I see your point, however i dont expect to pay over twice the amount of money for a 40k plastic tank than i would pay for a Resin and Metal historical tank and then have too convert to make it look nice

For me they are not really bland, I think just adding a huge model to each army is a bit of a cash grab but thats what we should expect.
I dont see how bringing out updated stuff predictably each month can be anything but a good thing, it could be so much worse.

Back to that conversion for a sec, the head and extra tail stuff looks like it's from the forgefiend kit. *Edit* Also you can't tell me this doesn't scream "We only put 30 seconds of thought into this concept".

I, for one, like he fact they're using Epic designs as a base for Apocalypse kits, even if there are some elements (such as the head) which I don't think work.
Bring on the Silver Towers of Tzeentch!

Wow havent seen that yet! Hope they have some different apoc stuff in there - but i wouldnt mind large epic things, because they have been around for over a decade. However i do see your point, looking into it, it does seem, well, bland.

Not excusing GW's mistakes, mind you, but seriously, it is a seamless shift from "why does GW update so slowwww!" to "these quick regular updates are too predictableeee!"
If it hasn't already been said: I am allergic to dogs. So I want to whine about GW's new codex!

Slower releases appears to equate to more in-depth releases; with greater changes and more stuff: what I suspect he meant by more "dynamic".
Do you think they are only working on one project at a time? There was a good 8 months when nothing was released for fantasy. Now every two months something is coming out. I believe it has more to do with their law suit with chapter house. Don't make rules for a model that you don't have an actual model available. Now they are not putting out rules for models that don't exist.

I feel the same. The new Eldar models look kind of generic and uncreative. The Wrathguard just got an update that did not change much, which is ok. But the flyer and the Wrathknight just look boring to me. The flyer looks just like a modern fighter plane only a bit more curved and the Wrathknight looks like an upscaled Guardian. They look like the designers where just working to rule and where not really invested.
Its creativity is what made GW great. The reason why I play 40k instead of another game that would cost me much less money is that I love the models and the 40k universe. But when I think over it, most the stuff that caught me was introduced in the 90s, and actually GW is mostly feasting on its old ideas since then.

To be fair, the artists could have spent a lot of time deliberately planning how to make the ugliest possible model. Making something as bad as that take a lot of effort you know.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |
