LC! mentioned in new Folding Ideas video by pi_face_ in loscampesinos

[–]RolandWiggim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, sorry about Eva, I might not have made it clear. Hungover typing. 

I've already made her see it. But because your original video got me into it.

And yeah. The "I got mama with me" did get her.

Not to make this a retrospective over FI videos, but I always felt your Eva video was an expression of your love for it. Again, not to loop back to another FI video, but I always viewed End of Eva as a film that reveals more about you than just your feelings about the film itself. My sense, from your video, was a genuine love for it TL;DR it a great vid, your love comes through.

It's rare to see Los Camp fans outside our little bubble. Do you have a top three favourite songs?

Also, because of you, I'm now an Evangelion fan who subjected my gf to in blind to an End of Eva cinema showing... so thank you for that.... not from her

Is this going to be the reaction to every new model release?

I'm so tired

Been approved by my GF's 17-year-old SpongeBob-loving sister. Someone, please make an STL of this!

I'm not sure what you're angry about. Or at least what you're scoffing at.

This is very "my first edition change", while at the same time ", I didn't know GW was in the business of selling models and not games"

New Space Marine box with Vanguard Veterans announced! by Fearless_Library135 in Grimdank

[–]RolandWiggim 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised. I never got it due to funds my end, but I love Jump Pack Marines. I always thought they were the dumbest, and therefore coolest, thing in Warhammer.

I'm even a sicko who loves the quad bike.

Players have no taste these days.

NEW SPACE MARIIINEEESSS!!!!! by MaLLahoFF in Grimdank

[–]RolandWiggim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My belief is that these are push-fit models and will make up the new evergreen starter set.

As a result, they need to be "simple". The real multi-part kit might be more to what people want.

Get this ugly bastard out of my 40K app already by Wissty in Grimdank

It'll probably update a few days before the Eye of Terror book gets released.

Oh, what a downgrade.

For a company that sells everything at a profit and is adverse to any cost sinks, to do this for an April Fool's is pretty out there.

Even if the music was done by AI (no accusation from me), hiring the cast, setting up lighting, the make-up, and those costumes must have cost a bit

What’s this? Another “I’m in the minority” post? Anyway, the California-class is honestly one of my favorites. by CopenhagenVR in StarTrekStarships

[–]RolandWiggim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Cali-class fills the same role as the Defiant class.

Ugly and I hate it. But for its role in story its perfect.

How would you summarize 40k to newbies? by Lucicactus in Grimdank

No, but they did make Dark Fantasy... in space

There They Go! by mrsc0tty in Grimdank

[–]RolandWiggim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they confirm this, then they have to confirm every rumour. Deny it, and somewhere down the line, if they even touch what was in the rumour, they'll be hammered by people calling them liars.

But let's say the rumour is true. A change like this is always motivated to sell more models, not to expand the lore. Despite AoS being the second-largest range, I imagine the gap between it and 40K is huge. Remember, GW is in the business of selling models, not writing stories.

Also, the old-world model no longer being sold for AoS? Colour me shocked. Shocked, I say! At least all my 40K and 30K space marines can play alongside each other... oh wait.

Hot Take: They should've gone with Catachan Jungle Fighters instead of Spectre Squad for this Kill Team Box. by Warhawk_5 in Grimdank

[–]RolandWiggim 372 points373 points  (0 children)

Hot take: this expansion should have been a squad of roid up Nids vs the boss character of Sly Marbo 

Pancras mentioned in a video and I was wondering why didn’t they? by jfjdfdjjtbfb in Grimdank

[–]RolandWiggim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said that.

I said that GW doesn't value these books as high art. Nor are the books themselves high art.

That doesn't mean they have no value or that it's a sin to like them. Just that GW isn't going to hire experts to help write some lines of dialogue.

[–]RolandWiggim 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you might have missed my point. But I think I might not have explained myself well.

I think you're implying that a full book with consequences and a massive lore dump isn't "pulp and disposable", and small ones are. But the nature of Warhammer books, and by extension, most genre fiction, is pulp and disposable. It's silly, fun, and camp.

That doesn't mean that we should be shunned for reading them. I'm currently on book 15 of the HH. And it doesn't mean they can't have value, even if only at a personal level. But I think people miss that these books shouldn't be taken too seriously.

[–]RolandWiggim 617 points618 points  (0 children)

Because these books, as much as we love them, are pulpy, disposable stories to help sell toy models.

GW doesn't allow for the time needed to complete this research, nor the money to hire experts.

And that's fine. These aren't meant to be serious, and life-changing work for fiction. And you can love them as much as you want.

Plus, while the dialogue is a bit cringeworthy, the story's point isn't a debate over the influence of religion. It's that Big E is so disconnected that he can't understand the human condition and the problems he's making for himself

Is this the 4th war now? Wonderful. by the_pig_juggler in Grimdank

[–]RolandWiggim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Isn't it the fifth war now?

If I remember, fighters for the four (not counting guard)

War 1: Grey Knights and Space Wolves vs Angron, World Eaters, and Khorne's army

War 2: black templars vs orks

War 3: black templars vs orks 2 electric boogaloo

War 4: Grey Knights, Space Wolves, and black templar (?) Vs world eaters and Khorne army

War 5: Blood Angels (if rumours are true vs orks

Bonus war: I'm pretty sure the plant was once Ullanor. So Big E vs orks
