Wait so hold on. The booby traps you set here don't actually... do anything. They don't explode. They don't even slow down the opponent. Not even the lazy route of making it dangerous terrain. They just do literally nothing on their own. All they do is give you bonus VP for killing guys standing near them. So the traps themselves add ZERO fucking lethality or even "disruption" which is the whole point.GW is trying to pull a fast one on us pretending to make more narrative mission rules while putting out dogshit like this that is literally functionally IDENTICAL to "raising banners", just pointless action monkey shit that doesn't have any real narrative mechanic to it, reskinned over and over. It's obvious they didn't even playtest this, or someone would have asked during a game "uh, so, what do the traps actually DO", they just shit this out probably with ChatGPT and slapped it on some cardboard and expect us to shell out to buy the mission deck like good goyim.I'm so fucking sick of it, man. 11th edition already looks like a flop between this and the extremely boring models they're showing off. I know it won't actually be a flop because people keep paying but like, why. At what point do we just collectively decide to play a better older edition and 3D print all the models?

>>97851232>complaining about 40k thread on the board made because of 40kThanks for letting us know you're a newfag dude
>>97851187Its not a literal trap (as in spring loaded), its a setup where you are usinga peice of terrain as a plan to ambush/choke point and destroy a bunch of your opponents models. You are stupid, and too stupid to know it.
>>97851271>card literally says "lay minefields" and the action is called "booby trap" and requires you to stand on the piece of terrain you are "trapping"No dude you are actually fucking retarded and cannot handle even basic reading comprehension.
>>97851277>lore/flavor text>"...dig trenches and draw the enemy into pre-prepared killing zones."too long didn't read? I bet you use clear plasic terrain as well.
>>97851300>>lore/flavor textYeah that's the whole fucking point dipshit, the rules don't represent the flavor text which is what narrative rules are supposed to do.>dig trenchesSo why don't they slow the enemy? Not to mention that you can't just ignore the minefield part because it's inconvenient to your dumbass retard argument.Nor can you address the fact that the action is literally called "booby trap" not "ambush with gunfire" and needs you to actually stand on the terrain first meaning you are physically doing something to it. You just ignored all that too.You are too stupid to handle basic reading comprehension? Really? Just get out of the thread if you're going to be this retarded.
>>97851317>the action is literally called "booby trap">You are too stupid to handle basic reading comprehension?its called Death TrapWhat is it your asking for again? for GW to sell you a $60 sprue of little trip wires and stuff? Its narrative, your suppose to use your imagination a little.I dont want you to quit the game man, you just gotta be creative.
>>97851411>its called Death TrapAnon.
>>97851265Maybe he's not a newfag, maybe he's just a retard.
>>97851265If you're old ejough to remember Warhammer Wednesdays taking over /b/ you're old enough to remember Warhammer before it got aids from a truckstop biker orgy, and started to go senile.
>>97851232Another virtue signaled>>97852572So you didn't actually hide the thread huh :^)>a-actually I'm not him I'm just answering for him because there's so many of us sensible 40k haters!
>>97851317I'm pretty sure the traps and whatnot aren't there for the small force you're currently fighting against, but for the rest of the war effort, which is why completing the trap field wins you the game. You've achieved your tactical objective and it will (should) impact the rest of the campaign.
You know I played some OG Necromunda at the weekend and there were two guys playing 3rd edition 40k near us, and it was such a different mood compared to nu40k. It's actually disgusting what makes the pigs holler and squeal these days.

>>97853250I don't think the flavour text for the missins is responsible for you taking named characters to every game.

>>97853988just threw up thanks
>>97853988This with an equal degree of contemptuous irony.Please Lord God lay waste to modern GW and let a warrior of Christ take charge and reorganize the company.
>>97852850Those converted/scratchbuilt trukks and battlewagon and buggies are so fucking SOVL its bringing a tear to my eye. God I miss this era of 40k.
>>97853512Yes, this is actually a good change. Nothing that you couldn't homebrew on the spot before sure, but it's still nice to see.
>>97851187>At what point do we just collectively decideIn the same moment we agree on which edition is the best. In other words, never.Some people will go back to their favorite older edition, some will tweak rules and play with their local group, some will 3d print, some will collect older models, some will convert new ones, some will remain on the leash and continue to paypig. Herding all those cats is an excuse in futility, take care of yourself and your group and ignore random faggots.
>>97853988>>no psykers>>no wargearWutGod's I'm glad I only play midhammer, that sounds cancerous. How does the game lack psykers and warhead, how is that possible?I remember the last time we played at our LGS, we set up the terrain to represent a city area with a square at one end, numerous streets, alleys, etc. The nuhammer players next to us genuinely seemed unable to comprehend our setup or how our troops where able to be out of cover and not die.
>>97851232>>>97851187 (OP)A James Workshop thread died for this James Workshop thread! You monsters; think of James Workshop!
>>97860064>How does the game lack psykers and warhead, how is that possible?All psychic abilities were just turned into guns with the PSYCHIC tag (this does absolutely nothing on its own) or aura abilities that are always active. No more psychic tests, no more perils of the warp, no more deny the witch, no more choosing which powers each of your psykers take, nothing.Wargear is all free and tons of options were just deleted so you just always take the strongest of whatever is available which isn't much.Yes it is exactly as fucking cancerous as it sounds.
>>97851187>within range of one objective>but not your home objective!>or within one terrain area>but not within your deployment zone!>and not yet trapped by you>and only in your shooting phase>and only applies to one of your units>and...!Jesus it reads like a fucking Yu Gi Oh card.
yeah but when they say booby you think of tits and it activates your neurons in a good way.
