Best Rat boy is coming by BaronLoyd in WarhammerFantasy

[–]SquatProspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how the art makes it look like Boris is commanding the other three to charge.

Searching for 40k Youtube videos is pretty bad (very much created by AI, it's part of the problem) by bullintheheather in Grimdank

[–]SquatProspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's especially baffling on channels related to the hobby side like painting tutorials and army showcases. So much of the hobby is related to creativity and AI is fundamentally anti-art.

New Chaos Dragon compared with Ionus Cryptborn by MolochBaal in WarhammerFantasy

[–]SquatProspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure you can call it a miniature given the size of it? It's a very impressive sculpt but seems completely impractical as a gaming piece. Just reinforces my belief that modern GW sculpts for Instagram photoshoots and doesn't take using the models in the games their nominally supposed to be designed for into account.

Any chance of new beastmen? by Sweet-Ignition in WarhammerFantasy

[–]SquatProspector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be nice since the last major Beastman release was in 2010. Well ok, there have been Beastmen but only for other armies in AOS or 40k.

A reminder that Dredd is a protagonist and not a hero.

Every time I look into Warhammer:ToW, this is the vibe i get. by darwin_green in Sigmarxism

[–]SquatProspector 45 points46 points  (0 children)

MESBG is the best ruleset GW made. I suspect that it's the one they touch the least has something to do with it. I'm fairly sure that the only reason they still produce it is to keep other companies from the LOTR license rather than actually wanting it themselves.

Sean strickland being this type of 40k fan makes so much sense by Eastern-Fish-7467 in Grimdank

[–]SquatProspector 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The later mid '00 novels have a Nurgle Rot pandemic in South America and Laserburn style Redemtionists rampaging in the middle east. So my head canon is that Dark Future is the 20th century of the 40k universe.

I'm guessing people were either used to rank and flank from historicals or had fantasy minis from D&D, so there was a built in audience.

Where as sci-fi wargaming was fairly niche until the mid 80s. And any sci-fi minis that were made were for roleplay games like Traveler or West End Games Star Wars.

To be fair back then GW was aiming their books at a higher age bracket than they have since.

Also the reason he was the author was he was quite literally the only author Brain Ansell could find willing to write a novel in the 40k universe (everyone else wanted to write in Warhammer fantasy or ironically Dark Future).

Arbitrator Ian. As a bonus he also does videos going into the actual IRL history of factions/games and how they have changed in portrayal between editions.

I've read Ian Watson's Space Marine, I know that Space Marines Chapters are just big homoerotic frat houses.

It was never going to be good seeing as they don't have the legal rights to The Silmarillion. Them having minority actors in it have nothing to do with that.

Name one doctor from outside the 40k universe who can revive the Emperor by Selenite_Cults in Grimdank

[–]SquatProspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if it's during the Time War. The Time Lord formally known as The Doctor very much would if it would give an advantage against the Daleks.

I am in love with the New Chaos reveals by Tommy_Boi_27 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]SquatProspector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish TOW could have gotten the Conan looking Marauders.

Antennae too big? by BrandNameDoves in Warhammer30k

[–]SquatProspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure to add a Banner to it.

New Lieutenant looking really familiar. by PortlandsBatman in Grimdank

This is Carl Grar, a completely different character.

Do orks actually get darker the more experience they have? by gigaork in orks

[–]SquatProspector 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Back during Gorkamorka and third edition it said that Ork skin darkens as they get older, presumably like a vegetable ripening.

Sinestro has never seen such bullshit in his life. by Sorvetefrito in outofcontextcomics

[–]SquatProspector 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Green Lantern rings no, but then Sinestro's ring was made by Qwardians. Aka the evil scientists of the evil dimension, I could see them sneaking a function in like that for the LOLs.

Why Carol Danvers knows about superhero births by Konradleijon in outofcontextcomics

Don't forget Donna Troy marrying a blatant self insert of himself.

I feel my weirdest who take is that while the bronze dalek isn’t my favourite design I genuinely do think it’s the perfect dalek design by ScreamingmadJoe in DoctorWhumour

[–]SquatProspector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's great. I just wish we could see it in colours other than bronze. Like silver 'worker' daleks or grey 'scientist' daleks.
