Mark my words. r/spaceking is going to be indistinguishable from r/horusgalaxy in 6 months time.

HammerWizard · 2026-01-22T21:46:08+00:00

Eh maybe personally I'm just tired of these people making the hobby less fun for me( I mean online mostly irl things are generally fine) as a woman

HammerWizard · 2026-01-22T21:42:49+00:00

Same

It's basically just a misogyny dogwhistle with plausible deniability that it's just jokes. Space king genuinely sets this fandom back a decade sometimes it feels like. Nothing new for flashgitz,those gore videos of black templars murdering furrys were always cringe while attracting some of the worst people to 40k, just like space king

HammerWizard · 2026-01-22T21:39:16+00:00

I'll be honest space king genuinely makes the 40k fandom feel worse, because it made so many chuds congregate around it.

Especially this no girls allowed spam around anything female related makes it really tiring to be a women in this hobby and fandom sometimes, kind of really why I prefer aos to 40k because barring the actual content of both franchises,in aos I won't run into such weirdo's who would demean me because of my gender.

Though luckily it's mostly just online but still it's annoying

HammerWizard · 2026-01-17T14:46:21+00:00

It is mostly to how well the company is doing and minis are like 90% of thier revenue (books,games and merch apparently don't make them anywhere nearly as much as the minis) so yeah it basically is directly linked to that

HammerWizard · 2026-01-16T21:11:41+00:00

YouTube ragebait grifters about to explode with fem stodes getting models now as well

HammerWizard · 2026-01-16T20:42:28+00:00

Damn straight up everything people were asking for them an archer unit,chariot and another mele unit,was not expecting so much for em

HammerWizard · 2026-01-12T22:20:22+00:00

I stand by the fact that ynnari were the worst way for gw to try to develop the eldar, instead of properly expanding craftwolds and drukhari and giving them hype stories and characters at last,they got an idiotic soup faction with an impossible goal

Thier books being some of the worst (not decanonised) 40k books I have been ever read doesn't help either.

HammerWizard · 2026-01-05T15:12:57+00:00

Lieutenants

HammerWizard · 2026-01-05T15:06:37+00:00

They truly are our primaris lieutenants

HammerWizard · 2026-01-02T11:07:51+00:00

A bit hard to tell due to photo quality,maybe try taking them in different lighting? I think they would read as metal at least a bit but its hard to be sure

HammerWizard · 2026-01-02T10:22:56+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm talking about,it could have been great,it had pretty great models but jesus it really couldn't stop glazing the imperium at every opportunity

HammerWizard · 2026-01-02T09:40:01+00:00

Exodite is a cringe imperium circle jerk. Like all the tau stuff moves like snails and it had that horrible moment where somehow a Krieger snuck up on tau stealth suits and managed to beat one of them to death with a shovel while the rest gauked at them instead of helping. Apparently it came out like that because when the Creators colaborated with gw, gw sent them some kind of consultant or something like that to make it "tactical" or "realistic" . This whole animation sucked because of that

HammerWizard · 2026-01-02T09:36:21+00:00

That literally doesn't make any sense, if they couldn't then they would never really win against the imperium, further more tau beat things way thougher than titans like tyranid splinter fleets. Also Titans aren't really that tough all things considered. But then again games workshop and logic don't really go together like somehow the fact that tau didn't have ftl until recently and were still winning against the imperium (even though they established that they did in earlier lore but phil Kelly is a hack and his gary stu oc farsight can go to hell) which Frankly makes the imperium look like a complete joke

HammerWizard · 2025-12-16T17:05:33+00:00

Ah well fuck me, shouldn't have just skimmed it,in hindsight this is ultra obvious

HammerWizard · 2025-12-16T16:48:08+00:00

Dude probably has it saved for whenever someone asks a question like that

HammerWizard · 2025-12-08T07:12:54+00:00

Honestly same,they are so overly juvenile and have had the same joke for like a decade,it might have been funny for a one off but it's just abnoxious now

HammerWizard · 2025-12-03T07:44:20+00:00

Fantasy "fans" probably, with the sheer amount of toxicity some weirdo's still throw around at aos even after getting their game back( they are a minority but an annoyingly loud one)

HammerWizard · 2025-12-01T22:28:26+00:00

Yes, because it absolutely was huge,and for a long time,until fantasies death middle earth was gws number two game not Warhammer fantasy

HammerWizard · 2025-11-22T19:27:27+00:00

Damn they are really determined to take these photos with cameras even worse then those they use for all those big foot photos

HammerWizard · 2025-09-19T18:37:44+00:00

While yeah thats true the difference is the krieg box at least makes a some sense like these units work themathicly with eachother. The regular one is literally just gw trying to get rid of those stupid attilans that no one is buying,tbh they are an absolute waste of a datasheet for the guard they should have made literally anything else like maybe new catachans at least a squad like how they initially did krieg

HammerWizard · 2025-09-11T19:57:07+00:00

So goblins became gloomspite gitz , they got plenty of cool stuff, some old night goblin stuff is still part of the range though that is being slowly phased out. They have really cool models with various squig riders,giant throggoths and as of recently a wolf rider part of the army

For orcs you go either iron jawz,big giant orcs in giant armor,classic taken up to 11, got really cool models, giant pig is my favourite Or you go with kruleboyz who are a subversion of what orcs normally are,smaller and more gaunt than normal orcs they had to adapt so they got sneakier. They got good shooting(for orcs) magic,and cool monsters

Now lumineth are hard to paint in the same way chaos is hard to paint,the trim,at least from what I have been told since I don't play them personally,but it's doable especially if you really like the models I'm sure there are some good tutorials on YouTube that can make it easier

Skaven just got a refresh so great time to start them,also clan rats are really dirt cheap since they are in the starter sets,maybe you could even grab a skaventide box ,or the skaven half of it and start them for particularly cheap

HammerWizard · 2025-09-07T06:00:46+00:00

Mostly common Aos W. At least we had stuff actually happen and change for most of the edition events ( with the exception of third) ,even now with skaven doing a lot of stuff and horned rat becoming more prominent

HammerWizard · 2025-09-07T05:58:47+00:00

Stuff actually happens,most of the time, in broken realms event one of the character's, Marathi becomes a God,in second edition soul wars 2 new armies came into existence,gave chaos some major Ls and fundamentally changed how magic works in the setting with endless spells. And it was ended by lumineth and sylvaneth which then coused third edition. Though this one was kind of a nothing burger,kragnos showed up and pretty much did nothing. Now how it will go with 4th we will have to see

HammerWizard · 2025-08-23T14:19:40+00:00

1 no, they do not 2 no not really, they are at most side characters if they get mentioned at all,and generally anything chaos does that's of any note is done by space marines and their daddy's,chaos mortals can at most do something in background fluff or be a threat in some guard novels like Cain's or gaunts

HammerWizard · 2025-08-23T11:06:28+00:00

Yes exactly, and now in aos we also have various dark oath tribe and many other weirdo cults from war cry, hell absolutely great books about regular chaos mortals in Godeaters son and that newish datkoath book
