I have to say that the artwork of the plastic miniatures themselves is poor

**Jubear**

I cant work out if the OP is trolling or if his post is really a haiku

**Omegus**

He might team up with Matt Ward you know.

This thread reminds me of the one where someone wanted to introduce a new race to 40k. Somekind of bipedal magic wolves or something from another galaxy whose homeplanet was swallowed by a black hole and they came into the 40k galaxy with all their flora and fauna to find a new place to live... Why on earth do I remember that?

Holy god one night and there's another four pages!
I mean, before he was kinda, dancing around some points without really explaining anything, but this new race idea? Wow, talk about hypocrisy. Firstly it's mechs are poorly integrated, then they were, then they weren't again. Then it was GW ideas are boring, and then they weren't and then they were. And now, after calling GW unoriginal, we have maybe THE most generic idea they could add into 40k. Well done OP, I had at least some hope. What's the cherry on the cake? The criticism of the Tyranids. Are you broken? The very things apparently wrong with them are the very base concepts which make them different in 40k, the swarm, just a carpet of limbs and maws. The highlight of that post, as in, the cherry on the cherry on the cake, was a criticism of the COLOUR SCHEME! My god, paint them whatever you want, that's just an example and one that makes sense, the plates being differentiated from the main body mass.

I'm still wanting an explanation on how NATO is a design style. It would be great if the OP would fething listen to the arguments against him.

Well at least we know he will never explain NATO as a design style... maybe he will come up with another amazingly original race.

Funniest and most WTF thing I've read online for ages . . . thanks for the memories OP. We will never know if you are messing us about or are genuinely insane.

1 a pure Mech side

this could be split into two factions the royalists and the workers ( bit like the IG split NATO & RAMBO ) Now the Royalist are new plastic , small in number (low tooling cost) but with some Uber mechwarriors / dreadnoughts & HQ's . Design and artwork = Stunning Chrome and white ?

The workers , Humana Mechanica ( human grease monkey mechanics ) have a wide selection of mechs. They make their living servicing mechs of all the other sides. So they have a huge Mad Max style range to choose from...every mech in the 40k universe ( making use of plastic already in production) ...they are the dent and scratch brigade. Urban matt black or sandrust brown.

you need at least shiny new 1 HQ and 1 Royalist mech/dreadnought as a leader. The rest can be made from the mechanic. you could , if you want have a side of 100% royalist mechs. So there we have it , a new army and a totally new theme for minimum tooling costs. Fluff ? well they live on the outer arms of the galaxy , near a jump gate that allows them to receive incoming shipments of mech warriors for spares or repairs.

Doesn't fit within existing fluff and plagiarizes on at least 3 animes I saw just last week.
Also, nice "plagiarizing" of already existing themes, such as the Borgeoise/Proletariat of Marx. Go you, communista.

Now do you see how easy it is to pick "stolen" themes in an army?

Don't diss LotR it's pretty damn fun...

**Soladrin**

Wasn't talking about the game really, since I've never heard of anyone, or seen anyone play it XD

Fair point still blaming LotR for anything that GW does is stupid... like really stupid.

Well, we laughed, we cried, and we all learnt a valuable lesson about... well, I don't know. Something.
