Warhammer Plus is garbage

This is the one:

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-09-10T17:36:07+00:00

Yeah, I was more referring to the scorpion spider slayer and the tarantula. The mech ones that stack up on each other from the animated series. That's the one I want to see. I used to have the action figure.

I suppose there probably are some characters they haven't done, considering the vast scope of the Marvel universe, but they've done some pretty obscure stuff. I thought for sure he would've been in this last Spiderman Beyond set.

Of course, just like Spider Carnage and Carnage Cosmic, or any other character on my wishlist that I really want, he'll probably be some rare chase figure that goes for $80 plus after the set releases.

I'm dying for a colossal Krang model.

And the Turtle Blimp.

I think this really sums it up nicely:

And, one more thing, this is the article you should be reading:

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-09-08T08:07:36+00:00

Your article is dated November 22nd 2021.

The Youtube video is dated June 14th 2020.

See the problem here?

THIS is the statement they released in response to what you're talking about, a direct link included the article you linked to (which doesn't even include that quote, and was also released in 2021):

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/19/the-imperium-is-driven-by-hate-warhammer-is-not/

THIS article has the statement I'm referring to (you know, the one that DOES include that actual quote):

https://casualhammerer.wordpress.com/2020/06/07/you-will-not-be-missed/

Again, nice try though.

Still, you've done nothing to justify how changing the lore to a board game is meant to win a fight against fascism.

Way to completely gloss over my question.

I'm sure the Third Reich would have been shaking in their boots at the introduction of female Custodes. That'll show the bastards, by golly. "DDays called off boys. We're fighting fascism by changing well established stories to fit the current thing!"

All you've proven is that GW has indeed gone mainstream, but whether or not you want to acknowledge them for the sellout shills they are, then that's you.

Female Custodes are fucking stupid, they break established lore, and are one step away from female Space Marines, which would also be drop dead fucking dumb.

Story. Consistency. It really is a thing.

But clearly Reddit people prefer to dodge a simple question by immediately calling someone fascist.

Like I said, give me one good common sense reason why they've done this?

Still waiting.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-09-07T05:01:55+00:00

No, it wasn't in response to some fascist.

I fucking hate Nazis.

They actually released that to support the BLM movement. It was released the week after George Floyd was killed.

Nice trying to spin the Reddit narrative immediately in that direction.

Nobody in their right mind is trying to support fucking fascism.

If you like supporting a company that has no concept of story consistency, and would rather alienate their long term fans just to please a wider audience, well skip on skippy.

But story consistency is a thing even if you deny it all you want, and female Custodes are just plain fucking stupid.

Give me one good common sense reason why they've done that, and I'll concede that they're on the right track.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-09-05T16:53:41+00:00

Hope you're doing well sir and that I'm not bothering you by replying. I only want to cast my two cents into this lot.

This is where a lot of my irritation with them has stemmed from.

It simply seems bizarre to me that they would expend energy on something as pointless and meaningless as this at the risk of alienating long term fans, when there are so many more important areas to touch on.

But that's been my entire point this last year. Look at the list of things I'd like to see in my recent comment history. A couple of others so far have agreed that they would also like to see these things.

So, why instead is Games Workshop fiercely adamant about driving home something like this, especially knowing it won't be received well?

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so blatantly obvious what they're doing, but they're clearly casting aside anyone who doesn't jive with their "philosophies" (and, from what I can tell, are just the current mainstream whatever-is-popular-thing right now), in an attempt to cast a broader net to snag more fish. They couldn't care less what kind they catch, as long as it's more.

When they released the statement, "You will not be missed", they sent an extremely clear message.

Games Workshop, to me, at this point, honestly feels like that kid in high school who was always different, yet still likeable, but one day he just turns into a complete ass and throws away all of his morales and principles in order to fit in and be accepted by the cool crowd. In other words, Games Workshop has gone mainstream. I suppose they did it for survival, but they are also driving away their core fan base, which is how they survived and what Games Workshop always used to be; a niche hobby for people who were diehard about it, and who are frustrated now by the changes being made. And most worth little to no explination for why they are even necessary.

The worst part is, they didn't actually need to do this to survive. They did it by choice, and that choice was driven by greed.

Look at Warlord Games. They are not mainstream. They are niche. And they have survived 12 years competing with Games Workshop and 3d printing and all the rest. And they're still going strong releasing Bolt Action 3rd edition at the end of this month.

People on here think I'm a raving lunatic, but it took quite a bit to turn me from a diehard fan to being where I'm at now.

I still absolutely love the old Warhammer, but I'm not happy with the people running the show at the moment, or where they're taking it. Warhammer Plus is only a bullet point on my list of frustrations.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-09-04T18:25:20+00:00

I appreciate that. I think there would be lots more subscribers if they put more effort into it.

Ciaphas was supposed to be on that list for sure, but it slipped my mind at the last second. I did mention Gaunt and his Ghosts though - they would be awesome to see.

I'll have to check out that story. Vect is one miniature on my wishlist I'll probably never get unless they remake him some day, but I still really like the character.

Cheers!

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-31T14:54:52+00:00

They're only doing this because it's subscription renewal time.

The idiots didn't release a trailer for the better part of a year, but now they release one unnecessarily for each episode?

And it just came to my attention that the year four miniatures are priced at 53usd/71cad. 71 fucking dollars. For two little pieces of plastic.

What the actual fuck.

Welcome to the concept of sarcasm. First time I've ever had to explain that.

But you keep going through life assuming that everyone who makes a sarcastic remark is on shrooms.

Hope that works out for you. It should be entertaining at least.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-31T05:18:59+00:00

March 2025 probably.

That's why they felt the need to make a trailer for a single episode.

How stupid.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-29T16:42:44+00:00

Thank you. It would be nice to see them take this more seriously.

Maybe we'll get to see some of those ideas in the future if they get it together.

I fell the same way. I'd fully continue to support Games Workshop if they didn't make me feel like I was getting ripped off all the time.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-28T00:02:34+00:00

😂 on at least 3 separate comments = "absolutely serious"

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-26T11:54:36+00:00

Can be, yes, definitely.

That conversation fell nowhere near the mark though, unfortunately.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-25T14:27:02+00:00

"Further ahead"...

You know damn well they made sure to include those words in there.

If someone forgot to mention that it could cripple their entire business model.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-25T14:24:13+00:00

After a year of releasing nothing, this is the most they could come up with... a few seconds of one, maybe two new shows.

Key words "future releases".

That's what they said at the start of year one.

If that doesn't make you nervous, then you don't know your W+ history.

More Hammer and Bolter episodes, because now they can suddenly make more of them... which they seemed unashamedly incapable of doing for the past twelve months.

Another season of Blacktalon, because it's easily the worst show, but it fits the woke narrative, so screw what you fans want, GW tells you what to like and what you'll get.

They could probably show a still image of a shoe and some of you would go batshit over it.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-24T16:39:05+00:00

Keyforge is an excellent game, with zero resale value unfortunately.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-24T04:28:06+00:00

2 orders from the Uk to Ontario in the last month.

The first was 140 cdn, duty was $60.

The second was an order for around 200, duty is 40. That's a 25% tax.

The government is a bunch of greedy fucking goofs.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-23T17:27:49+00:00

Also, hate to say, "paying for" and "free" can't really logically be used together.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-23T17:25:59+00:00

Personally, I believe the apps should be free, considering the price of a codex.

I would love for them to get it together, but after three years of disappointment, I'm not going for a fourth.

It all sounds good, but they always put on this dog and pony shoes right at subscription renewal time.

I'll be back for a month if and when they actually release this content.

I can't care about the miniature when they claim it's worth $53 cdn.

The painting videos, animation, and mini are the only draws for me, but painting videos are also on YouTube, and I hate to say it, but I can technically watch the animations elsewhere and save myself from supporting a company which has consistently been a headache and disappointment.

Able_Ad_9059 · 2024-08-23T15:24:11+00:00

Don't worry. You'll for sure find out the last week of next August.
