I don't even know how to address this sarcastic monkey pump that that article became.
I applaude the effort, and if you took your ego out of the writing, the comparison piece wouldn't have had half bad. Your opinionated article lost a lot of steam when you honestly didn't know your audience, and the subject, enough to have to resort to the kindergarten yard gak, " I said so, so it's true..."
If you try it again, stick to objective, and leave the propaganda to
GW. Your not a paid hack, so quit with the gobblygook groupspeak. Leave your ego at the door.
We won't even get into the "ragequitters" smack... If anything, you produced a clear impression of why alienation and turning people away from the hobby is a cool thing to do...
Honestly you don't know what your writing about if you think that "Better, because its PLASTIC...." is the basis of the issue.
And for what its worth,
GW has lost touch with thier so called "Target Audience." The old one had" a guy named "Fat Bloke", who every month of his iteration, he would come into the magazine and discuss and actually TRY to be sociable.
Not just spill out the party line.
The mag was what it was, and until they ended up becoming coperate hack, they actually had different content for different games. That other article, about the comparison of Rampage was a vary good anolgy. In fact, if you go back and picked up
WD 45-100, you would have a very good comparison to make between
WD of those days, and Rampage of today.
If you want to write about a hobby subject, stick to the subject, and don't open up yourself with weak childs writing.
X is X, here is what I thought about it...... Point A, B, and C. I might think this, but I am presenting this opinion.
Y is Y, here is what I thought about it, Here is where I am coming from with my opinion. Point A, B, and C.
Opening up and connecting with the reader. THAT? That stuff was just kool guy blogspeak. !@#$ That. Arrogance without the added aroma of
BS. It was even worse when you put in that your models were featured in the "New" mag.
I'd like to see a comaprison of the old models, compared to the NEW painted ones style and paint quality.
A comparison between paints. Reaper,
GW, Valajo. etc... I use this, heres why...
Brush work. I use this palet, these brushes, here's what you need to do to get this effect....
Model quality/ conversion. Heres a great way to add in battlefield effects to your base. Heres a way to add character to your models...
Don't quit writing, and take what I said with a grain of salt, but the last thing
GW honestly needs is more corperation speak bland gak. They arnt' even a shadow of wat they once were, and are doing everything short of charging you to paint thier models that can be possible to suck people dry of any sort of goodwill, or open a hand to any future customers.
THIS type of writing doesn't do it any help.
