>wh riptoff moorcock

GW made their bones by ripping EVERYBODY off. MM was just one of over a thousand "influences," implicit and explicit, so ...

Oh boy, it's THIS false equivalency thread again.

Here's a much scarier question. What would have happened if GW decided to base Warhammer off Terry Badkind instead of Michael Moorcock?

What would have happened in GW decided to make Warhammer as good as Michael Moorcock instead of being a bland clusterfuck?

One, that is a righteous DEATH.

Two, the writing might have been on purpose amusing as opposed to so bad it's good amusing.

Shy is pic reltated jumping?
If those people should read the badge it might help standing still.

Wait what.

I guess they did rip off the chaos thing wholesale, but I think that's where the influences end. Shame really.

Probably posting from mobile and got auto corrected.

Marienburg would have been more highlighted as an egalitarian powerhouse outpacing it's less progressive neighbors.

Also, more racial stereotype armies.

Thinking about it, I wish Warhammer was still siphoning off source material from everyone around it instead of just recycling it's own ideas with names so convoluted that they can be trademarked.

Plagiarism can be just as much a catalyst for creativity as it can be a bypass of it. I'd rather see the result of trying to turn The Witches into an army than another version of space marines.

Hamfisted social justice moralizing, "But muh subversions!", and no real military conflict. Essentially the opposite of Warhammer. It might work for an RPG, but it is total dogshit for a strategy game.

Also, it hasn't been good since the 90's and you'll never get any more novels, so fuck off.

imagine what your life would be like if your last name had 'cock' in it. your life until post-secondary school would be shit

She is already pulling the badge out midair, before landing. the snapped line and helmet indicate she jumped from the roof with the guy standing on it.

I take it you haven't read any Watch books.

In fairness, I read all of them up to Snuff and I don't know who that is off the top of my head. The vampire girl introduced in the last few books? I don't know. The silhouette initially made me think it was the gunman from Men at Arms, but I guess not?
