Fans protest at warhammer world

[ZeroWolf]

Given that specific um releases are few and far between, I'm curious as to how they've been forced down customer throats? They may be the box cover boys (because blue is a good beginner colour, with red a runner up if I remember) their rules also only require the base codex unlike the divergent chapters which require an additional purchase. I think most of us have tuned out what's on the box cover making it like white noise (aside from me, as I am a UM player so, I like beating myself up that my figures won't look as nice as the 'eavy metal team work ).

 

Of course, I'd have more sympathy if the complaint was an over abundance of SM releases and you were chaos/xenos/other Imperium factions.

Regarding the "if you paint it blue, any Space Marine can be an Ultramarine" comment, have anyone seen any photoshops of the BA, BT, DA, or SW unique units in blue with ultras? Or any of their characters?

So we're going for a thinly veiled "I don't want primaris give me mk7 back" or "roll the clock back to 5th-7th ed", because realistically thats the only thing different here. You can still go use those dozen chapters now in one guise or another, the only thing you'd need to really hammer them home is a range of special characters and rules, which would sort of be like forcing not-blue-marines down customers throats, no?

Yes, the objectively correct takes.

 

Back on topic, it took me an embarrassingly long time to clock the "Mark, of Calth News" reference.

Sir my posts in the black library section 2 weeks ago has nothing to do with you being childish and throwing a temper tantrum in this thread. But if it makes you feel better go a head, there's older posts for you to hit disagree with as well

Thanks for calling them out. They’ve done it to me plenty of times as well and many others. 
 

Back on topic: I am am genuinely excited by what this could be teasing. There are some many red herrings I can’t predict any one thing. And it is nice to see GW not taking itself too seriously following a successful few years. 
 

2026 will be an interesting year.

Genuinely thought you meant depressed at first read, and was sat there thinking "yeah, that tracks."

I adapted a sanguinary priest into a regular apothecary, though it barely took any work as i only shaved the blood drop off the pistol, swapped shoulderpads to blanks, and assembled without chainsword.

 

Hell, I didn't even paint it blue except for the loincloth. The whole lad is completely white with black and blue transfers.

That's some nice work there, looking at it you'd think it was generic to start with

Tbf, it doesn’t take much work to make blood claws and grey hunters generic either

No, no one likes UM.

Then how are you going to explain their characters selling or being played even during times they don't have strong rules?

I’m speaking from personal experience. But there’s plenty of images online of them used for white scar and blood angel models anyway :P

Black Templar initiates also work wellas a base for sternguard if you want to us up all the bits in the multipart sternguard kit and even out the ETB sternguard and their mixed loadout into two non-mixed squads (I opted for a 5-man combi-weapon + pyre cannon squad and a 10-man rifle + heavy bolter squad)

I use them as a basis for veteran sergeants for my blood angels!

We all have our things that make us unreasonably angry. For some people, it is Ultramarines. For me, it is any time anyone mentions Suppressors. Worst models in the history of miniatures, maybe ever. I hope this update leads to GW announcing that Suppressors have been retconned out of existence.

Unfortunately, those within GW who would have been responsible for suppressing the Suppressors have been suppressed.

Help, I'm being suppressed.

I actually like that no one knows immediately what all these videos mean.  I enjoy these forums as much as the next person, but sometimes the "oh it's this" or confirmation before the actual reveal sometimes is like knowing what's inside your Christmas presents before you open them.  And since it's the season, maybe that's why the videos are deliberately vague?

 

I did email the address at the end of the video just to say that I've been a fan of the video and got what appears to be a form reply.  Curious to see if Blindhamster got the exact same reply.

Well, there was a time during 3rd edition when any Chapter could take the Emperor's Champion.

Personally, I never understood the hate leveled at the Ultramarines, or any (sub)faction, for that matter. I understand not liking things, but there's a vast difference between not liking something and actual hatred/loathing for something. It's a game. We play it for fun and relaxation. Getting so emotionally wrapped up in it that non-fun emotions are engendered seems counterintuitive.

 

I see these videos as a bit of marketing fun. There's something coming, for sure, but it's all done with a nod and a wink and a bit of self-awareness.

I posted my reply earlier and it matches the same I’ve seen all over Reddit.

 

The “conclusion” of these videos doesn’t make sense when they went to the effort to create an email address and an automated reply. 
 

I wonder if it’ll be a weekend thing, and we will see things “escalate” each weekend leading up to Christmas.

I'm lowkey expecting this as things were wrapped up too neatly. Also wouldn't be surprised if that was it with the whole intention to be us talking.

 

Also loving the monty python and Spaceballs jokes, keep'em coming!

It's mildly amusing the Nu-Mahreens which don't have flanged knees have instead awful ankles.

 

Big bulky shoulders, heavy armoured upper torso... scrawny ankles.

 

I suppose as a boxer it's a case of "those in glass houses..."

Lol can we tone down the spite? 

 

"Nu Mahreens" "Scrawny ankles" "those in glass houses" Give me a break!

 

I think the Phobos Marines look great, and you can completely ignore them and run a full army without a single unit in this armour.

Considering people still bicker about dem munies and all, this meme lives up to itself still

I don´t mind UM personally, but i am getting tad... burned out from generic UM style

[Vassakov]

I think it might be time for the mods to deal with this one.

 

Some people probably need to take a break from the internet for a little bit and rediscover a sense of humour.
