interestingggggg. more GW promo haha.
Saw this advertised through google ads.

I suppose they want us gamers to start following up on their geek news channel or something.

No way bro!

Anyone else expect an ad for one of their crappy shows every second to third paragraph?

I think I'd watch Pimp My Warhams, not gonna lie.

I'd watch a cribz episode about scenery and terrain.

A Wargamming TV show or TV channel would be good.

YO DAWG, WE HEARD YOU LIKE

Yo Pimp My Land Raider...

I like pimp my battlewagon

This is great! We were just discussing how they needed to attempt some proper advertising and this is a great step forward! Who Knows Sheldon Might be Playing Grey Knights against Howard's Slaanesh daemonettes in an Episode of Big Bang theory (Not gonna lie, it would be cool)

Impressive. Most impressive.

Weird.

Are we getting dangerously close to Raef being right again??

What would he be right about this time? I missed it.

That's cool, actually.

Warhammer actually does have a potential audience among people who are interested in other things they talk about, I think. Once they get interested, it's pretty likely that they'll buy a couple things, which benefits the hobby (Gw's pocket) in a positive way

You mean giving us even MORE 13 year old kids swarming over the stores?

I like that there is a link for D&D at the bottom and the Skaven release. You would think if you are on MTV Nerd already they would assume you would have more articles of interest in their archives.

Brilliant.

I expected it to be full of low-attention span shaky camera angles.

A top-down camera view, and a 360 panner and you have a show. Since it's made for tv it'll have good terrain and well-painted models. Find an attractive nerd-girl to host, and I think you'd have a great 43 minutes of programming.

The Orcs may be low-tech, but for those players wishing to add a little magic in with their new savage units, the Wurrzag servers as the perfect shaman.

Edit FAIL.

Worse than that...the MTV fan 13 year olds. Coming soon to a GW near you...excessive ghetto slang.

Good to hear that warhams is getting some press. If more people can be brought into the hobby, prices will have to stay where they are. Or people will take one look at the price of starting up the hobby and say "Ef that."

Good press wasted by the time the kids and there parents see the prices and its all for nothing in the end.

Pretty funny, considering its the same crowd that will shell out over $100 for a pair of sneakers. Then do it again a few months later when the newest style comes out.

Or 60 bucks for a video game, then buy a new one once they get bored.

I coughed when I opened to an MTV page. Warhammer, on MTV? Maybe Minature Wargaming is being introduced to the masses? I can dream...

Have you seen the masses? I'm fine with miniature wargaming being a niche hobby. I think there's a good case for niche programming too, even on broadcast television channel like MTV.

I would totaly watch a DIY or HGTV show on how to build/furnish your gaming mancave!!! I just see Holmes building my gaming table to "proper specs" and getting some usefull built-ins to display terrain and models!!!

Only one word for this show.....WINNING!

"pimp my army" and "carry casez"

carry casez is to do with looking at cool armies and the cases they inhabit

pimp my army is all about, well this:
