in my case, i like the video games, like OG Dawn of War and total war warhammer, and mainly just haven't had a chance to get/read the books, and have seen what lore i have from random things online

@@judahsmyth5398 If you do want to read, I suggest starting with Horus Heresy. At least the first 3.

@@TearDownGenesis alright, thanks, will keep that in mind, i love the ideas of Warhammer in general

Yeah. I have a set of push-fit starter (Recruit 9th edition) that I've just played the practice/training missions with against myself (running the other side), haven't painted anything, but I'm fascinated by the lore. As much as people talk about the dystopic religio-fascistic Human empire, the lore has so much more going on, like the various lost Human worlds that haven't even been found yet (like the one Horus ordered destroyed but that were as or more advanced than the Imperium and not dystopic religio-fascitic, meaning there well could be more; the realm of Ultramar was before Big E found Bobby G, and even after, has allowed him a lot of semi-autonomy), and then you get into the other species/factions out there that are their own various brands of thing, but not all of them are dystopian or evil (the Leagues of Votaan and the base Eldari faction; the Orcs are less "evil" than they are genetically programed to get into fights, etc etc), and its built on deep lore that is pretty interesting between the mystery origins of the Emperor, the ancient war between the C'Tan/Necrons and the Old Ones/Eldari/Orcs (kind of an odd mix, that one), as well as the lost lore of Humanity from the Age of Technology. The lore itself is pretty interesting, even if they sometimes go a bit off the rails.

The hobby has grown, but I don't know. I feel like the main point of the hobby is creating Your Dudes. Playing with them is great, but building and painting the models is like the main thing. It's like, I wouldn't consider someone a gamer if all they did was watch Let's Plays or read books about the history of video games.

Exactly

Plus 10th edition seems kinda shit

Yes! ;D

Angry, no. Not even sad for him as he seems to be making the most of his opportunities right now. He will have plenty if time to okay 15th edition when he finishes his commitment to Warhammer on Amazon. 😢

I think what he meant wasn’t that he doesn’t actually play Warhammer but rather he doesn’t use the 10th edition ruleset yet. Like DnD Warhammer has many editions with variations of different rules you have to learn for that edition so he probably plays an older ruleset edition of Warhammer that he knows and is comfortable with rather then the latest ruleset

Yeah, what some people don’t realize is that life gets in the way of the hobby at times. I have four armies, over 3000 points each, and haven’t played 10th because I had my first kid near its release. My twin brother’s done 6 tournaments in 10th on the other hand, but he has the time. On top of that, people forget that 10th edition had a complete overhaul on the rules and mechanics, and when my brother and I demo’d the rules, it was like learning the game over again.

Yeah we play earlier editions too.

YES! I absolutely hate these shorts that say the same thing back to back like they just learned English. For some reason sentence structure left these people in the 6th grade.

underrated comment

And fuxk his new codex over a barrel 🤣🤣🤣

He must wake up in the middle of the night with thoughts like "Did I do this?" I mean, public eye / attention means panicky, weak corpos are going to try to wokify it. It's just how it goes.

What if it's the other way around. They tried to get Cavil on their side to sell this to us. That's why they chose to start with Custodes. If he said ok, then this whole thing would be portrayed in a different light.

I feel so bad for him. They Amazon literally spat in his face with their disregard for the lore of his favorite faction.

That must drive him nuts. Equally, the change itself doesn't matter. The way they announced it was the problem. I don't think any sane person has a problem with male or female, HEAVILY genetically modified people becoming almost god tier super soldiers with the sole purpose of defending the emperor of mankind. There's a certain point where the details of 'how' become so vague that the idea that it "couldn't" work for women is just intellectually dishonest 😂

Tell us you don't know wh40k without telling us lol. The emperor isn't simply on "life support". That's like saying Arthas is just being manipulated by Frostmourne.

They called him “functionally undead”. Which is actually even less accurate, because “undead” implies that they are dead but they can behave like they’re alive, whereas in fact he’s alive but behaving like he’s dead. If anything he would be “functionally dead”.

I used to work with this dork named Jasper Perez. Seriously his name was Jasper! He was so annoying because he would always come in late and then start complaining about the lines falling behind even they they were his lines specifically. He never took responsibility for any of the problems that he himself started. Everybody hated this guy so what we did was got our friends to call him about two to three times a month pretending to work for Rogers. We keep telling him that he needs to return a router to our office even though he doesn't even have a router from Rogers. I changed companies I work for about three years ago but we still call this guy and harass him. He was so annoying.

Thing is, does he even "roleplay a jock" outside of being handsome and not mouthbreathing over nerdy topics(unless directly asked about his hobbies)? Seems like he's pretty open about his hobbies, and his characters tend to be pretty smart or at least not stereotypical meatheads.

So very many better systems than D&D. Was always glad that when I got into RPGs in 1982, that I didn't start with D&D, and got to try many other systems before I ever touched D&D. D&D (especially 5e) is a cul-de-sac.
