Have you ever brought what you thought it was a videogame about space warriors shooting aliens and ended up getting a 6 hours long ad for an overpriced british miniature wargame instead?
no but I have watched Gundam knowing it was nothing more than a toy ad.
>>749040709Is larper just another word that lost its real meaning?
>>749041707>that lost its real meaning?Only if you're a larper
>>749040709I paid for it and got black ultramarines. That's all I have to say about that.
>>749041707Yeah>>749040709Stop posting your garbage twitter takes here, moron.
>>749042689i mean, he's rite though, they want to hook you to plastic crack
>>749040709He's absolutly right though. Lore is writen around models and video games are irrelevant to GW's bottom line. They are near monoploy on toy soliders. Male hobby older than electricity, if you want to move figurines around you come to tham becaus they're in every physcial store and not some obscure STL site or patreon reward
>>749042870I'm pretty sure by now GW sees Warhammer as a multimedia franchise, not just a tabletop game with some extra stuff on the side.
>>749041962Zesty
>get Warhammer 40k games for $3 on steam sales>can get like 10 games for $25>able to immerse yourself better in the universe than playing with miniatures because you get vibrant 3D graphics
>>749043174Bruh they're cheap because they're ads for the real miniature game, you just outed yourself as a normalfag larper tourist, don't call yourself a warhammer fan unless you pay 60 dollars for a sternguard squad
>>749040709I don't really care for the miniatures and only the the things I like are canon
>>749043021It has to say this to maximize sherholder equity. Same reason Disney pretands to be a tech firm
>>749040709>If you're not a retarded slop goblin who gleefully slurps up whatever flies out of GW's ass then you're a larper!There is no bigger tourist indicator for 40K then think primaris slop is anything other then ugly, boring, and retarded
>>749040709No I won't buy your plastic crapI will play video games and whatever I consider canon is what is canon.I do not care for GW and will never care for GW.Go back to your shitty tabletop faggot hole called /tg/ you plastic crack addicted faggot.
>>749043520>muh real miniature gameNobody wants to sit around rolling dice for 4 hours FAGGOT.
>>749044125Actually finding an excuse to sit around with your friends for 4 hours is a compealty normal behaviour.
>>749044527The games are high fidelity. The artwork immerses you.
>>749044664Shooter games aren't a good excuse to meet irl and drink beer Anon. I know this is a video game board, but you're missing a whole layer of social interaction that motivates the physcial media
>>749044851>you're missing a whole layer of social interaction that motivates the physcial media
>>749044125yeah way better doomscrolling ai slop shorts about the grimdark version of capeshit right?"""fan""".
>>749043021not really, their mini sales still make up more than 90% of their overall revenue.
And just like before people will stop playing it if the lore and by extension the models starts sucking. If all they have is the game then the competition is better and has been for somewhere between 3-7 editions.
>>749045097>makes up scenarios
>40kI have never seen such a lopsided ratio of gatekeeping to actual IP quality/discussion as this shit. You have faggots at the door asserting that you need to drop four digits of both hours and dollarydoos into a bum-ass board game that everyone agrees has fucking sucked in all eleven editions it's been presented as to have an opinion, only for online discussion to always just be a slapfight of>"No this codex says the Clit Clippers chapter led by Scrimblus Maximus beat the Shitting Dick Nipple Legion at Ligma V! They're totally a valid thing!">"No but in this BL novel from the 2010s they get wiped out to a man at Fagville by the Slutterators! Stop larping!">"But some Youtuber said the Clit Clippers are the coolest and besterest!"Fucking Bronies were more respectable than you freaks and I'm tired of pretending anything else is the case. Go to hell and take your Bri'ish artificial gigafranchise with you.
>>749045917let people enjoy things
>>749045917>hates youtube watcher opinions>gets mad at people trying to gatekeep them by saying reading a book isn't enough to be into warhammer
>>749045917>t. gatekept
>>749045917>sucked in all eleven editions2nd edition rocks bro, maybe a bit too spammy with terminators but goddamn playing orks while half drunk is a funny as fuck.Aside from that yeah, you're filtered af it's a tabletop company first and foremost, the other shit it's for people who are already into the hobby mostly and ads for the rest, sry bro i don't make the rules.
>>749045917That's the 40kiddies experience in a nutshell, yeah. Better to just enjoy the cool armies smashing together and let the manlets argue about Buttsore the Annihilated's Crusade. Pic very much related.
>>749040709It goes>Overpriced British plastic>Bezos money laundering TV shows>Books written by autistic black library writers>VidyaAnd that's how it'll always be. The eternal Anglo shall decide your canon based on which model he wants to sell. Your glup shitto's don't matter unless they can sell models.
Painted up some minis during the past months and been playing tenth ed with my brother but I somehow am not really feeling the gaming side of things. It's kind of a slog with all the re-rolls and rules you have to remember for every unit. What edition is the most fast-paced one and has the least amount of shit to remember while you're playing?
>>749040709>Oh you don't fund your domme orkz army? you must be a larper who paints black templars (non-canon fanfic boomer army), fuck out of my hobby.
>>749049745this bitch is hideous holy hellis this a 10/10 in bongland?
>>749040709Yes, that's why I enjoy the lore casually, refuse to give GW money, and consider anyone who does spend money on their products a subhuman mental castrate of the kind that marketing departments and snake oil salesmen dream of having as sucker customers. Having to field an army effectively by depending on MULTIPLE fucking codices spread around so they can make more money off it is proof that anyone who calls themselves a "fan" of this entire brand in a serious fashion is also the bottom of the barrel of Humanity, and the lowest point on the food chain.
Liking modern 40k is like liking modern Simpsons.
>>749049929Yeah that's considered above average in Bongistan
>>749040709Don't care, I'm not autistic enough to play the tabletop so I'll stick to shooting xeno and demon scum
>>749049929I'd tap that if it means that i can get some minis from her cucks
The wargame isn't about the miniatures, it's about the rules and lore
