ZeroWolf Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Personally, I absolutely love it when GW do skits, even if quality ones are few and far between. I enjoyed their Horus Hear'say stunt earlier this year for instance.

Subtleknife Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 (edited) Hopefully it means there are more ultramarines I love the skit, and the salt on some social media channels is hilarious.

Indy Techwisp Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 The salt is justified. Ultramarines already got an absolute ton of stuff. They do not need even more.

crimsondave Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 I guess I just don't get the Utramarines fascination by GW. There's about 5x Blood Angels or Space Wolves collectors to every 1 Utramarines one anywhere I've ever been in the US and you see what the BA's got. BAs, SWs, DAs, BTs, and even GKs seem more popular. Maybe it's different other places. They look really good, though so no hate from me.

Never BT, DA, SW or BAs in such number who get as much, and in some cases more. Seems likes double standards to me most of the time, driven more by memes (from a time quite a few weren't even in the hobby for).

ThePenitentOne Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 It's funny enough, but the truth is I feel the need to protest for FEWER Ultramarines, and less emphasis on Space Marines in general. I feel like I'm being trolled. My favourite parts of the hobby are continually marginalized, and I feel like they're at risk of disappearing altogether. If 11th doesn't finally solve the Drukhari problem, I'm probably faced with another retreat from the hobby. The treatment of GSC and Sisters from 2nd-5th is what made me drop out for 6th and 7th, and finally correcting those mistakes is what brought me back for 8th and managed to keep me for 9th and 10th. And don't get me wrong, 10th's Drukhari DEX isn't bad- it's the treatment of the RANGE that's driving me mad. So yes, the video is "funny," but it also feels like tone-deaf trolling and mockery of those who DO have genuine, legitimate fears that everything they care about truly IS being ignored, and that in turn feels like an indicator that a) ignoring us is intentional and b) it will continue or even accelerate.

It's because the "Ultramarines" releases are treated as Generic LSM released by GW, so if you're a SM player who doesn't run a divergent chapter you're sod out of luck because your release is an Ultramarines specific character.

When you see BTs, DAs, SWs, and BAs players everywhere you kind of get it. I see more Eldar, Tyranids, Orks, Tau, CSMs, ect than I do Ultras. Like I said above, maybe it's different where I've been and they're more popular other places around the globe. skylerboodie and Detjan 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387177-fans-protest-at-warhammer-world/#findComment-6144272 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Shepherd Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 (edited) Anecdotal but I see a lot of kids playing with their own Ultramarines when Im in a GW/FLGS at the weekend Could also be some tri level chess from GW, the more they release marines/ultras, the more the xenos players want some love, so when they get any GW attention they buy even more :) Edited November 27 by Dark Shepherd Marshal Mittens 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387177-fans-protest-at-warhammer-world/#findComment-6144276 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 (edited) Meh, as an Ultramarines fan, every time I see new models for the faction since 8th edition I get sad because it's just Primaris and that twists the knife ever deeper.

irlLordy Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 It would be a bit late in the cycle for a specific UM codex supplement, but could be laying the groundwork for a refreshed Guilliman model reveal at Christmas?
