Normally I'd tell these two to kill themselves, but it's a great opportunity to start a hobby thread and prove you're not one of those faggots you describe, OP.

You should still tell them to kill themselves thoughbeit

I would estimate 98.77% (repeating of course) of Warhammer youtubers do not actually play the game.
>>
>>98144891
I find it hard to believe that at least some of these people aren’t just playing games in TTS then larping about how it all went down at “an event” implying it’s in person.
>>
>>98144890
lmao bases

>>98144908
Sorry chud are you telling me you don’t follow the Official Games Workshop Warhammer Painting Guides?
>>
>>98144865
They’re just wannabe janny trolls.
The general culture is that demands for models require models posted accompanying the demand and they never deliver. This shows they are trolls.
Thank emperor they’ll never actually become jannies.
>>
>>98144772
Never being able to change your army in any way sounds way to restrictive. Like in Deadzone for example I made the mistake of giving my Veer-Myn nightmares acid guns instead of drills even though they get a bonus for melee attacks because they're bigger models. I don't know how it works in 40gay kill team but they're supposedly very similar so I assume you could fuck yourself over if you built your army the wrong way.
>>
>>98148651
Building your army how
>you
want it, rather than optimally, is the essence of Stillman non-WAAC gaming. Fluffy lists is king.
While the Stillmania stuff is a bit of a satire, it is definitely meant to poke fun at meta powergamers who tailor lists and swap armies whenever the meta changes.
>>
>>98144806
you mean "if you even have a hobby"?
>>
>>98148830
Why wouldn't you? The point of a competition is to win.

>>98149329
How many world championships have you ever won in anything?

What's with the non sequitur? Had a stroke?

>the point of interacting with someone in a game of dice rolling is to win
This leads to a mindset of slavishly awaiting changes from GW for even the smallest things because either you’re too much of a sweat to be trusted to write rules or you feel like you’re deviating from the “right” way to play.
>>
>>98149329
The competition happens on the tabletop, only loser tacticlets use listbuilding to try and tilt the odds in their favour.
>>
>>98144772
This is why I love Turnip28, an wish it was more popular. I feel most tabletope games are too "gamey" in that they are all about list building, instead of your guys in scenarios.

You can just do this you know, you do mostly play with friends and not tryhards at the club right?

>You can just do this you know, you do mostly play with friends and not tryhards at the club right?
Hard to do when the friend group are addicted to GW FOMO
I could tolerate 8th and 9th because at least I could still make my own dudes and almost mandatory named characters did not gimp your army if you didn't take them.
10th is just ass for people that play wargames and know what 40k was before it happen.
>>
If a game isn't fun when you try to win it's a bad game.
>>
>>98151065
I would just try to convince them, tabletop is fucking lame when its treated like quickplay lobbies in a videogame. I dont play 40k anymore though so maybe its just not the same as it was, but I almost exclusively just play games with friends now and try different stuff.

Scenario games are king, having bad odds just makes it more fun to figure out how to overcome it, you know its not balanced, you have to try and score points in other ways than just weight of your list.
>>
>>98150807
No, if you respect your opponent, you should be using every advantage available.
>>
>watch slop video about tournament
>it's about the tournament
What the fuck were you expecting?
>>
>>98151105
I usually can wrangle them up to play 4th (they can use all their new shit there so is not a hard sell), but as soon GW drops an update for 10th or in this case 11th, they run back.
It would be tolerable if I did not also hear them bitch about 10/11th.
Like guys we already have 4th why do you insist on playing a shit version that you are still complaining about.
>>
>>98151031
Yeah my only issue is that everyone in my local area is a post 8th Ed player and they’re “fine with” what’s currently in vogue despite them constantly complaining about something or another. It’s like they have an idea of what they want but they’re too afraid they’ll get banned from their LGS for criticizing any of the products they sell. Ironic these same people will say things like “don’t yuck someone else’s yum, let people heckin enjoy things!” despite being exclusively catered to and refusing to deviate in any way from what GW sells them.
>>
>>98151120
Maybe some photos of said tournament and models used, but I’m sure the YouTuber didn’t actually play irl or did so with styrofoam packaging as terrain and neoprene circles.
>>
I watched that video too
>>
>>98149329
And thus the circle of is completed and Stillman proven right yet again.
>>
>>98149484
>muh non sequitur
The point is to win, but you'll never win. So maybe the point isn't to win everything you do?
>>
>>98153665
>why do people play football trying their best to win? they'll never win the World Cup
>>
>>98153665
I'll never win *the world championship* but why wouldn't I not be able to win the matches and tournaments that I'm playing?
