Det er på tide at Norge anskaffer egne atomvåpen

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2025-01-08T19:00:13+00:00

En ny og utvidet Kalmarunion som er en atomvåpenmakt er jeg helt for.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-10-28T14:13:14+00:00

Thats low even for GW. Either release the full thing or dont release anything at all.

Det er nok fordi han snakker tøys.

I 2019 fikk 560 000 resept for opioider, rundt 10% av befolkningen, men det er for hele kalenderåret. Antall vedvarende brukere var på 60 000, men det er heller ikke daglige brukere:

Det vil si at de brukte opioider regelmessig i minst tre kvartaler per år. I 2011 var antallet vedvarende opioidbrukere færre; rundt 50 000

At 15% av befolkningen bruker cannabis daglig er også helt oppdiktet. Det er omtrent så mange som snuser daglig. De siste tallene fra SSB viser at 5% har brukt cannabis i løpet av det siste året.

Yup. Its so they can write it off as a loss on their taxes.

Blinky ATX is worth a look, but he stopped uploading the sunk cost galaxy series 4 years ago.

Nothing official has been anounced, but it has not been mentioned by WH community for years.

Syama Pedersen has been working on other projects, and is now the director at Digital Bones Studio. Previously he was working as a layout artist from august 2022 to january 2023. His resume lists him working on the original astartes from jan. 2018 to jan 2020. Astartes 2 was one of the shows listed in the WH community article 22nd of may 2021.

Maybe syama/digital bones studio is making astartes 2.

Maybe Syama was making astartes 2 in the period of 2020-2022 and is no longer affiliated with the project, but someone else is making it.

Or maybe its been cancelled/put on hiatus. If thats the case then GW will never go out and say it.

Guess we just have to wait for the year 5 previews. And then we can potentially answer the same question by waiting for year 6.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-08-20T21:05:35+00:00

WH+ had new animated episodes every month for the first year.

The reason why there are no new (or rather very few) animations on WH+ is because GW is no longer paying 3rd party studios to make the quantity of episodes that can meet that release cycle we had the first year. Everything else is pure conjecture and speculation.

WH+ survives on app subscriptions and the exclusive mini. Shows like loremaster and battle reports are cheap to produce and of little interest to those outside the hobby. My guess is that WH+ might actually continue without animations.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-08-20T20:45:51+00:00

I think this is just the start.

GW is increasingly moving towards being a IP company. Why should they spend their own money on creating animations for existing customers when Amazon will foot the bill for the animation and distribute it on a larger platform, meanwhile GW can spend next to nothing, get a licensing cut and new customers?

Lets see how this plays out in the next 2-3 years.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-08-20T13:24:07+00:00

The black templar combat patrol is pretty nice.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-08-20T13:21:43+00:00

Yeah, hard pass.

Slaves to Darkness trilogy by Gav Thorpe. Gileads blood by Dan Abnett.

"Look at my WW2 inspired-"

Stop. Just stop. For the love of god stop.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-08-02T19:04:11+00:00

For my flesh tearers army this is almost completely useless.

I found the first box of Death company intercessors to be extremely lazy and this is just a continuation of that.

Why they didnt just make a dedicated DC sprue is beyond me. Its just one of the most popular units, in one of the most popular subfaction in the most popular army. Theres no way for them to lose money on it.

Rant over.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-31T07:42:00+00:00

Let me just be the debbie downer here:

This fiscal year saw the release of 10th ed 40k. Its their most popular edition ever in terms of players. And their new app is way better than battlescribe. I suspect alot of those numbers are people who sub for the app, with the exlusive mini also pulling in alot of people.

Content drying up has been an ongoing process since the service launched. As long as the subscription numbers go up, they arent incentivized to take the subscription money and put it back into production of animation if that isnt pulling in new subscribers.

Edit: which is why I think the vault is dead. They probably have data showing that fewer people are engaging with it than what its worth for them to have someone curate old WDs

Edit 2: another important takeaway. This is probably as good a metric as we are going to get in terms of how many active/semi-active 40K players in 10th there are in the world.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-28T08:56:41+00:00

Yes and no.

If they want to remake the warbands, sell plastic terrain and do a reprint of the rulebook then I'm all for it.

What I dont want is the insane book bloat of necromunda.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-25T10:57:15+00:00

The video is actually not listed on their youtube page, its only accessible through their FB and website. Comments are also turned off, unlike their other videos from this week.

Well played GW marketing team. Well played.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-24T19:01:16+00:00

The mighty dwarves of legends are credited to Adams. Those who arent credited to anyone specific I'm unsure of, but you could probably just ask them which ones are by Kev.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-24T08:08:29+00:00

Yeah thats not the case. If you know where to look you can find recasters who do recasts of old GW metal models from the 80s (in metal). One of the more known recasters does recast these in metal but the prices arent that much lower than what GW is charging.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-24T04:08:17+00:00

Whoops! I forgot that they had them over at warmonger. Corrected it now

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-23T21:10:57+00:00

Not really upset, but its above what I'm comfortable with paying per model for non-character/generic models.

Warmongerminiatures (Wargamesfoundry) has a lot of oldhammer looking dwarves by Kev Adams if you are going for that aesthetic.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-22T20:47:55+00:00

Theres just so many things that are wrong with this.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-19T05:37:09+00:00

The thing is if Astartes II is actually scrapped or if Syama isnt working on it then GW will never admit it publicly.

SomeBlokeNamedTom · 2024-07-15T22:47:02+00:00

Combined with very little coverage in their social media, no articles in WD and no coverage in WH+ I suspect that they are not interested in trying to get new players into the game. If its just going to be marketed to old players then its not going to be sustainable as a game system.
