depthcharge12 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's like my favorite and home team, the cubs, became the Yankees/Red Sox overnight. They suddenly bought all the best players and were unstoppable. If you had any good players on your team, they just bought me out and said sorry, we don't like the fact that you can play fairly against us. I don't have any problems with true Red Sox or Yankee fans that have been there from the start or live there, but I absolutely cannot stand fair weather fans. I never want to be seen as one either. Depthcharge, I'm going to play you some day, but my army will get an extra FOC slot for the Designated Hitter. ;) @awfulawful Will do brother. But...for a second there I read that as I get an extra FOC for a Designated HITLER. lol o.O Maybe in flames of war for the German side you can do that hahaha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287288-going-forgeworld-sell-me-the-horus-heresy/page/6/#findComment-3606548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Just an excuse some feel they have Throw a jibe at 40k ,Some of us still like the back ground and since some one wrote some screwy rules they think its going to die. The hobby is bigger than us and let others enjoy it. So I will get off my soap box and finish writig my heresy list and put the final details on my Hammers of Dorn Sternguard mock up. Yeah it's not truly dead, but some of us are taking a "break" due either to players at our local GW, wonky rules, wonk-ier new retcon'd background, or insert problem here. And while I'd like to start up my flesh tearer army again, 6th nerfed them into the ground. I'd like to transition my tau from 5th to 6th, but people will think I'm a WAAC player. I want to start an Eldar army but they have the same issue as tau. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'll let sleeping dogs lie and just weather the storm till things pan out or we just get used to it. I wish my hobby center came back, even though the only people we really got were newbies or all out guys. Oh well. I'll just stay here for now and enjoy 30k and work on my painting, modeling, and lore skills for now and have a hell of a time doing it Spectemur Agendo!!! For the Lion and Caliban! I hope you take it as a "good natured poking fun between friends," instead of an out and out mocking. I think many folks are just having trouble adjusting still. I found the exact same thing in Fantasy happening when the new books for 8th edition rolled around. People that had been playing Ogre Kingdoms or Warriors of Chaos for years were upset that they were getting mocked for playing the "bandwagon" race at the time, since they were the most powerful army books. Now they've really mellowed out and the army books have gradually shifted away from one or two specific lists per book. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with 40k. I just consider it like rooting for a favorite sports team. You loudly proclaim all your own awesome bits, while downplaying the flaws and giving the other guys a hard time for theirs. Or maybe more like a favorite sport in this case. It's just that my team will flay your face off and eat it if you fumble Thanks flint It's like my favorite and home team, the cubs, became the Yankees/Red Sox overnight.

I don't have any problems with true Red Sox or Yankee fans that have been there from the start or live there, but I absolutely cannot stand fair weather fans. I never want to be seen as one either. Back before 6th Tau, I actually won more than I lost (only lost twice, both against IG, I won something like a dozen games) and it was funny because this 15 year old kid I played against said, "hah! You play Tau? It's ok buddy, but they'll never win." Which I promptly rotfl stomped his Nid army, even though he would cheat, I still beat him at the end. Now it's waiting until a new gaming store opens up near me and staying away from the power units. I actually liked the challenge of playing with an underdog army, because it would show that I'm a better tactician (and a favored son of the dice gods). But hey someday I'll take you up on that face flaying, because my Dark Angels will slay your fools with nothing but contempt. Night Lord players have no honor "Nath sihll shah, vor'vorran kalshiel" Hah, see I play the safe way. In fantasy, I'm all about the Beastmen. They'll never get an update, so I'll never have to worry about *not* being the underdog ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287288-going-forgeworld-sell-me-the-horus-heresy/page/6/#findComment-3606550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adra'Melek Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Beastmen are what got me back into Warhammer after more than a decade, with the new codex. Black skinned, red haired Beastmen. Then I started a Tau stealth army in 5th, all on back burner for the Legion. Slowly done over time. Mainly so it all gets painted and also because of the cost.

ThatOneMarshal Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This thread has pretty much made me want to do a legion army.

Knight of the Raven Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Before anyone gets a mortgage on their house because they believe they have no choice but to field Deimos pattern vehicles to be Horus Heresy; remember, this is one pattern among others. You can perfectly use the regular rhino, Forge World even made doors and front plates for them. And if you're only interested in the rules or like the plastic power armor patterns better than Forge World's, you can use them too. It'll even be cheaper, less warped, and need less liquid greenstuff.

Hyaenidae Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I personally absorb some of the blow on my wallet from FW by purchasing random piles of stuff from ebay on the cheap, scrub it clean with some Simple Green, and use what I can, trading or selling what I don't for more cash. This dude was almost all salvage, minus the hand, which used to be a FW Chainsword hand.
