Well, some around here are hardcore internet hate machine members for sure. I've been called out on not supporting the boycott that some have set up here.

Yeah, just stayed away from those threads myself as I'm usually the "GW isn't so bad, guys!" guy. ::flinches, looks around:: Whew! Anyway, maybe the release of products like the ones in this thread will mollify some of those peeps as they need less and less from GW itself.

Packs to 1x1' by 2.5" deep? That means the tiles are only ~2.6 mm or ~0.1 inch thick. Might as well just get a fancy battlemat, considering the price.

Rogue Market agreed with you on front page: http://www.zuzzy.com

Again.

Let's just see some pictures of the product first.

As for the faction based internet hatefest game, I'm up for some of that.

Dakkamunda? House Apologenta vs House Nerdragious vs House Ohit'sjustAgamemnon2railingagainstbothsides.

DAKKAMUNDA!! Genius!

yeah,
Packs away into a drawer, sounds like a great idea to start with... But 1'x1' Vinyl Tiles! that sounds lame... they will move all over the place during a game, and flocked bendy tiles will soon be bald bendy tiles!

Bingo!

24" x 24" textured hard plastic tiles that click together... perfect for warhammer gamers

Panic...

...But who would be each faction's hero list? Their troops?

On-Topic:

If I wanted drybrushed, flocked floor tile to make a portable table...well. I'd probably just do it myself. Unless they're really, really, really, REALLY well done.

Honestly I would rather pay the full retail of 50% more to get a realm of battle board than flocked/drybrushed vinyl, and that is saying something about how bad this sounds.

Perhaps I should have modified that to add..."if they do not cost an arm and a leg." I'm up for "cheap if unprepared", "moderately priced for high quality prepared". I am not up for "extortionate and I have to do all the work". I'm the kind to guy that is quite prepared to pay someone to do some work, but if I have to do a lot of the work myself I damn well want it cheap. This whole attitude that GW are prepared to charge me for the "opportunity to assemble and paint something that they have made" is bollocks. I'll pay the going rate for a model that someone has assembled and painted for me.

I have a reasonable collection of prepainted WW2 1:72 tanks for instance - you can get them at around £10 - £14 each, saves me the hassle of assembling and painting the models. I also have a reasonable set of plastic kits I have made up in the same scale. They cost roughly £5-£7 Both seem reasonable prices for what I get. If someone came along and said "here's a 1:72 WWII plastic tank kit for £12 though I'd politely ignore them. Sure painting and assembling can be fun, but it is still a task that if someone else were to do it for me would cost me money. I am NOT prepared to pay for the chance of doing it myself. That is preposterous. Yet GW (and PP, to be fair, looking at their recent prices) seem to have built their pricing strategy on the concept.

2 Foot x 2 Foot carpet tiles, Mine are green on top black under neath.
Paint them as you want them

Those 1' squares would sure come in handy for range estimation.

I just have a 4x8 sgeet of painted plywood that works for me

So, no pictures of this at all? Or are they hiding somewhere and I'm not finding them.

Bahhahahahaha.

You think you have it bad? I'm the closest thing to a GW enthusiast in my gaming group (I've even occasionally taken to buying items retail to support the store! *gasp/horror here*) - and so the crap I get for enjoying current rules and releases is rather interesting - especially as it includes people like HBMC.

@lords2001: I was just listing to the Imperial Vox Cast podcast yesterday and their latest topic is CSM. They talk about the Codex as awesome. I would hate to see what HBMC would do if he got his hand on 'em.

It's quite possible they were forced to say that at gunpoint.

Or they have a copy we don't.

And are hoarding it. Like white gold.

Or hot cocoa.

They described the change in the CSM codex reflecting a switch from fluffy to crunchy rules. Given that HBMC is a committed gooomba of the Casual Gamer Mafia, I can see why that kind of change would trouble him.

Yes, Lords2001 is part of our group. And it's not that I don't find GW releases interesting - believe you me, I want those new 'Nids - it's just their rules and business practices that leave much to be desired.

But at the end of the day, he's a min-maxing power gamer, and wants to play in tournaments. And we all know what Tournament Gamers are like: Scum. Of. The. Earth. Chances are they're responsible for global warming (assuming there is such a thing).

This message brought to you by the Dakka Casual Gaming Mafia - 'Winning is for losers!'

HBMC, that reminds me.

Wanna help make the most fluff based Cadian army list, you'll ever see on the internets?

I hear Hitler was a *spits* Tournament Gamer too. Think on that, Dakkaites! Do you really want to be like Hitler? It's not too late for most of you to come back into the light!

If they weren't before they will be by the time it works through YMDC.

He had the coolest gaming table ever to, it even saved his life.

Only 2 pages in for a Nazi reference?

Isn't that a bit early?

Special circumstances.

It's tournament gamers!

Churchill was a fluff monkey. He even wrote that mult-volume history of english speaking peoples. All Hitler did was write that huge tirade about RAW, Mein Kampf. I hear frazz locked that thread. Pretty epic.

Lol. Its true, I'm a destroyer of lists, armies and men. But honestly, I usually enjoy the anticipation of new releases, and good ideas, and awesome models - for example, I have more than 55 Space Wolf Terminators sitting on my shelf .

I enjoy all of those things more than powerful rules - I mean, heck, I never use them anyway.
