Unironically, "playing" Warhammer might actually be the worst aspect of the hobby.
>>97795685Good thing you've never done that.

>>97795966>>97795947Bro thought this reddit reply cooked lmfao
>>97795685Yeah man the games fucking suck but really they're just an excuse to hang out with your mates, which is always fun.
>>97795685have a bong before you play, it's great
>>97795685it's cruel how unfun this format of game is considering the financial, temporal, and spatial investment. but it just sucks.RTS at least speeds it up.painting and memes is the only appeal (maybe lore, MAYBE) versus doing anything else with your short life besides wasting a perfectly good afternoon setting up and "playing" (suffering) war hammer
>>97796529I love kitbashing, writing lore and drawing maps, but actually playing Warhammer is a slog. I drink while playing to make it bearable (some of my opponents in the past did indeed partake of the devil's lettuce during games).
>>97795685my games never looked like that. this brainrot started a few years back when tourney fags took over 40k. which was also not too long after GW made the official board size 4x4 down from 6x4
>>97796549>>97796490>>97798465back in 3rd ed 40k the games were actually enjoyable to play. tow and kill team only good games left, 40k is dogshit because its a victim of its own success. gw could smear shit on a page and still sell millions of dollars in 40k minis, it doesn't matter.
>>97795685>look into how 40k plays>it's just two armies taking turns unloading their abilities into each otherVery much an outsider to wargames, but it seems an issue of scale more than anything?
>>97796549There are also a few cool TRPGs from back in the day (Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, etc), but that's not something you're likely to engage with unless you have a friend who both GMs and also likes the setting
>>97798983Nope, there are hundreds of historical or /awg/ games that do the scale very well. The issue is that GW business model is selling FOMO models to paypiggies, not wargaming.
>>97795685WAACfaggery always trickles down into even casual play.What annoys me is that if it is inevitable that L shaped terrain is going to happen then why is no effort put into the terrain to at least "hide" that they are "L" shaped or at least to try and make them look good?
>>97798983With regard to the rules, the issue is that they are unwilling to slaughter sacred cows with the "I-go-you-go" turn format being first and foremost.
>>97795685>"playing" Warhammer might actually be the worst aspect of the hobby.No. The worst aspect of Wargammer is the fact that they literally never stop fucking with the rules. Every month they roll out a dataslate or a codex or a balance patch or some other retarded fucking shit, in addition to a new edition every two years. What the fuck is the point of learning the game when it's going to change in a few weeks anyway? It's so retarded. Rules should be set in stone and not change. Point values should mostly not change. I hate having to relearn shit.
>>97799338>I hate having to relearn rules Yet you keep doing it anyways.
>>97795685No shit. And it's not even a recent thing. It was the worst aspect in 4th and 5th edition already. It becomes okay, if the people you are playing with are your friends.. but anything you do with them is fun.
>>97798942So much soul it fucking hurts.
>>97795685Did you know that you are responsible for making your terrain and models yourself?
>>97798942>killteam Stop larping
>>97796529So is watching paint dry.
>>97787166What the fuck made you think that your shitty response needed its own thread?
>>97799267>>97799315Huh. Will read into other wargames then, I'm curious about how they improve on things.
>>97796490>but really they're just an excuse to hang out with your mates, which is always fun.You clearly aren't a burger. They insist that the only way to play is to go to a retail establishment and play with the dregs of humanity who aren't welcome anywhere else (not making the connection that they are also not welcome anywhere else).
>>97799315How hard would it be to just not do that? If players just decided to use some alternating unit order of priority, would it jusf fuck up the game completely, or would it still function?
>>97800263Fuck it up completely
>>97795685What a soulless table
