Humans have many races and ethnicities here on Earth. Why is it surprising that they would in space as well?

Jesus you faggots are out in full force with the ragebait today. Is discord down or something?

I just want more full helmets instead of faces. These guys are fighting a fucking war, they need to be protected from shrapnel.

This is the real problem. This box could include 30 of the manliest, whitest, most perfect aryan heads ever sculpted by human hands and I still wouldn't go anywhere near it because who the fuck wants thirty bare Space Marine heads? Now a big bucket of helmets (including at least 10 'plain' Mk.VII helmets) and maybe ten or so bare heads and that's a sure-fire seller right there. Maybe even throw in a couple of Mk.IV and Mk.V helmets if they're feeling particularly daring.

I don't care for faces for they can all be painted any skin color you want
My main issue is lack of helmets

100% and this is how you know it's exclusively secondaries pissing themselves over this shitty product. It's bad for like 2 or 3 real reasons before you even get down to the pointless SOME OF THEM ARE BLACKS and the schizo SOME OF THEM ARE GIRLS levels.

Finding the answer to this question requires more context.
It would surprise me if such context was provided.

Why get mad over a game that you dont even play?

>>96814480
Getting mad over games unplayed has been the mode of operations of those forcing changes to the hobby for over ten years now.

>>96814228
I actually like the set, I have all the MK VIIs I could ever need and more from the old tactical squads, but all the bare heads I have are generic Sgt. Baldeus Baredome, so a selection of different facial feature, facial hair, hairstyles, implants, etc. is actually something I welcome. My marines were always helmeted, even the characters, but only partially due to awesomeness of MK VII and knightly helmets, the other part was zero interesint bareheaded options.

Faggots hate a blank canvas. It’s all well and good I suppose if the tech and interest is there to represent different concepts of a unit down to their physiognomic/ethnic traits but that’s not, as anyone knows and who is even remotely capable of representing their own self-interest, what is going on. At face value none of these changes, like so much else, are really that bad, right? That’s a stale refrain decades out of date at this point. Who’s pushing it and why are they doing it? There was nothing stopping a homebrew or celestial lions chapter before. Representing the identities and “communities” of peoples and interest groups that don’t play the game or at least never have in large numbers and aren’t even affiliated with the back of the house artistry/business is the problem. And always with self pity, casuistry, and condescension. There’s no defense against this without stepping outside what is supposed to be a polite, prepackaged “politics” today. That makes otherwise disinterested but sensible people who just want to grill or hobby or whatever annoyed. No one wants to be an impotent pile driver raging against people who constantly talk about how weak and marginalized they are because that does look ridiculous, while the previous solution of bullying and violence gets you a struggle session. Death of a hobby, etc. here’s a (you)

I have not bought any warhammer shit since like 2012 or so, fell out of the hobby. When I tried to come back I noticed they changed the art style and made everything look worse or retarded.


this head pack thing reminds me why I don’t buy GW shit anymore. This could have been a home run with lots of legacy helmets instead of the autistic new design. They purposefully only added a few legacy helmets because you would need to buy multiple packs to get enough. it’s all calculated bullshit aimed at fucking over consumers. Every single time with these cock suckers.

I think the dumbing down of America is working. People just don't have the abstract thinking ability to imagine themselves as someone else and don't have the empathy to care about a character who isn't an avatar of themselves.

Its not about surprising. I just dont wanna see em in these times we currently live in. It has been spoiled for me. Simple as.

Because those specific groups of humans have a series of implants that are designed to standardize their phenotypic expressions into a very specific mold?


Seriously a BIG part of why Astartes weren't actually cool based gigachads WAS their autistic racial exclusiveness, where they'd only pull from very selective pools, and critique any physiological deviation. It was part of what made them 'not good guys'. Yeah the not-romans have an excuse, but going by the hard lore, anything that doesn't look like a copy of their Primarch, is a geneseed failure to express fully, or a full on mutation in expression resulting in puffy features. This is why Salamanders are not nigga black, but coal black. Their melanochrome can't down-regulate melanin expression, and they live on a high-radioactivity planet

All that being said, I do actually like the fact it's not all sameface, and that some of them are butt ugly. It speaks to slightly better sculpting standards. But those skin colours should be standardized. Uniform. Or different than what the face structure implies to modern ethnic groups, and dependent on who's holding the plasma cannon today.

Why is it when a beakie marine misplaces a relic, the arbites and inquisition are called but some rubiconer commits exterminatus and no one says a word? Really makes ya think

Nobody fucking cares about the races, the problem is 3 MK7
