Another question why is he wearing two watches?

Haha good spot!

One broken watch to represent past editions that are no longer supported.
One working watch to represent the time line moving forward in 8th edition.

Can I have a job working for Black Library now please?

Well I'm sure they can copyright drawves, it's probably not worth it though

Of course they can't. Drawves are my IP

He won hers in the previous match.

This cut-throat new breed of tabletop gamer cares little for spending time on terrain placement when there's jewellery to be won.

That blue necklace is about to change hands!

We're playing for jewelry now? That'd be fun...

"And that's game. Girl, give me them earrings!"

Will she play harder when the jewelry is gone and it's for the shirt?

I'm more of the thought that they had to pay a pretty girl or some GW player's girlfriend to stand in for the photo to make it look like less of a sausage fest. A lot of the neckbeards that play aren't exactly very photogenic or pleasurable to be that close to due to hygiene. Most GW girl players aren't that attractive but they do exist from time to time. One was a manager once at a GW store and she was good at painting models supposedly (not that that's a shocker).

But yeah keep your pants on this isn't strip poker and considering the people i play against i would never want it to be. However taking bets on certain expensive items is funnier. I'm a perv too but come on guys don't let the hobby be that off-putting to the women here. I've known pervy girls and you can be pervy around them.

That would have to be the longest 'strip' game ever...

Remember the opening image for the Warhammer Community? Like many modern corporate jokes it was a beautiful array of young, vibrant looking men and women of a nice blend of races, etc. It was comically diverse.

We used to joke in college that whenever we had a girl/guy/+any variety of races we'd all pause and shout "College admissions photo!".

That's actually pretty funny.

I'd swear I just saw a leaked photo of the new Starter and it was Ultras vs. Death Guard with new models. Can't find it in google now though.

To be fair, there's no way to know this is a picture of the new starter. It could just as easily be a shot of people playing for a paphlet or a section in the rules explaining collect - build - paint - play concepts.

Those people are damn awful at terrain placement!

the goal of the picture though isn't to show effective terrain placement, but to show off the models etc.

I'm rather fortunate that my LGS trends to be hygenic. Maybe its because we've tried to encourage people to do that, or just that its too dang hot most of the year to even endure your own stink.

And we actually have a female Slaanesh player in the house. I don't know how photogenic she is, she has too many tats and too skinny for my taste, but I'm pretty sure she'd be hot by many guys standards and not just the mommy's basement types.

I wasn't seriously entertaining the idea. In fact, I don't think that guy had 2 watches. Some guys like to wear bracelets, and some guys wear them for emergency medical information. For all we know someone was dissing a type 1 diabetic.

Kharadron Overlords are pretty science-fiction-y...

Anyway, I'm with OP: When I heard on the Q&A that they said a new faction was coming I expected the internet to explode. It's been relatively crickets. I...I don't understand. This is free content for blogs to endlessly write about!

Ugh.

This is the biggest thing I'm dreading. AoS-style gameplay is fine by me, but it's the 8 million 3-5 unit factions that make me want to vomit. I get it from a model sales angle, but I'm sick of trying to stay up to speed and keep everything straight.

how is this differant from what we've already been getting?

...

So anyway, if we're just going with something i would like regardless of possibility or reason? Revolutionary grots. Everything is too big now, i want to see more focus on the little guy. (and i mean little.)

Looks like Sigmar Marines with wrist bolters? or am I wrong here? Is this the new faction? You guys have probably already seen it.... Sorry if repost...

And now I'm seeing where so much of the reluctance some people I know have for the community comes from.

@Dok, I figured those guys where sanguiary guard or whatever the golden jumpy blood angels are.

Think those are saguinary guard:

Ah... oops... sorry.

I would love to see something like the human auxiliary troops that were talked about in older Tau fluff. Humans who are not part of the imperium and could ally with some xenos species and chaos.

This is something i have often wanted. non imperial humans exist all over in the margins of the fluff, and i'd love some kind or kinds as something playable.
