Is the "grimdark unrecognizable from tabletop viewing" a cope meme and it is really just fine?
I'll be honest I'm looking for an equilibrium between the grimdark style and the style of brighter basecoats with some diluted black or brown acrylic wash over it.
Mostly because I just want to stick with acrylics.

>>98277522
It's Sunday. And I couldn't be bothered to fix the OP stuff so I decided to be cheeky.

If you want this to be a thing then it wouldn't hurt.
The Imperium is a dystopia and cruelest regime so historical bigotries and modern ones are valid alongside fictional in universe ones and belong to ensure the grimdark is there in an "old habits die hard" kind of way.

>>98277540
1996 actually, first box was 2nd edition plastic termagants, they were only $5 back then before all the price hikes and inflation. That whole army was stolen years later when I left it at a friends house and he got taken by CPS because his mom was a nutjob.

No anon it is legitimately just me every single time. I am one of the only 2 or 3 oldfags who frequents these threads and I have been telling the truth every fucking time.

I understand that some grimdark style paintjobs are more equal than others.
Which one is the most equal grimdark style for you?

Since I was a kid I always loved the idea of playing the bad guys so my friends can be the heroes they want to be.
So if context permits and it won't harm me then yeah I would like the be "larping as a nazi."
It's why I have some WGA Damned chaos guard on the way. So I can play as the most evil (I think) 40k faction so friends can be the Imperium heroes they want to be.
There's nothing wrong with it.

Also met Genestealer Cult Breeder IRL and fucked her brains out, yeah she was actuslly a real girl and not a troon.
>>
>>98277597
Guess we'll have to agree to disagree then.
I want to make my future WGA Damned army's lore that they believe in the chaos gods and are enlightening/liberating the citizens of the Imperium.
Haven't picked a chaos god yet or decided if I want them to be undivided.

As for most evil, I think it is a coin toss between "good intentioned" worshippers of chaos or evils factions that relish in being evil like the Night Lords. I think the Dark Eldar kind of do their thing more so for survival in staving off Slaanesh getting to vore their souls.

A lot of evil leaders were insane and their insanity made them believe they're actions would lead to a noble goal.
At least the Devil (I think) is sincere in his evil intentions.
Like Night Lords.

Goblin green bases and green flock of 2nd edition being SOVL. Artists and creators hated it but it was mandated by corpo suits because it photographed better. Andy Chambers and/or Jervis Johnson and/or Gav Thorpe have all commented on this even in recent videos, check the usual youtube interviewer guys like Filmdeg and Jordan Sorcery.

Up there with Star Wars?
I'm not too sure really as there are loads of internet arguments about grog info and myths about it still being spread around.
The little sisters of purification homebrew page is still held up as canon stuff to this day.
If 40k had star wars levels of documentation then there wouldn't be so much false information about the oldhammer era.
>>
>>98277597
Drukhari are the same kind of evil as Tyranids, they do what they must to survive. Chaos is the only faction that does horrible shit solely for the sake of being horrible (except for the Imperium, who also does horrible shit for the sake of being horrible lmao)

What other hobby folklore of the oldhammer era is passed about as lies?
I couldn't find the video of it but I'll believe you there.

I know that Krieg helmets were supposed to be pickelhaubes because the audiobook of the Krieg novel by Steve Lyons had a part where launches squiggs got impaled on the helmet.
So it is pretty easy to believe they were meant to have the pickelhaube spike. But I guess someone up at GW changed that.

>What other hobby folklore of the oldhammer era is passed about as lies?
I'm trying to think of some, usually its lore that got distorted more than hobby stuff.

Maybe the size of Titans, originally they were like 40-50 meters tall but some of the later art to come out in the 90s like the famous Lucius Pattern Warlord make them look literally miles tall and that was never originally the case.

Exodites and Craftworlders are proof that this is not the case. The Deldar continue to be BDSM murder freaks because they want to, because they find it pleasurable, and because they believe that's what being a "true Eldar" is about. If you offer an individual Deldar the opportunity to go live like a peasant on a maiden world and never needing to feed off suffering again, they'd probably just laugh and kill you.

I was being cheeky when I made this thread.
The reality is that people in real life at the LGS are very chill and civil and polite. Spergs are actually more rare than social media makes them seem to be.
It kind of inspires me to be better and prepare myself better and not to be the combo breaker who ends up being a sperg.
But then again I haven't been to the LGS on tournament days.

I like them more now because there is no gray morality being done over this then.
Seriously I don't like sympathetic villains or villains with tragic backgrounds that makes them sympathetic.
Just give me objective evil so I can play the bad guy factions so my buddies can play as the hero factions.

>true eldar
As in Eldar before Slaanesh's birth?
I like to imagine the Dark Eldar are "toned down" a bit from what their pre-fall ancestors were like because they lost a lot of worlds therefore lost a lot of means to do what they really want to do.

>>98277729
NTA but
I enjoyed it too.
I did particularly love the concept art of the remnant Stormtroopers. Probably one of the best things (in my opinion I hold as fact) out of Disney canon if they aren't based off EU stuff.
I want to replicate that for Imperial Guard and Chaos guard. The WGA Damned somewhat have that because their armor is mostly scraps. The real difficulty is the Imperial Guard as Anvil bits are not gonna be enough and then there is VictoriaMiniatures going for the new proportions.
I'm pretty sure the plastic Krieg are more closer to the old heroic scale proportions than the new Cadians are.
I don't know how to break through scale autism.

Has the 40k community come up with a term to differentiate the new Cadian heroic scale versus the metal Cadian era scale?
Something like "classic scale?" I don't know.

If Henry Cavil's Warhammer 40k project isn't changed into high fidelity animation then I will not like it. I love animation from stop motion to 3D to 2d. And hentai.

Warhammer 40k is just too over the top to be anything but a graphical 3D animation series.
I don't know how Star Wars pulled it off. 3D animation allows for a lot of weird things to just be rolled with because the animation lets something in the monkey brain to know that non of this is real just enjoy it.

Do you guys think GW planning a Scouring expansion for HH with mark 7 marines and new plastic castaferrum is a real thing or just wishlisting? They started a scouring book series already right?
>>
I think I'd like legion imperialis a lot if it was any era but 30k
>>
>>98277699
>Exodites and Craftworlders are proof that this is not the case.
Not really, exodites are constantly at risk of attack and Craftworlders have to send specialized troops to collect spirit stones. The dark eldar way is the most feasible way to survive in the circumstances they find themselves in
>>
>>98277759
>I like to imagine the Dark Eldar are "toned down" a bit from what their pre-fall ancestors
I think it's the opposite. In terms of grandeur, you're probably right, but their tastes have likely only grown more depraved in the 10,000 or so years they've been squatting in the webway.
>>
>>98277773
It will be a while before that. The Nostalgia baiting for classic Mk7 already has begun with GW making jury rigged power armor canon.
I wonder if the Space Wolves grey hunters and Blood Claws were a test round and I wonder if anybody noticed their potential of being jury rigged marines. I mentioned a bit of this speculation with "nihilus pattern" space marine armor being there because supply line issues.
So I probably wasted a wish for the future or it was a coincidence.

>>98277780
They probably kept it in HH mostly to keep things simple in the marine versus marine with guard sprinkled in.
>however
I believe GW is scared of 6mm scale overtaking Warhammer 40k in sales and popularity so they kept it in Horus Heresy to keep things "safe" for the mainline game.
I can't prove it.
>>
>>98277493
Why did GW not put all the options for the Characters and such in the Armageddon box? Why do i have to buy a new Warboss to get a Powerklaw on him? I fucking hate this company i swear to god.

Star wars pulled it off because of great practical effects and set design. Now it's all cgi hastily slopped out to meet deadlines.
Also, a lot of sci fi at the time was focused on making things feel "real", and lived in. Like things are futuristic for sure, but they're also rusty and dusty and kind of shitty, rather than everything looking factory fresh. A good example is the ship from Alien.

Side note, I would kill for some of the models they used. Would love to use it as terrain...
>>
>>98277790
Anon GW isn't going to come kick down your door if you just... chop off his arm and give him one with a powerklaw
>>
>>98277787
Maybe you're more right than me.
Losing the empire probably made a lot of Dark Eldar survivors more vicious as they vented their frustrations on the helpless and themselves.
Grandeur lost most likely as they lost many worlds.
I like to imagine their palaces were genuinely beautiful to look at then the pre-fall eldar mostly splattered the interiors with gore and other sexual fluids in their acts of depravity. Thus giving the palace exteriors a scarier appearance because you know what's going down behind closed doors.

>>
>>98277793
>Also, a lot of sci fi at the time was focused on making things feel "real", and lived in.
That might be what made Star Wars pulled off. Along with your practical set design and effects mentions.
I think that skill has been lost but I hope somehow the knowledge to make these sorts of things still lives even if 3D printing has rendered a lot obsolete.
I think the "what a piece of junk" line Luke said when seeing the Millennium Falcon was great worldbuilding somehow. The audience may look at it like a technological marvel, but the "reality" in Star Wars is that it is a piece of junk.

>ship from Alien
That's good too. I do love H.R. Giger's style and art pieces too.
>>
>>98277738
Ok, what models did you mean when you said they "look embarrassing like I am playing against an 8 year old"?

I thought you meant the new Exodite models, but then you said "they actual one they made for the dragon knight looks a little better" so I assumed you meant the old Epic Exodite models looked embarrassing.

But now you're saying that's not what you were talking about, so what the fuck were you talking about?

This isn't actually true. Marine sales arent nearly as over represented as you think. Marines make up a plurality of players, not even a majority. They are like 40% of the playerbase, and that's by combining like fucking 10 different subfactions together meaning each of them makes up like 4% of 40k players.

I think the data is even harder to characterize than that because you get a situation where 40% of the playerbase are "marine players" but some 60% probably have some kind of marines in their collection.

True but most of that is because marines are in EVERY starter set and half the other vs boxes so people aren't necessarily buying them by choice.

In the end with the rough numbers we have I think its realistic to say that, on average, a given marine kit will sell about twice as much as a given xenos kit. That's not all xenos, mind you, but a single xenos faction. So Blood Angels probably sell around twice as much as Orks, or, Space Wolves around twice as much as Tau, etc. That's not nothing, but it's not nearly as over exaggerated as some people pretend who will claim things like Marines sell 10x as much as all xenos combined.

Also from these rough numbers, other Imperial factions sell roughly the same as Marines when you break it down into sub factions again. So a given Imperial Guard kit might sell literally as much as a given Dark Angels kit.

>Also I don't think we will get pteradon since GW seems to be removing fliers

I mean all the starter sets are with marines. One of them was marine vs marine.
Want to buy a new guy for xenos? Whoops its trapped with some marines. Want some Blackstone characters? Random marine there too! Oh look your main army character. Yep it has marines in it too!
>>
>>98277895
Also marines have the issue that even models for other marines can be used by other marines.
Worst case scenario it need some cutting and extra bits. Most of the time a paintjob is enough.
Meanwhile unless you are playing GSC or Orks the amount of shit from other armies that overlap with a random non marine army are miniscule.

>Chaos is the only faction that does horrible shit solely for the sake of being horrible (except for the Imperium, who also does horrible shit for the sake of being horrible lmao)
The great majority of the time Chaos and Imperium are doing horrible things for an actual reason, not for the sake of being horrible itself.

For Imperium it's usually justified by:
>Scare the population to keep them in line to prevent crime and Chaos corruption and battlefield desertion which would otherwise be impossible to keep in check
>Make the best use of limited resources
>Religious veneration
> The risk of a single Chaos cultist turning a whole planet into Hell
Or
>Nobles being corrupt cunts hoarding wealth

For Chaos it's usually justified by:
>I personally enjoy this
>This will please Khorne/Slaanesh/Nurgle/Tzeentch and gain me their favour for Princehood
>I have a lobotomy machine in my brain that hurts when I'm not maiming for Khorne
>Mental gymnastics: "the Imperium is evil and by doing evil things we will defeat the Imperium, thus stopping the evil (pay no heed to the destroyed galaxy and trillions of consumed souls)"

The justification of the Imperium usually holds up a lot better than Chaos or Drukhari.
Are there times when the Imperium does unjustified horrible shit? Absolutely.

Disney and GW are different companies and Disney sees it could make loads more money than GW from China so are overly safe and self censor to what they think could cause issues for China. Also a US movie maker company vs UK mini models one. CCP has people censor foreign films I don't think they have foreign minitures censorers. Very very different mediums, different art forms, different levels of interest from the Chinese people.
I promise you if you showed a CCP offical a mongol themed space marine they wouldn't care/ think its neat because cool little models are cool even to people not interested in the hobby. People like statues

Having daemon primachs actually lead their cult legions and massive armies was a mistake. They shoud be sad, sort of pathetic beings that exist in ancient dungeons or places that was important to them in life. Shadows of their former selves and slaves to the gods, their excistence meant to mock the Emperor and not be great generals or the main leaders for each god. Fulgrim should be in some ancient huge temple on Istvaan V standing at the spot where he slew Ferrus Manus

>They shoud be sad, sort of pathetic beings
They mostly are.
Angron has almost no thoughts left, just the nails and is a missile that Khorne launches into realspace to bring slaughter to his enemies.

Mortation has been suffering from "notice me, daddy!" syndrome for 10,000 years because Typhus has always been Nurgle's favorite.

Magnus, for all his magical prowess, knows that he's on Tzeench's short leash. He's fully aware that everything he has is a pittance of what Tzeench could give him and he has to play good little lapdog to keep getting those scraps.

Fulgrim is so demented these days he can't focus on anything and could quite possibly be the most powerful of the primarchs, but he gets bored easily and will wander off from battlefields if things don't go his way. Either to sulk that he lost or to whine that it was too easy and he's bored.

Perty has tuned his turbo autism into full model trail boomer mode. But instead of trains he obsessively builds daemon engines.
>>

I get your point anon but I'm more thinking their eccentric quirks of history you have to seek out to find and not guys with any angecy or leading armies or whatever. Angron being a braindead rage monster thats teleported from battlefield to battlefield suits him for my idea. The rest should be pathetic.

The impression I got from the lore is that in the era that TWW takes place the timeline is far enough along that Cathay’s decline is rather overt while in TOW they rewound the clock so logically things shouldn’t be that bad yet.

I do believe they won't make an actual triceratops for the weapon platform
either they use a sauropod instead or something a bit more alien

I'm betting on a sauropod though, because lizardmen don't have that one and because they can give it a similar draconic head as the raptors and keep the dragon name

Exodites aren't pacifists and all we really know about them is their warrior class, ie their dragon knights means its a culture with violence at its heart. Exodites seem really really martial and aggresive turning any beast they can into war animals.
There's no real irl cultures that shunned/rejected technology living standards to be more modest and pure but was still hyper martial and warfare focused.

>>
>>98278790
alternatively, if you really like using the pegs to line up the model, you can take your knife and sharpen the pegs at the end like a pencil. this prevents the flared flat end from causing the friction and compression and will usually keep them from getting stuck, minimizing gaps as long as you dont get glue in the pegs hole. but its also 5x more work than just snipping the peg.

>>98279002
It's never going to be top tier because the mission structure of the game naturally favors armies that have more activations. You can probably get good results playing purge or take and hold with something like Tyranid monster mash or Knights or CTan Necrons where most of your score just comes from killing things and standing on points.

With other words: GW finally made enough boxes, so new players actually have a chance to buy a launch box in any random store they walk into for some months at least, and scalpers have no profits this time.
Might be financially not as great for all those stores sitting on the boxes now, but generally, this is how any new release should be: plenty of product available, so people can actually buy it.

>Why exactly?
They're a stat check army. Your opponent either built a list capable of reliably taking down whole knights every turn and you get tabled halfway through the game, or they didn't and you do the same to them. Knights ignore a lot of terrain and visibility rules and don't get weaker as they take damage (like an infantry squad would) so you only interact with part of the actual game, which isn't interesting for either player.
>>
>>98279112
only if you need the terrain. throwing in all those paints with the getting started sets ruins those as well.
>>
>>98279168
I don't see them topping any meta winrates however, so I am guessing all the sidestepping of rules doesn't amount to much in the end. Sounded pretty fun for me otherwise.

if you like to know whether you win or lose on turn 1 and still have to play things out for an hour and a half then yeah, maybe you'd find it fun.

skew lists in general aren't much fun, and knights are an extreme skew faction that should never have been added to 40k.
>>
>>98279204
I get what you are saying, and yeah I enjoy knowing ahead of time so I can play out the ones I will win and automatically surrender the ones I won't.

What does skew mean in this context? Skewed towards one style of play? Build against or lose?

It means building a list to one uniform extreme gimmick. Like recon guard lists packing in hundreds of infantry and no tanks, clogging up the whole board. Knights are all extremely high toughness and wounds. Any reasonable, balanced army will be taking what they need to kill a few tanks, but a typical knight army is all super heavy tanks.

I did the wartrakk and am working on the Warboss' now because those two are the only kits I did in sub assemblies.
What I'll probably do from here on is 5 Boyz>character>5 Boyz>character... And so on until I decide to do the dakkarig (or more likely I have the other half of the range refresh and start on those)

people bitch about the price but there is enough detail in these models that people actually think i am good at painting because i can do basically 3d paint by numbers and the detail work speaks for itself, any time i have to do actual art it is still just stick figues and a smiley face sun but friends and family treat me like some sad artist thanks to james workshop's toys

Being honest, it's surprising how few people accept that 40k models are really just 3d coloring books market towards nerds instead of kids (at least nowadays).

used in sport where mobility was not a factor and not dying was both parties priority. it just looks dumb for a marine in full power armour to hold a shield like he's a modern crowd control officer wearing clothes and maybe a stab vest.
>>
>>98279637
Let me guess, your favourite marines are the Phobos
>>
>>98279637
it was used in that sport becuase the armor did not fully protect against the force exerted, they would rarely see such an attack in an actual battle in that time, in 40k they do.
>why would you care about not dying in a battle, that's only for sport
imagine most every enemy you see hitting you with the force of a lance and speed of horse, they use the shields because they need the shields, same reason shields are always used

I don't know if it's still true but 15 years ago I knew a GW corporate insider who told me they just let the sculptors do whatever they want and worry about fitting it into the game after the fact. This was responsible for a lot of new units that had no real role in the army list.

I don’t know how its decided, but presumably its a pyrrhic victory where the orks spent a massive amount of lives and resources in order to only take over the first wall, while the imperials were chilling behind it, and were able to just run away to the next wall as soon as the orks broke the first one down.
>>
>>98279376
Agents are an army, GW sold them as an army, therefore they should be a usable army.

There is no lore reason why they can't be an army. Canonically they are the forces Inquisitors have authority and muscle to command.

There is no gameplay reason why they can't be an army. All it takes is will from GW to make them actually good.

Don't do GW's laziness shilling for them.
>>
>>98279827
The main thing about agents is the bulk of their forces were supposed to be made of sisters of battle and inquisitorial stormtroopers (scions) and those are now in a separate codex or folded into Imperial Guard.
>>
>>98279815
>not selling nearly as much as 9th and 10th launch boxes
I want this to be true so GW gets the message that we don't want these lazy primaris updates and that 10th only sold because of Terminators that were faithful to Firstborn designs.

But I don't want orkbros to get fucked by GW thinking the box is doing poorly because people don't like Orks or something.
>>
>>98279827
>All it takes is will from GW to make them actually good.
But that's never going to happen which means they're not an army, will never be an army, and both people and gw need to understand that the only way for them to not be a joke is make them a supplement.

I know people don't usually like soup (I imagine because it generalizes list building and is a nightmare to balance) but if we are allowed to have one (aside from daemons) an agents codex makes the most sense. KT is getting players into the game, so GW has alternative financial incentive to make the agents codex good. I hope that they fixed how the writing teams are handled for this edition codices (copium)

I dont know why primaris defending retards try going for the nomodels insult tactic, it doesn't even make logical sense. Obviously the people most annoyed by primaris are people who have old space marine models and are familiar with how much better the old designs were.
>>
>>98279840
Orkbros should be fine, they've had two successful codices over the past two editions, and I think the ork side of the launch box has been pretty well received. If anything I wonder if GW realizes that there is a limit to what you can charge for a launch box. Armageddon is around 50 ameribucks more than leviathan and less SM models too (don't remember the tyranid model count for comparison). My LGS still has plenty of Armageddon boxes sitting on the shelves.

Not with that attitude of "make excuses for GW and let them do whatever they want". How would you feel if your army you paid $1000s for was sitting at 30% WR and someone told you GW wasn't going to ever fix it?
>>98279851
You don't need to "represent it just fine", because they already are just fine other than the strength of their army and missing a few units.
They offer something people like - a standalone Inquisition army.
>>98279857
GK and DW yes since they fit lorewise and have tiny ranges who could do with help
SoB no, their range is too big and lorewise the Ecclesiarchy is powerful and independent and often at odds with the Inquisition.

Inqusitiors theoretically have authority over everyone except Custodes, and most people are so scared shitless of the Inquisition that they will comply
Inquisition can even pull strings or intimidate to get favours done

But large powerful military organisations are difficult (not impossible) for the Inquisition to command or intimidate, such as:
>Imperial Guard
>Space Marines
>Ecclesiarchy (Sisters)
>Mechanicus

Numerically small and/or non military organisations are a lot easier to press gang though and that's why they're part of Agents.

NTA, they're obviously not outright bad models on the level of some other primaris slop like the suppressors and the invader ATV that are getting squatted. They're decent. It's just that literally nobody asked for a brand new 9th edition kit to be redone a mere 6 years later. Most of the kits that have been replaced over the last decade were updating models that were 20-25 years old, who the fuck needs a new kit for a unit that JUST came out during COVID?
>>
>>98279977
Oh i agree and it seems unnecessary if they are replacing a 9th edition sculpt, i just assume that most of the negative replies are either people who don't collect marines (unlikely) or posters who don't even have an army (likely)

In fact at this point the 12th ed starter set enemy half basically has to be either Dark Eldar or Dark Mechanicum. Since Amragedd9n was a nostalgiabait throwback to the 2e starter set maybe they're planning 12th edition to be a throwback to he 3e starter set with DE.

Realistically they're going to split it up over two are three editions just like they did for the Eldar Aspects. Five or six kits an edition plus a few kill teams is much more reasonable than replacing 20 kits at once.

That one is actually possible but I still think it's a slim chance. Most likely it's Dark Eldar, unless we see them get a big update before that. Second most likely is the launch of Dark Mechanicum. Third most likely would be Traitor Guard or Lost and the Damned or whatever GW ends up calling them.

That's not imagination, that's blatant lore rape or ignorance of how every action of that kind would have drastic ramifications.
They are all connected to extremely powerful organisations or families deeply entrenched in the imperial hierarchy, when inquisitors get support from them it's not because they "press gang" them, it's because they request help and are granted help, usually in exchange of some other favour.

NTA but you're retarded. Naval men-at-arms are press-ganged low-life thugs to begin with, not people connected to noble houses. The ships captain might have such a pedigree, but not his thousands of retards in diving helmets with shotguns that the Inquisitor can borrow a few squads from.

Your entire post seems to give off a complete ignorance of the level of authority an Inquisitor wields. If they flash the rosette you fucking do what they say or very bad things happen to you. They aren't on the level of bargaining for favors that other organizations are.

The ONLY people to have ever said 'fuck off' to Inquisitors and gotten away with it are First Founding Space Marine Chapters. Even other Space Marine Chapters get raped to death by the Inquisition if they fuck around too much (Celestial Lions).

We'll see in like a year who the "early codexes" of 11th are because they won't pick a back-half army to also be in the starter box of 12th. So depending on if WE/TS get early rollout one might be more likely than the other.

Any gun can glow if you put enough rounds through it fast enough, which coincidentally is how the orks use them. The only way to avoid this is to have assfuckloads of active cooling when you could just... not shoot 1000 rounds in 60 seconds?
The main problem with the Dakkarig having glowing barrels is that you can hardly see the barrels themselves, the whole thing is covered in a barrel shroud that will heat up way later than the barrels themselves (this is part of the point of a barrel shroud, to put some room between the hot barrels and the terrain/hand they're resting on).

The cuntstodes in the animation postured as being in charge and giving orders, but didn't actually have the authority to command marines or enforce the order.

The chapter master gave up on his oath on the planet's defence because he chose to listen to reason instead of sticking to senseless duty.

In an ideal follow-up of the animation we would be seeing the chapter receiving flak from imperial authorities and bureaucracy for abandoning their planet, because that would come to them regardless of the word of the custodians, who have no real administrative powers. The grimdark twist would be them getting pushed to go renegade, but that's too predictable, so a suicidal crusade into the tyranid swarm would be a more fitting end.

I don't think traitor guard/lost and damned has a big enough fanbase to hack it out in a starter box either.

Thousand Sons seems the most likely candidate to me, if only to cash in on the Space Marine popularity.

Jes retired last year, for example. He sketches, he "mentors" (see: slight correction of retardation) and that's kinda it.

If you listen to interview of designers it's painfully obvious they are retarded and running on the fumes from the first 30 years of IP.
How is it obvious? Because the interviews all boil down to
>we looked at the old stuff, lots of material (covert advertisement)
>It was hard (what was? Either they don't tell or it's just "how to make it look good?")

The cheese grader-looking bit is a barrel shroud, basically just a perforated metal jacket to prevent the user from touching the hot barrel. If you want to make a glowing effect coming from the holes, it would make sense from a "realistic" gun perspective. It is not uncommon of for machine guns to be fired in combat until the barrels are visibly glowing, I'm sure Orks do it all the time with their big shootas.

When is this meme going to die? Are you all really stupid enough to believe that people who don't even play 40k, don't own any models at all, come here just to waste their time bitching about something that doesn't affect them? Or are you just a disingenuous twat looking for an excuse to disregard the opinions of people who don't agree with you?

Apart from the occasional troll raid from some other general, which are extremely easy to spot - and no (You) can't fucking spot them apparently since you accuse everyone of being that - no one is getting mad about a game they don't fucking play to begin with. No one comes in here to talk about how the new models suck when they don't buy 40k models.

The entire 3rd Tyrannic War was like one year long but it took around 20 years for all that lore to come out. The 4th Tyrannic War just fucking started.
>>
>>98280946
I believe you, but I doubt they shift the general tide of opinion much. When GW actually does good it usually gets a lot of excited responses with just one or two naysayers, when they do shit it's overwhelmingly negative ones, and it's nearly always been like this.

It absolutely can be that bad. However stonecrushers were actually fairly good. If you're going to find yourself playing 7th on a regular basis I genuinely recommend picking up 2 flying hive tyrants and finding a malanthrope somewhere. I'd also recommend a dimachaeron if you want list variation (proxy a norn assimilator), carnifexes with twin devourers also worked okay.

>They will always outconsume you
on an individual level yes, but not on a macro level. There are far fewer compfags than normlfags. A company which things everything is fine when all they have left is competative players is just circling the drain. It's a deathspiral where your tournament attendence goes up and seems to suggest growth, but in reality you're players are just becoming increasingly condensed, shops are dropping support for your product, and tournaments are becoming the only way for the competative players still hanging on to play. You can see this by comparing the pokemon tcg and yugioh. Yugioh is propped up near exclusively by compfags right now and the company is becoming increasingly more desperate to draw in new fans or old nostalgic fans because the compfags are going to finally break and leave or die of diabetus eventually and there won't be anyone left. Meanwhile pokemon appeals to collectors and casual players and sees success on both fronts.

As you said, competative players consume no matter what. They'll buy any product as soon as it's released. That means you don't need to appeal to them, you can actually work directly against their interests and wants. They'll bitch loudly about it sure, but they'll still consume product because it's necessary for competative play. Any company should treat competative players as if they don't exist and aim to please the casuals and/or collectors. Balance changes should be focused on making the game fun to play rather than fair to play, and prevent unfun strategies, rulesharking, and other such poor sportsmanship rather than forcing the community to self-police homebrew rules. Make being "that guy" as hard as possible within the game's ruleset.

Orks are secondary antagonists. Armageddon is Angron's prize, not Ghaz's.
>>
>>98281206
You joke, but the reality is that the GW points are based on the GW abilities and the GW rules. They might not have done a great job balancing it but they did A job. If there's an ambiguous rule, and you and your table read it differently than GW meant it, that could have real balance implications.
Units can't move through friendlies? Nerf for horde armies. Units can move through enemies? Buff for fast-movers. Units can move through any space regardless of physical size? Buff for large models. Maybe these are good ideas for balance, but if so it's pure coincidence. It's practically no different from adding house rules by throwing darts at a board.
This is why clear rules are needed. Even if people aren't trying to be rules lawyer WAACfags, ambiguous rules mean that they have to play that role sometimes, and they can and will accidentally fuck something up because random nerds in a basement aren't game designers just because they're playing Spacewar 39,999. And since Warhammer is complicated, it needs a lot more than just a few precisely-worded rules.
>>
>>98281461
compfags buy way more than collectors. how many points of models do you think a casual player buys per year? 250?500?1000? compfags will buy multiple armies per year to follow the meta.

What?

>>98281476
Every company with two brain cells in the management team knows that compfags aren't a playerbase, they're an emergent property. Popular games always have a competitive scene, even if it sucks for competitive play. Unpopular games never have a competitive scene, even if they're perfect for it. Every player starts as a casual, and a few of them become dedicated enough to become compfags, and nobody likes them after that happens, and that's why the health of the scene is more based on the masses of low-to-mid-investment casuals who draw in friends and strangers than it is on the opinions of five compfags who spend most of their time finding ways to Jew each other and everyone around them. We've seen this hundreds of times by now.

Unfortunately in 7th that's only half of the equation. The edition is so unbalanced that a fluff minded player making an armylist by only taking what seems cool Vs an opponent that does the exact same has a non ignorable chance of ending up in a complete curbstomp.
The only way to have decent, relatively balanced games in 7th is either being very lucky in choices or being extremely knowledgeable of what things are broken and what are not and min max the balance by deliberately avoiding the strong things in a strong army and taking the most powerful things in a bad army.
>>
>>98281476
>compfags will buy multiple armies per year to follow the meta.
A very large majority of those are from the secondary market however. I have friends that are deep in competitive AoS. You have armies that changed like ten owners in a decade.
>>
>>98281655
Tbh I don't think 7th was quite this grim excluding outliers like Craftworld Eldar, it was definitely imbalanced but the clearly OP things were kind of obvious. Yes Tyranids sucked shit and Marines could be made busted but the busted things about Marine sn were like spamming specific weapons (grav) and formations that gave you free shit or ridiculous buffs. I remember watching a battle report online of a fluffy Tyranid list (not flyrant spam) in 7th taking on Tau that was running a Stormsurge and shit and Tyranids won.

I am not saying that wasn't impossible. I am saying that unless you knew what you were doing the chances of the game exploding were too goddamm high. Even shit like the Marine player taking a Librarian and rolling very well on the psychic tables (even excluding the truly busted things like invisibility) while the Tyranid player rolled very badly could shift the game tremendously.
