How hard could it be?! Surely the combined genius that is some internet folks on a message board always know better than the largest tabletop gaming company...

Yeah, I've never understood this fallacy.

Someone made fun of the company that makes the game I love??? I must INSULT THEM for daring to speak light of my game!!

I cannot believe how badly people are getting bent out of shape about a joke post about GW. Seriously, it's actually kind of scary.

Mean old dakka people



Well, in other news it seems that WH-AOS is going to be those four pages. And there isn't any real balancing of the armies- at least according to mikhaila, there's not even a points system! Just gentlemen's agreements on what constitutes an army. But I'm sure the largest tabletop company could never make a significant mistake...

Nobody seems all that bent out of shape, just giving gak back to someone giving gak. Relax.

What, I'm not tense You should relax though. Take these sorts of threads as a joke and you'll be all the better.

No, all that stuff happened too. They even managed to get the ape-man proportions of a laser rifle equipped human just right!

I'm pretty sure that only legoburner, yakface, and a handful of other people not directly connected to dakka made MEdge. Neither the mods nor the rest of the posters on dakka had absolutely no connection to the making of that game.

But hey, keep propping up that strawman, I'm sure it'll hold up eventually. Maybe by then 40k will be converted into an entirely different game too! With only 2 pages of rules!

Thanks for the kind words.

I know there are people who looked at this and thought it was too negative, too cynical, too pessamistic.

Well I just saw Mikhaila's review of the game and realized...

I'm an optimist.

Fix the poll for multiple choice. Or else whippy stick torture. Because reasons.

New whippy sticks needs to be an option. I'm totally stoked about new whippy sticks, feth the toys.

You know, I hadn't realized just how many hammers there are. But there's a lot of them.

A whole lot of hammers.

A bag full of hammers?

whats everyone's guess how much play testing went into AoS?

My guess is a New York minute

P.S. I voted "moar Khorne" because he's the only chaos god that has the personality of a 4 page rulebook so he fitz da bestest

Benny Hill was pretty funny...but then he had the bald guy to slap around and half-naked ladies running all over the place.

No, I can take a lot of joke, in fact I quite liked it when he first started doing this, just most jokes stop being funny when you repeat them for over year without moving onto something new. It's like living off past glories - too close to home and too near the bone more than he'll ever know, even

Yeah, I don't have any humor at all - I don't even watch proper funny American series like the Big Ban Theory (lol omg sheldon xD1!!)

Errrr what? Don't even see how this is close to his other stuff other than the fact that it's making fun of games workshop. P.S. Pretty ironic considering you have that "In Russia" joke in your signature which is even older and significantly more lame

Glad to see we could fit some casual racism in the mix, this thread is rockin' and rollin now!

Well then, let's get back to the topic at hand then!

The war scrolls have surfaced and it looks like *drum roll* there are no points in the game! Yes, the only balancing comes from a "sudden death" scenario when your opponent outnumbers you in models!

My favorite part of KK's posts is that the jokes so often end up right next to reality

So if there are no point costs for units and armies the person with the biggest collection wins every time, because the sudden death objectives are optional.


How does one get warscrolls for old models?

They'll all be online by the weekend apparently.

I'm looking forward to how simplified the rules may end up being. One of the problems I always had with actually 'gaming' with my armies was none of my buddies had any interest in studying a rulebook for something that's supposed to be fun. I eventually stopped buying the BRBs because, well, aside from reading them myself I never actually used them.

Now it will be easier to find opponents because more people will be willing to learn a few pages of rules.

Excellent. Also, inb4 'competitive players' (lol) get all mad and tell me off in assorted styles.

Pretty funny when you realise it's better than that of Murica hurr durr.

I'll repeat myself from the previous page: "mad cuz bad". A simple, short sentence, so I'm sure you'll be able to understand it.

Although I'm not quite sure wjy you had to start with the "hurr durr Europoors suck Murica xD" anyway.

More players is nice but I don't want to lose the miniature ranges.

When even the mods themselves start troll threads, you know things have seriously gone to hell.

While I am in general pretty cynical about everything, and I fear this Age of Sigmar nonsense is the biggest disaster ever, very deep within me there is still a tiny sparkle of hope that GW will finally manage to put out a great ruleset (LOTR proves they can do it)

Nothing wrong with Dutch humour (note: despite the flag I am not Dutch). They have produced some pretty hilarious stuff. It is just that you won't be able to see that outside of the Netherlands because it is in Dutch, and people outside of the Netherlands usually are incapable of understanding that.
Also, the Dutch record may be a joke, the US one is just sad, especially from such a large country.
I agree with the Soviet Russia jokes being incredibly lame though.

You forgot the savings I will have by not investing in it. Heck if I want to play the train wreck, I can play with the models I already own. Its lose-lose! Our community gets divided on the game, nobody can get any games in either way, and GW dosen't make a dime. I dident think screw ups on this level by corporations were still a thing.

I think there's hope left in most of the people who frequent the GW-related forums- otherwise, why would we be here? It's just been let down by this slurry of releases that go in the following order:

Oh it can't be that bad.

Oh no, it is!

Oh but this bit is good news, so it's still good!

OH GOD, it's even worse than I could have imagined!

Correspondingly, the number of KK joke posts has been increasing since the replacement of 40k 6th with its pitiful two-year lifespan. I'd love to see GW put themselves back together, but in recent times we've been getting rumors of significant dissent within the group of designers, and we've lost nearly all of the people who made these games possible with no good replacements, so hope seems to dwindle (certainly don't have any in Jervis!). LOTR was indeed a great ruleset, but I think it marked the peak of rules produced by GW, and it's been sloping downhill at an ever-increasing rate.

Well, at least these rules are free!
