This was published in 2002?!?! It sounds like it was written in the fucking 70s, holy shit.

Played some pirated Space Marine 2, I hate that there are 8 kinds of boltgun, all of which are useless. Tyranids are a boring enemy that completely lack any personality. The selection of what is and isn't a major boss is very strange. Zoanthropes? Normal enemy. Neurothropes, aka a very slightly better Zoanthrope? Boss with a giant health bar. The health and armor systems also just feel worse than SM1; I'm basically always at like 10% HP and have to hide around corners to recharge my armor because you can't easily get executions on swarms of gaunts.

A large number of warhammer "fans" (it would not be unreasonable to guess that this group is even a slight majority) do not engage with the hobby in any physical way, and instead just do things like watch lore videos, play the video games, and repeat memes. I would argue that most of the chuds who get really pissed off about the idea of female space marines or start larping as imperials fall into this group. This group has become larger over time as GW's prices continuously rise (driving people away from the physical game), the setting became more mainstream (largely through video games and fanworks), and especially when it became possible to play the tabletop game entirely on a computer in the "game" Tabletop Simulator (~$10 for a copy on Steam to play as any faction you want vs ~$500-1000 and dozens of hours to play one army).

There are also a decent number of people who do play the physical tabletop game that purchase and build models, but do not paint them. Historically, tournaments enforced a rule that models must have at least 3 colors on them, and in the newest edition of 40k there are explicitly 10 bonus points that each player receives at the end of the game if their army is painted to a similar standard. I can say that in my friend group, there is one person who painted a few models, decided he didn't like painting, and now just has the rest as plain gray plastic.

Crossbow, I support levelling of the playing field between a normal person and a rich sicko who has been able to spend their entire life training and can afford armor through their exploitation of the peasants. Also, I do not respect Pope Innocent II and his banning of crossbows was a skill issue.

Do we think Vance is stupid enough to not understand that NATO primarily benefits the US? If "Europe" is cut off from the US, they're going to make deals with China and (to a lesser extent) Russia. Trump obviously doesn't understand shit, but Vance is the puppet of Peter Thiel, who you'd think would know better.

By painting even a single model you are already infinitely better than the average warhammer fan, especially when that model looks as good as your forgefiend.

Thanks, it's sooo much better than the monopose warlocks GW sells (and cheaper to boot!). There's also a secret third eel hiding behind her hand. You should post your elves to /c/hobby once they're done! Always love to see people's work.

"NOOOOO Eldar are lame! If they're so good, why don't they like the space fascists?!?!"

"Hehe this warlock has some funny space eel friends"

Aw dang, is it good? Am I going to have to watch a league of legends tv show?

If you're a boomer like myself, you can also just open the .xml links in a browser and then copy-paste the filenames into another browser window to download them onto your computer directly.

Nah, it's a warhammer dipshit, and everyone knows that warhammer "fans" never actually play the game because they're too busy bitching about women custodes.

When Bill Kristol is urging you to turn left you must have done something horribly wrong.
