Why do Age of Sigmar models look like GW gave a 5 year old some paper and a bag of crayons? Its a soulless mess, more interested in selling you overpriced, low-effort plastic shit than creating a cool fun game with memorable lore. If youre into flash and action movies then this is the "game" for you. Otherwise, theres nothing to see here. Warhammer is dead, kids, and GW are laughing as they spit on its corpse.

>>94485857
Nu-40k and AoS feel like toylines rather than wargames desu
>>
>>94485857
>>94486032
Because the original Warhammer writers and sculptors grew up on classic fantasy books and sword and Sorcery movies. All those people are gone and they were replaced by gay millennials raised on video games and Korean MMOs

Its so over for Warhammer. And I dont say that with any glee.

>>94485857
Bad bait. That's all these commercial war games ever was; soulless games. Crying about Age of Sigmar specifically just outs you, retard.
>>
>>94487172
Nah, 40k and Warhammer Fantasy back in the day were pretty cool games. Age of Sigmar is simply a søy fuelled abomination however.
>>
>>94487181
Cool soulless games that were made to sell miniatures from the start. Fantasy was literally made as a way to sell DnD, and 40k was made as a shit spinoff that criticized Thatcher England. You're literally defending the most soulless war games in existence. Crying about onions when the games you love are cynical corporate projects.
And that's fine. Just don't pretend you're any less of a cuck than Smegmarites.

I mean, if you're gonna love slop, at least own it.

I miss the Perry's. They sculpted beautiful fantasy miniatures with realistic armor (with a fantastical twist) and anatomy. AoS is just a Warcraft with huge pauldrons and chest pieces that block all body movement.
>>
>>94487208
Feel free to say what game you play and post models.
>>
>>94485857
>>94486032
It’s fit the boardgamified nature of the rules. Ultimately they’re shifting away from grim dark fantasy/sci fi to a more colourful range because they think that’ll make them more “unique” (trademarkable)

The games were created by a bunch of sculptors, wargaming enthusiasts and TTRPG players to make money off things they loved. The soul only left after corporate interests started mandating design and production in the '00s.

primaris look better than any of the heroic scale marines. you're just blinded by nostalgia.

AoS has trash art direction though.
>>
>>94488596
No one mentioned Primaris or marines you dumb cunt. Go back to your containment general.
>>
What's the seething about? Fact that ToW doens't even get 1 full model of new support on average those days, while AoS got half a dozen kits based on a throwaway Underworlds plotpoint?

Why do you think TOW has anything to do with Age of Sigmar being a steaming pile of shit? You retards are so dumb the only thing you can think of is "Ben" and "TOW" when anyone criticizes your embarassing childrens game
>>
>>94488723
Cause only one demographic seeths about aos online. 13-17 year old fantasy fans
>>
>>94488676
Anon, we don't want the grimclusive treatment I hope GW release the least amount of models possible.
>>
>>94487705
GW was made by a dude who didn't care much about minis and sold his company the moment he could make a couple of millions
>>
>>94488756
What a stupid cope, there aren't Warhammer Fantasy fans who were 3 when it was killed off.
>>
>>94488756
Thats premium copium anon. 13-17 year olds play AoS, as intended by GW. I play WHF (not TOW) and have never met anyone under the age of 30 that plays it. Its literally just dads.
>>
>>94488810
>there aren't Warhammer Fantasy fans who were 3 when it was killed off.
Wfv only lives in video games and youtube videos. Demographic for that wasn't even alive duirng end times
>>
>>94487201
If you’re gonna criticize aos do it instead of hiding behind blatantly false statements like the 40K one and complete word salad to hide your tard rage
>>
>>94488823
>13-17 year olds play AoS, as intended by GW.
Now that's some bullshit. Very few people that young play wargames at all. Its completely dominated by older men. TOW's demographics lean to Gen X's in my experience while AoS tends to be dominated by Millennials. Zoomers have barely touched either; 40k gets an influx of Zoomers every now and again.
>>
>>94488018
>'Let's make ourselves more unique by doing what everyone else is doing'
This board is filled with retarded monkeys, I swear. No, following a general trend is not the same as lacking uniqueness. By that logic, the concept of being unique makes zero sense.

>Y-You can't criticize 40cuck like that! Just aim at Smegmar!
Pathetic.

>>94485857
Is this the worst GW model ever? The Varanguard Cavalry* from the same release are also up there. Flying shark, maybe. Grav-boot fake Marines are another strong contender, but maybe there needs to be a separate category for infantry-sized models.

*I think that's what they're called

They've always been toughness anon, the wargame was only created in the first place to sell models

Wfg was created as a free handout in order to get people to buy the models GW still had the liscenses to make after their own games died.

I think the age of sigmar models are way better than the 40k models

It was released during the End Times retard.

AoS may not have existed as an official consumer product, but End Times models are AoS models. Retard.

Who said anything about AoS? It's shit, but that doesn't have anything to do with judging the Demon Primarchs. A lot of the same mentality behind AoS design is apparent in Mortarion/Angron/Magnus.
>>
>>94490318
This resculpt is a disaster. Whyyyyy do they ruin things like this the old coteaz model was kill.
>>
>>94489401
Nah, again what the fuck are you even talking about. The og creators have come out and said it’s not that multiple times but I guess you missed out with all that cockcheese stuffing your ears. Again don’t make shit up and waffle about because you’re shitting yourself. If you’re gonna do it at least try to aim your arrow at the broad side of a barn

>>94491818
Genuinely believe there’s two teams working on these simultaneous codex releases. One team is all the less talented people while the other is alright. The shit one handled the Godawful, halfbaked and poorly thought out inquisition codex and they needed a sacrifice to keep up the whole “all new codexes come with a new mini” thing. It’s retarded and so poorly conceived they’re already having to rip the codex apart to take back deathwatch cause they managed to nerf the weakest faction in the game by sticking it in there

Stop samefagging sigshitter

Nerd pop culture has stopped appealing to kids and their mothers and now directly markets to manchildren who really want to spend 500+ dollars on thanos glove made out of diecast and gold flake. Almost the entire toy and merch scene is chasing either suspiciously wealthy geeks or dudes who are happy living paycheck to paycheck waiting for their plastic crack.

New cartoons sometimes don't even really get toys. They're instead gonna make a new, premium relaunch of some forgotten dogshit cartoon from when you personally were 12.

Oh look, another circlejerk of how shit everything is nowadays with the only images being official corporate sales pictures.
Can't wait to see all the sovlful WIP and well-presented Oldhammer units that these guys are using in their many games with their many friends!
Because if someone has strong feelings on the matter, they themselves would be doing something to correct the problem, right?
>>
>>94492425
Isn't that how Fantasy was at the end?
>>
>>94492657
No. It was infantry deathballs and broken magic, both of which are preferable to dragon/cav spam at least. Though thats a matter of taste I suppose.
>>
>>94492657
Yes, and the new models back then were too criticised for being overdesigned WoW trash with ridiculous proportions. 8th edition was awfull.

I'm 22 and I play Warhammer Fantasy. It's weird being the youngest person at my LGS.
>>
>>94489807
It's a personal offence. I really cannot stand it even existing as a unit.
>>
>>94489807
I honestly think it is the worst model in all of TOW, both new and old ranges. Its just so fucking bad. Apart from looking like total dogshit its just such a blatant attempt by GW to AoSify the game with big centrepiece models

Im convinced that "too cluttered" crowd just never seen a miniature in real life, so their only point of reference are GW edge-highlited promo-photos. Its the same with people praising the green knight miniature which has nothing special about it, except the great freehand on the horse's cloth

AoS has some egregiously ugly models like Archaeon, the fat new Darkoath.

But it also has some sensational models too.

Overall it's better than 40k as at least they're able to take some risks and use some creativity

>>94497212
The Green Knight is a wonderful sculpt. Simple yet wonderful. It's regarded as an excellent sculpt because it was the first thing sculpted by one of the Perry twins (I think Alan) after he got his sculpting hand blown off during a reenactment by a cannon. That's part of what makes it a classic and it's paired with the excellent paint job to make such an amazing model. It doesn't have a ridiculous amount of details shoved in where they're not even necessary just so GW can sell more paints for you to follow the basecoat - wash - highlight - edge highlight Citadel Paint™ing Method™. It just works and is one of, if not, the best Bretonnian miniatures that has been or will ever be made, especially going forward.
