GW doing good things is nice in theory, but it remains to be seen if they can actually pull off a specialist games revival without shitting all over everything in the process. New Blood Bowl won't means shit if they ruin everytihng that was good about it in the process, which they have a gift for doing. Given their record for the past decade they don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore.

I simply don't trust GW.

This isn't oldskool GW, it isn't the old gang who made those classic games; pretty much every good, enthusiastic designer has moved the fuck on to create many other games for other companies.

This is the GW that made DreadFleet. This is the GW that made Age of Sigmar.

And it's not as if those old games are even really dead, they still have more active player bases than many new and actively supported games, because they already have a fan-base plus there's a fuckton of models floating about for them; either old models on ebay, proxies or recasts. And the rule books were updated for years so most of them are in a pretty good state mechanically (not like the last print version of Necromunda where they forgot a proofreader).

This ain't worth a bucket of piss as something to be hyped about.

>About 6 months ago I learned there had been a major reshuffling of the inner circle of GW. The GW Alan was replaced with the FW Alan in recognition of the ever-increasing sales on his part. GW Alan had been an aggressive proponent of no points in AOS, throwing out the system devised by Jervis. He also prevented the different codex writers from collaborating in order to protect his own ass. Alan Bligh on the other hand, if you've read the 30K books, was a more level-headed and well competent person.

Infinity stuff looks good, but here are my complaints:

- All the studio paintjobs have that same blending/weird tacky colors + olive drab/NMM style. Not really a fault, but their studio style is not to my taste.
- Mono-pose metal
- Expensive price per model
- Game requires a lot of terrain
- Is not as popular as X-Wing/40k/Warma
- Too hard to pick a faction (not really a con either)
- The cheesecake, while I don't dislike, is getting tiresome. And it's all the same huge asses jutting out in bodysuits. Give me some bikinis and titties or something. I am not an assman nor do I have a bodysuit/latex fetish so it doesn't do it for me.
- Stupid little robot animal mascots. Do more mecha/robot/mini-tank minions and mascots.

>>43619707
>Mono pose
Still each unit have different models with dofferent poses, unlike warhammer and warmahordes.
>price per model
Still cheaper to play than 1k 40k.
>terrain
Well yes, it,s more interesting than jus move you models forward and throw doces untill you or opponent lose all models.
>>
>>43619766
Yea but he'd counter by comparing a TAG which is in the highest price range for Infinity to any single model over $60 for 40k.
Which is lots of stuff.
>>
>>43619735
That's for special characters and HQ's. Yeah they're expensive but they generally look bad ass and great on the table to boot. You only ever field 1-2 anyways.

You can get 10 Marines for sub 40 bucks. That's less than 4 bucks a model.

>The deldar models were posted because some fucker claimed that all GW models look "bulky and clumsy".
DE models looks good only among space marines.

>All the studio paintjobs have that same blending/weird tacky colors + olive drab/NMM style. Not really a fault, but their studio style is not to my taste.

Probably because CB only has like one painter.

The thing is you can play Infinity's rules and use cheaper miniatures or just something that's not even a miniature to save money.

You buy whatever miniatures you like and can afford, who cares which one's "cheaper" that's fucking stupid if you're not buying miniatures you want. Just like people who buy models they don't like to cheese the newest flavor of 40k.

Infinity also takes way more to setup than other skirmishes due to all the terrain you need. And if you want the board to look good? That's even more work since then you gotta have ACTUAL terrain that's painted too, and not just paper walls.
>>
>>43619810

If money is no object, why wouldn't you complain about mono-pose? What does price even have to do with anything?

Let's say I have $1,000 every month that I'm too stupid to put into stocks, so I waste it on toys. Why do I care if something is $36 if it's what I want, over something that's $12 that I don't want?
>>
>>43619851
That's not it.

40k has a very low model count version too called Kill Team. And it's like "We could play kill team with 5-10 models...or we could play a full game with 6 squads and multiple vehicles..."

It's different game play wise. Fielding a squad versus fielding an army are completely different games. Which is why I shake my head every time 40k v. Infinity is brought up because at the core they are insanely different games. It's not about Infinity being bad, it's just Infinity can't offer what 40K offers and kill team will never match Infinity at their game (low model count)
>>
>>43619883
>That's even more work since then you gotta have ACTUAL terrain that's painted too, and not just paper walls.
Nah, it's still cheaper than realmgate or bastion.
>>
>>43619883
A big problem with Warhammer40k is people don't use enough terrain. Warhammer40k SHOULD have as much Terrain as Infinity, but for some reason people just don't get it. I play with almost as much Terrain.

My group plays with actual painted ruins and it's hard not to be able to move 6" and not find cover from *something*. It actually feels wrong when something doesn't get a cover save it happens so rarely.
>>
>>43619894
I never told you that you should be playing Infinity.
If you don't want to buy it, don't.
I just find it funny that you'll complain that one brand has expensive metal monoposes, but your brand which has more expensive plastic monoposes is OK - because it's your preferred brand.

No, not everything is about miniatures.

Have you tried getting people to play an older version of a game when a new one is available? It's practically impossible as people are conditioned to automatically think newer = better. Very few people have any idea of what makes a game system good or bad, and are more likely to just stop playing than have to re-learn an old version of something.

Im talking about specialist or box games. You are talking about 40k and AoS. They are two very different things.

The latest version of Space Hulk is the best one yet? Why should I assume BFG and Necromunda are going to be shit?

The glass is half full anon.
>>
>>43627714
Not that anon but in these circumstances, they're effectively the same for pointing out GW's recent track record since the old staff moved on.

Which overall is not good.

The glass contains liquid equal to 50% of it's volume.

It's not, but I guess people can't be fucked to do research of their own and learn that the GW Design Studio and FW Design Studio are not the same thing.

And before anyone starts any bullshit about them both likely being subservient to higher ups, said higher ups haven't told FW how to do their job yet and there is no indication they're going to start doing so anytime soon.

>>43627948

AoS has some failings, but it also has some nice stuff as well. You have to look at it on its own merits and realize it's not meant to be similar mechanics wise to Fantasy in any way, shape, or form.

Yeah, I love rules for summon spells.

>>43628082

FW was always a fucking division of GW, but that doesn't make it the same thing as the GW/Citadel Design Studio.

GW proper is composed of the GW/Citadel Design Studio, the FW Design Studio, and BL. All of which are mostly autonomous by all accounts.
>>

Look, simply reprinting the rules and making some of the miniatures available again would be enough for me to be excited.

I know they can print good tokens/cards/board pieces
I know the plastic casts are rock solid

The rules.. don't really matter. Everyone uses the (already proven) old/fan-edited shit to begin with.

Warhammer has been Magespam since 5e.
End Times: Nagash did nothing except fix Tomb Kings, the single most underpowered faction in the game, and reduce the need for fuckhuge Core necause money by being able to invest more in lawnmower characters.
>>
>>43628416

Is it really too hard to understand that is someone is playing a game set in the 40k, Fantasy, or BB universe that they may want models which share the aesthetics of those universes? Models do exist which try to capture said aesthetics, but depending on your personal preference they may not be up to par.
>>
>>43628475
This.
Although the best Undead lore came after the split, crunchwise they need to be one faction too.

GW has stopped doing new stuff in finecast for a while now. If we get minis they'll be new plastic kits or FWs proper resin.

i've been out of the loop with GW stuff for a wee while now, so this is my first time hearing of this and I'm genuinely having trouble comprehending what the fuck I'm reading in that sentence. It's just... how? How on any level does prevent collaborative efforts within the company help anyone?
>>
>>43628986
I am also curious. Last genuine GW news I heard was them telling investors only a small number of customers play games and prepainted minis and vidya are for toy companies rather than model companies.
>>
>>43629034

>>
>>43629113
Yeah, the guy who reported it is an economist that attended an investor's meeting and said everything short of calling them retarded monkeys.
>>
>>43628978

Because they were just repacks. GW hasn't produced anything new in Finecast for anything outside of LotR/Hobbit since the 6th Edition Eldar release.

>>43629034

Pretty sure that was an off the cuff comment.

>>43629159

I like how all those neckbeards swarmed said article when the investor who wrote it probably couldn't give two fucks. Also if he really though that low of them I'd imagine he'd have pulled what little money he had invested out.
>>
>>43629417
He didn't invest anything with them. He went to a meeting designed to bring people to invest in it and was shocked by how badly they make decisions and how they bluntly admit they don't do market research. Which is completely ludicrous for any consumer product company.

Did you even read the article?
>>
>>43628978
Those weren't new. They're repackages of finecast of sculpts done in metal originally. GW hasn't done anything new in fincast since the Farsight enclave shoulderpads with the 6e tau codex.
>>
>>43628889
>If we get minis they'll be new plastic kits or FWs proper resin.
Or they just start selling old models in finecast.

I quit GW at the beginning of 2014. Various reasons have kept me away.

>Thinning codices with increased prices, actually removing content rather than adding it
>Price hikes
>Time to built and paint and play
>Space to hold the figures
>Rules now being restricted to bundles
>Multiple shit CSM codices
>Copyright nazis
>Age of Sigmar

But this boxed set was ALMOST enough to bring me back in. A few times now I put 2 boxes of Calth into my basket before closing the window down. Amazing offer...

...but then I'd be using them for a shitty codex (Night Lords), I'd then be buying the helmets and shoulders from forge world (too expensive), painting, glueing (too much time), and having to expand the armies. It's just not worth it. Good job though GW on pushing the boundary with more specialist games. You might win me back again.

Worst case scenario, there'll be some excellent plastics + terrain to nick and use with old ORB or CE or something.

Like I really don't trust GW with rules for shit as the above anons have said, but some nice plastic Necro or Mordheim would make me hella happy.

Let me compare GW to any other Model company.

Oh look, bottom line is all of them are fucking con artists who have faults, GW is just the biggest.

I know the Anti-GWers find it hard, but people don't need to buy EVERYTHING from GW, we're not FORCED to.

It's just when I want to make an army of fantasy dwarves, the only people who offer a decent range of good models is GW. I use them for DnD, WHFB and just a hobby to paint.

Why are people so fucking angry at GW anyway?

Minis were nice. Flavor was alright. Rules were way too much on the random side. And I say that as a Mordheim player. Unlucky draws from the damage deck could mean the ship is out of action or crippled beyond all hope in a single round.
