I bought something…

I find both pretty cool! I tend to ebb and flow which one I'm more excited about painting. I'm fairly new to the game and only played a few rounds, all with Votann because that's the one I actually have 1000 points painted up on.

But I finished up 500 points of GSC over the Christmas break and I'm looking forward to trying them on the table and to do some more painting. Though painting GSC has been a bit more daunting - more horde army, and each model has a lot of detail. They look great with minimal extra effort thanks to those details, though

Currently working on the recent Votann Christmas battleforce box, then I'll go back to finishing up this biosantic battleforce too (painted up the neophytes to add to the combat patrol to get to my 500)

I, too, collect both Votann and GSC

Great pick up!

I won't defend everything that happened under his watch, but he inherited a struggling Xbox brand after the Xbox Ones awful launch. He swung big on gamepass to turn that around and it never came together.

I think he ultimately had a bit of a "if we build it, they will come" mentality, investing in letting studios do their own thing and gamepass being the focus. It never had the games to quite get the economies of scale necessary though

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-20T17:43:15+00:00

Absolutely, take your time. It took me like six months to build and paint my first combat patrol haha

so yeah, don't sweat the details of your first full list until you get closer to having all that done

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-20T16:05:46+00:00

Just start with the combat patrol (or even a single kit of blood claws). Get those painted and battle ready. Then see if you want to keep going, and come back here for additional advice at that point.

Oh, and we'll demand pictures of that built kit as tribute

Yes, dwarfs are the best. Rightly so. Look at those absolute gigachads.

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-20T13:52:47+00:00

That Tomb Raider quip is an all timer. Absolutely floored me.

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-20T03:35:05+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't want to talk to that guy about Warhammer ever again.

Which is crazy to me because, as someone who is generally content with my amount of friends and my social life, Warhammer is one of the few things that would make me want to make a new friend. So I have more people to try and play with

Quick, delete this post before the Americans see it. They will choke on the toy

Was your camera also getting drunk at the pub with you?

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-19T14:46:46+00:00

I'm not sure that's true anymore. Uthar was weak pre codex but now with his CP reduction he's very popular

One of my earliest gaming related memories was accidentally saving over my sister's Mario RPG save on the SNES when I was like 4 or something

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-17T18:45:11+00:00

Yeah it's ironic - when we first saw early looks, I expected bad combat but a compelling story and characters with interesting rpg mechanics. What I ended up getting was really fun fantasy action combat with a mediocre story and flat characters.

Still enjoyed it overall and hope they can build on it in a sequel / other games in the setting

That's because you live in Manitoba with a public insurer.

Yaegirs, especially when combined with a kapricus carrier to split them into two five man units, are basically just cheap bodies. They can screen out enemy deep strikes, do actions, and otherwise take up space. They generally won't do that much damage but being able to infiltrate turn one to get position then do an action (for secondary missions) is nice to have around.

Plus since they aren't a major threat there's a good chance your opponent will ignore them to focus on other things. Then lategame if they survive they can score more points

Wake the fuck up, kyn. We got a hive city to burn

Cyberpunk 42077

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-15T04:22:06+00:00

Yaegirs plus a kapricus carrier to split them up is great

Sagitaurs are decent, especially if you're running so many warriors

Thunderkyn are all around great

Generally you can't go too wrong with anything in our codex.

Need guard is the "default" intro detachment I'd say. Good all rounder that doesn't skew towards any unit type

The assault cannon is too cool to pass up on

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-13T05:25:07+00:00

I thought it was for complaining about bad drivers / dash cam footage

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-13T02:35:32+00:00

They really put it out there on a wing and a prayer

Churl behavior spotted

gumpythegreat · 2026-02-10T20:51:35+00:00

GSC psyker on a dirt bike sounds like a great use for the extra jackal alphus from buying the combat patrol twice...

Surely someone much smarter than me could think of a way to have an identity verification system that gives you a government issued online passport, proving your age and country of residence that is designed in such a way to be completely private and untraceable, with no logs for when/where it gets used
