like is this just me getting filtered
As things look now, I'm sorry to say, it looks that way. The first thing I can suggest if you want to get into the hobby relatively seriously is working on your patience.
>>
>>97311852
>like is this just me getting filtered or is this actual garbage or what
It's just monopose push-fit crap meant for idiots, because that's the majority of their audience. If you wanna get creative, you need some of the older sets they still sell or take the next step into conversions.

It's always been shameful to associate with 4chan in polite company, but the reason used to because people though 4chan was all trolls and hackers and child porn, rather than any specific political view. You had pundits calling 4chan radical leftist or radical rightwing website depending on which side of the aisle they were in, and 4chan had both people posting memes about gassing jews and people trolling religious fundamentalists.
However, you went outside of /b/ and people rarely brought up politics, and why would they? The whole point of 4chan was anonymity, so who you were in real life didn't really matter. When you posted on /tg/ you had no information about the other anons in the thread beyond their opinion on elves or whatever the topic was. And people generally preferred to keep it that way, because you came to /tg/ to talk about roleplaying and wargames and things related to them, not real-world politics. If somebody did try to inject real-world politics in a thread about elves, most people would consider it an attempt at trolling and not engage. Saying back then you could have civil discussion isn't exactly correct since anons have always been prone to calling each other niggerfaggots over slightest disagreements, but you could at least have on-topic discussion and treat the edition-war flaming and the like as part of the board culture.

Tbh, I think what changed was two things happening at about the same time. Media started increasingly referring 4chan as a neo-nazi website at around the time being a nazi became cool again, flooding the place with people who specifically wanted to be part of the neo-nazi club and injected their political opinions on everything to show how cool they were, and social media poisoning discourse on the internet by getting people to lock themselves in echo-chamber groups and algorithms only showing them increasingly radical articles that match their own political views.
>>
>>97310726
(Continued)

That has led to people on social media, and the internet as a whole, increasingly adopting a culture where you political views are seen as your main defining trait, and you have to performatively announce those views while denouncing opposing views in order to gain clout (likes/upvotes/whatever) with people of "your" group.
So now, instead of not bringing up their political views when talking about elves since it's not relevant, you have people who even when anonymous must loudly announce what team they're on and try to make all discussion revolve around how awesome their team is and how everything bad is the fault of the other team.

Everyone in this board acts like they are absolutely angry about everything, obvious jokes are met with vitriol, questions are met with hostility, and no one is willing to engage in conversation with others.

It's like everyone here hates /tg/ and traditional games but have nowhere else to go so they just stew here, angry and impotent.

The Americans generally beat the other western powers to the use of the locomotive in warfare. While all powers saw the logistical usage, the first historical instance of what we would describe as a train designed for warfare, an armoured train, was the 'Armoured Battery', along the Baltimore-Pennsylvania railway network, whose workers had been continually subject to Confederate raids. It's more or less just iron plates nailed to a boxcar, with a 24-pounder on a turntable at the front. Gunholes for fifty riflemen were drilled into the sides of the boxcar.
The British famously used more modern examples during the Boer War, and the Germans and Austrians would go on to build entire armoured railway batteries, but that would be pushing things a bit too far. It fits best with the American frontier ingenuity trope.

No argument here. The British did use an armored train during the Anglo-Egyptian war but that's already what directly inspires a lot of the traction engine (Also the Steam Sappers of one of the Ashante Expeditions) so giving them another armored vehicle would be redundant.

Are flails more tonally appropiate for high level warriors, while maces and axes are for noob warriors?

I think that somehow they are like the blunt weapon progress equivalent of the young hero who starts with a rusty or wooden saber and gets the ornate bastard sword at the end of the game. Its just me?

This.
It already happened with the comic industry. People thought it was an investment, so they bought and bought. The whole thing was a speculation scam, the industry for it collapses, and now comics are shit and collecting them is self-evidently retarded unless you're just an older millennial and you can't let go.
MtG is in the exact same place, except its collapse is just slightly more delayed. Trying to make money from is blisteringly stupid unless it's just a hobby. Buying and selling cards is fine if you pretend it's the adult version of "trading card game," but expecting it to be a career or even viable in the near future is psycho. MtG is obviously on its last legs, has been for a while.

Christmas edition

▶What is Kingdom Death?
Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.

▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?
Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.

Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0Ac

The Game is broken up into 3 phases:
1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.
2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.
3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.

Just hire a woman of the night. Cheaper than having a wife or girlfriend anyways. No matter that trans men do they never really pass. Except in very specific lighting and camera conditions.

Fantasy artwork used to understand this. But now D&D and other fantasy artwork make half their characters look trans. Which is bizarre, I thought the goal was to be a woman not an insane man in a wig.
