the average model is stupidly expensive already

you don't need to parade out the special order size of a dinner table model to make fun of 40k

to be honest i just googled "most expensive warhammer 40k model" out of my own morbid curiosity and decided to post the results

not only that but those models on display are iirc twice the size of the normal models so the studio painters can paint them really pretty so they look good

Nope, they live on the Age of Sigmar. In fact the Horned Rat replaced Slaanesh, who got too fat on elf souls and died.

But Age of Sigmar is loving garbage, so who gives a gently caress

But wahammer was garbage anyways. "Lets combine Moorcock and Tolkien together."

There's still an appreciable difference between a small garbage can in your house and the city dump, though.

Professor Shark posted:

Man I keep thinking about how it would be fun to make my own Lost Legion, one of the two that were Excommunicated

My plan was to always have the gimmick be that the Primarch was a loving imbecile who landed on an Ork planet and thought he was an Ork and just romped around the galaxy waging war. His legion would be Fast Attack based, always on his heels, and always fail to capture him/ convince him that he was a human. The veterans of the army would be sort of like the Iron Hands, in that they were mostly bionics, because they would get the poo poo beat out of them pleading for him to return while not fighting back.

But yeah, the cost. I'll probably just do what I'm doing with the money now, drinking and spending it on more socially acceptable hobbies.

This is an awesome idea and I would read the whole book series.
