I play 40k (DA ORKZ IS PROPPA GITZ) but it's a rare day where there isn't at least one "just kidding, unless" nazi around in the general community around me.

    Love me some Orkz! But yeah, that’s the problem I ran into. I found that the boardgaming community was less reactionary so I ended up naturally moving away from 40k. It’s a shame, I liked the whole ‘paint then show off by playing’ loop.

    As fun as minis could be, if you wanted a litmus test to really find the fash without actually inquiring about the fash, wait and see how the players react to someone using proxy tokens, unpainted minis, or otherwise substitutes to play that don't involve performative spending. frothingfash

    Ha, yeah, I love the look of a fully-painted army, but it’s absolutely not necessary to enjoy the game. It’s silly that you would need to spend a bunch of money and hours of time just to try out a new or reconfigured unit. I can understand it for tournament play, but if someone is making a deal out of it in a casual setting then you’re dealing with an asshole.
