One of the senior artists for GW (Jes Goodwin, designer of the Mechanicum, Skitarii, Dark Eldar, Eldar and loads of other stuff) commented to me that he didn't like that artist's credits were removed from the recent books, and I presume that the more senior members of the writing team will tend to feel the same. The new Forge World catalog has no more artists mentioned, either, so you won't actually know who sculpted or designed what in the future. I think it'd be pretty easy to sculpt, design or write in a subtle 'gently caress you' for only that person to see, but the way everything seems to be done is a closed room of staff members that check and double-check each other's work, so it would have to be a very subtle message.

The last few pages is why the 30k thread was gassed and by now you should be ready to admit it


God loving drat, are you trying to be an embarrassing caricature or do you live it?

I was actually agreeing with you Arivia but trying and failing to be funny, like I usually do . You guys are running this whole thing with her into the ground tripping over yourselves to fight not so much against what she said but the straw man you've built up.


Also this is pretty gross. But I think thats being unfair to 2012.


Tiny toy men are wannabe Veblen goods? It's not unique to GW, unfortunately. Before Grogs got gassed I posted a rant from a different minis game where a dude got jumped on for asking for the cheapest way to get started and got told if he wasn't going to go in whole hog he shouldn't even bother and to stay away, that the hobby was only for people like him with the money and dedication.
