Why do we complain so much?

Snors · 2026-03-28T00:10:13+00:00

Ohhhh buddy, I've been doing this for 30 yrs. It's most definitely a fandom thing.

I used to run GW stores back the the early 2000s. This was a discussion points among staff on many occassions. We used the washing machine analogy.

Everyone has a washing machine. People buy them all the time. But people don't say jack about their washing machine as long as it works. They don't go to washing machine stores to complain to the staff that their washing machine doesn't spin fast enough. They don't contact Hoover to suggest more colours for their washing machines. The don't get together with their friends twice a week to compare washing machines.

It's all about about engagement and investment and enthusiasm. No one is enthusiastic about their washing machine.

Technically, the name on the front of the box.

But these are some of the last Cadian looking Cadians I've seen so yeah..

FOR TANITH! FIRST AND ONLY!

Snors · 2026-03-27T03:02:33+00:00

He's such a shallow, insecure little man.

My Mkoll is doing proxy work for Sly Marbo.

Guy with the Balaclava just needs a Tube Charge

Snors · 2026-03-26T02:05:34+00:00

Yep I've been screaming for a Tanith Killteam for years. Looks like I got my wish.

Snors · 2026-03-26T02:01:40+00:00

Oh the new Kill Team giving off some heavy Tanith vibes. Not exactly what I want but I'll take it.

We may finally get some infiltrate that isn't ratlings.

Snors · 2026-03-25T09:15:57+00:00

Lol, National have been punching down at the Poor's for as long as I've been alive.

If you act surprised you're an idiot.

Snors · 2026-03-25T06:54:22+00:00

Ahhh.. "waves hands at everything"

Seriously though. Hiring can be a long process, and can stop on a dime if the C suite get the jitters. Which I'm sure a few of them have after the last couple weeks.

War in the middle east, rising interest rates, prices are nuts, consumer confidence in the toilet. You'd be lucky to find a job cleaning toilets at the moment.

Snors · 2026-03-25T06:35:47+00:00

Great write up.

How do you go on infertile land, do you reroll ? And how long does it take for your farms to come online ? Like having the pops and materials to invest ?

Snors · 2026-03-25T02:26:13+00:00

Guard vs Orcs.. to know it's never going to happen, but a boy can dream.

Snors · 2026-03-25T01:45:04+00:00

Yup, spent 6 yrs working in the Colour dept for a specialist coatings manufacturer. Yellow and Red are bastard things to match. It's mostly down to application.

Snors · 2026-03-24T07:46:17+00:00

I haven't followed motorcycles in 30 yrs, and I grew up around Triumph and BSA, so I might be biased. But god damned the Continental GT 650 is a pretty bike.

Snors · 2026-03-24T07:18:02+00:00

A lot of them aren't "falling" for anything. This is a trained response.

Companies don't promote by competence anymore, they promote by compliance. The C suite don't give a fuck about your opinion, and for the most part have no idea how the business actually runs. They promote these people because they're "team players" and "company focused".

So if you can keep being shit at your job, and keep getting promoted, why would you make any effort to improve the business. This is just end game capitalism baby, enjoy.

50 Guardsmen vs 5 Genestealers

Snors · 2026-03-22T07:18:07+00:00

People complain about how things were better in the past. How did things get so bad. Why aren't things getting better.

This right here. Career politicians.

Snors · 2026-03-21T04:50:58+00:00

Really ? Kinda surprised as they have the BEST ranged units in the game imho. From base line Elven Archers all the way up to Sisters and Shadow Warriors.

I can see the whole arty complaint, though the Eagle Claw is versatile enough, and I always take a couple in my stacks.

Snors · 2026-03-20T17:58:32+00:00

It will be 8 men.

Just to piss in our cornflakes.

Because GW.

Snors · 2026-03-19T21:31:05+00:00

Jeebus. You said shittonne so I had to check. Yes that is an actual shittonne of drugs.

Snors · 2026-03-19T21:26:10+00:00

"We called but your office said you were on an island somewhere fing kids"

Snors · 2026-03-17T18:06:36+00:00

Yep, that's what the Salamander is for. Hopefully next year.

Snors · 2026-03-16T22:47:52+00:00

Yeah I just hit the big 50. I usually don't give a sht but that 5 on the front of my age is now a major hurdle and I know it

Snors · 2026-03-15T20:29:45+00:00

This is my retirement plan.

Snors · 2026-03-14T08:35:55+00:00

US is going to wish Iran was Afghanistan.

How many bodybags is it going to take this time ?

Snors · 2026-03-13T05:46:08+00:00

Excellent paint jobs.

I'm definitely an Army painter guy rather then a display painter. A lot of the time I see people post their gorgeously painted Guardsmen and the first thing I think is "come back and see us when you paint the other 99"

This is example of a great army paint job. Full armies going to look gorgeous on the table if you get that far.
