No, that was phone-speak at its worst.

Read as "spending a lot of energy on things that they shouldn't", as you guessed.

You have been tainted by association with us.

I am the equivalent of a Frontier priest who'd gone native

Ha!

Good one!

(Might get you baned by RH, but still, a good one!)

So, has the new IG codex changed what anyone is thinking about getting? I might change up some of my order, especially given the dramatic reduction in special characters available.

Well, no Marbo any more, so no more hunting for an alternate model for that one.

Then again, I was only ever really in it for Wolfenstein, so I could use her as a Space Marine Captain / Chapter Master.

Not really for me. I was always planning Iron Empire mech vet, which is still gonna happen. The heroines were just going to be various sergeants, advisors and a commisar, who are all still there. I considered wolfenstein as a potential marbo, but wasn't terrbly desperate to have him in my army.

The tank commander model will definitely see some use now though. Wasn't too bothered before. I generally like my tanks buttoned up tight.

But no, no real change for me.

Only change I'm contemplating is dropping foxy (as a marbo) for something else, other than that, no changes here either.

No changes here. My ladies are strong and awesome in their own right... and the way things are going I'm going to pull out my custom veterans and special characters and sell my Guard. Leaving me with my 11 girl Victoria squad, my TGG and and a mix of stuff I converted myself.


Another game that features Sci-Fi female infantry will come around, hell RH will put a game out eventually. With any luck it'll be...



...delicious




and at the pace they work it's not like you have to worry about a new edition fething you over.

No, but similarly they'll give us a photo of the cover and talk about how they didn't like the wording on one page redid it. Which then allowed them to go back and redo the previous 1000 pages with their new and improved writing style.

Not to mention the non- linear turn flow so you fight melee before moving.

No need to change anything really - everything will usable 'as is' in the upcoming RH game.

Right, I went back on their FB page.

After we were talking about it the other day, I (re)liked their page. You know, so I get made aware when they repost pics from months ago.

I just went back on there, and appears as if I didn't. The button says "like" not "liked".

Are they really kicking me off their list? Can they remove people that've liked their page? Or is it just (another) Facebook fart?

I swear this'll be about the fifth or sixth time that I've liked their page.

And speaking of Facebook, maybe Mathieu could have a look at their replies to a post today, and give us the gist of any useful information they may have contained?

I think you can ban people from Facebook pages, making it impossible for them to rejoin.

The page isn't like a Facebook group though, where you have to ask to join and someone has to add you.. It's just a normal page. There's nothing stopping me "liking" it again. It's just weird that it seems to keep unliking itself.

Perhaps the page has a confidence issue. I am sure after all the post-Kickstarter drama it is only at like 80% of normal.

You can ban users from a page. I don't know what the users experience is. It may be a weird continuous "unlikeing".

Raging Heroes - The Unlikening

I think we've lost taste, we're no longer delicious.

Or perhaps we're simply TOO delicious

In any case, I think it is time to retire this one.



I fear things will never be as delicious as they once were.

I don't think it should be retired. That will be a sad day.... but it's not this day.

All I can see on their main page was a guy asking about buying Blondie. He doesn't speak much English and doesn't understand the principle behind KS. Which is its own sad story. Anyhoo, RH responded by saying Blondie was financed by the community and will be "very soon" available on their online store. Backers will receive their minis before the public (that is, if you pay for wave shipping, I assume)

The farcical point in the whole exchange is that they say that "exclusively and for a very limited time" they have a Paypal option. So who knows how much money they have siphoned out of us since the end of the campaign that way.

But apparently the pledge manager will be available shortly.

An older post mentions (gah!) that they actually destroyed a whole production because they didn't quite like it enough. SO they had to redo everything. "We've redone many of the sculpts several times over."

I'm going to be sick.

On a side note, relating to the facebook unliking pages situation, that would probably to do with the much despised facebook policy that came into effect a little while ago without any announcement or advertising.

Basically from my understanding if you don't like/comment on a page every week or so it'll stop showing up in your feed, if you don't for a month or so, Facebook will unlike the page for you.

I have relatives that have business stuff over there and they are pretty up in arms about it.

Oh I'd comment. Trust me.

Gosh, I hope that kind of policy doesn't affect my business too badly. Geez, that's what the "organic reach" people have been talking about.

"Organic reach?" The hell is that? It sounds decidedly...unsavory.

Why am I not surprised?

Just been through and reworked mine a little. Nothing major though. Depends what the command infantry boxes bring in the way of special weapons if it changes more.

Why change anything?

I don't see much good coming from that, as in all honesty they do not strike me as a game design company in the slightest. If they think this is bad feedback, they may want to prepare for the inevitable storm that will arise when they start sharing rules with the community.

HA!

I was joking!
