GW hates their customers, they want new people to get interested in the game and buy a couple armies then move on, since they stop buying stuff and start demanding more Of course they don't advertise or do anything to appeal to new customers so what the gently caress

I remember some guy who came into the store who had such a bad anterior tilt he had that pornstar rear end-out-and-back-arched look permanently. He was a grotesque manchild with a bowl cut.

Is there any group of nerds who get as defensive about a consumerist hobby as these dudes do concerning their mini-dolls?

Nah tournaments are way too harsh and I'm not very good at the game I just like playing with friends or pick up games at shops when I can find them. You can play for money and they even have painting and diorama competitions. I think it's called the golden axe or dwarf or something.

Space Marine was very solid and I'm a bit sad there probably wont be a sequel. Dawn Of War 1/2 are really solid RTSes

Ben Smash posted:Dude Space Marine was awesome and the talisman-based board game, Relic, is super fun. Going to be honest, I never played a lot of the games. I know they came out and I know they did well but I don't think they did much better than average. They didn't spawn a whole line of knock-off sequels - as far as I know. Like good on them on making a buck on their lore and stuff but I don't think those games have really penetrated the mainstream. This is my unqualified opinion of being barely cognisant about video games.

When you pay several dump trucks full of cash for your miniature space men you've got to be super serious about the hobby. Why else would you blew around a hundred bucks for a plastic tank?

Why else would you blew around a hundred bucks for a plastic tank? The tanks are like $40-60 bucks depending on complexity. I bought an APC for like $20 bucks. The bigass baneblade, though. That's $90. That thing is loving huge.

Actually games workshop has no reason to exist in 2016 because of computers Why have a thing with a zillion expensive pieces that you can play with five insane people in your city after extraordinary effort when you can pay five bucks on steam and play a war in an hour with anyone in the world

Lots of people like the modelling aspect and unlike video games, there's a real world interaction and tangible items you play with Edit: it's cool and good to go out for an evening, play a couple games, then go out for a beer

Those children (and their parents) are still a major revenue stream for the company though
