Looks just as good painted too. Really like it.

Edit: it is a shame the Legion Dispatch this month is used on something we knew about though.

It's pretty laughable that on the one hand, they market their forgeworld stuff as premium at the same time as demonising 3D printing in The Hobby™, yet when you pay the exorbitant prices they charge for their resin casts, you still end up with 3D printing artifacts.

Even more laughable is the people on Instagram buying into the narrative from GW about the quality of 3D prints while willfully ignoring that noted above.

I was more thinking their mention of 'Age of Darkness' which we've heard bandied around a lot for the new HH set.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?





Affton, MO. USA

Here is a home printed helmet for comparison. I made these this week on my Photon Mono (less than $200, $335 for the machine ashing/curing machine and 1KG of resin)

These are with the factory settings and no adjustment to the file I paid ($1.77 for ), though there are some free ones that are very similar.

This had to have been a test sample before they printed a nicer quality just to test actual physical size and stability.....or something, either that or a print from a 3d scan of the original. That's the only way I could see these getting out with them being this bad.

The FW helmet is very glossy and shot under a bright light which makes the lines very visible, whereas the next set of helmets are a much more matt finish and under a less bright light, so hard to compare.

On saying that though, my Warbringer Titan certainly had slightly visible lines on some of the armour panels, Warlord titan was absolutely fine, so they certainly do let some of these issues slip through.

And before you respond with "metas are in every game" yes, they are. And if you come across them in 30K you are playing against an outlier, or in other words, an ***hat.

I'm still tired of this "Three ways to play!" marketing spiel that ends up wasting page count and attention span. Playing a narrative campaign was already easily bolted onto the core rules, and nobody needs permission to be lackadaisical and eyeball their games instead of using points which is ultimately all "open" is.

That's not really working for them in my case. I can wait for years until a product is out - Even now, I've held off all my Space Marine purchases until the new HH box is released. It ends up costing GW around a 100$ month, so a drop in an ocean though

Yup, and I think it actively harms things.
Want to set up a cool narrative scenario whilst using Matched Play balance rules? Nope, rules are rules! It's narrative so I'm going to spam <OP strat> at you!

Did they? I seem to recall them not being particularly trustworthy. They just seemed to collate any rumours that were floating around.

Ah OK, that's interesting. It's a bit less far-reaching/wish-list sounding than the last comments that were taken from Reddit, so was thinking it might be a bit more plausible!

I am completely out of the loop on GW/40k rumours so no idea who is trustworthy or not! Going back a decade or so it was "Polish guy at the printers who had sneaked a White Dwarf into the toilets and taken a blurred photo with a crap camera phone" as the only news source, back when GW was sewn up tighter than a Nun's unmentionables (not sure if it's still the same these days!)

Gotta create a market for all those jacked up high margin products like game cards and so on.

I think GW is actively trying to kill my connection to any of their brands.

I am NOT buying additional Field Manuals just so I can get the points values for my 30k armies and then have them change in 6 months when the next FAQ comes out. GW can GTFO with that nonsense.

I don't buy the source or the content. But that's the kind of thing that probably would grow the 30K player base. The current course is slow death. A new Betrayal at Calth-type set alone isn't going to change that.

30k generally grows as 40k for people who are tired of GW's gak.
Wedding it to GW's gak seems to contradict the point.

Yes I know that's an appeal to a lot of people that play 30k - much more stable ruleset, not having to buy new army books or having your army invalidated or made useless a year after you've spent £hundreds on it.

But - that's contrary to the GW business model and money tree of constant rule and army book cycle, so from GW's perspective you can see why they would want to pull 30k into that same cycle.

This is the reason Oldhammer and previous editions have exploded in popularity over recent years I think. You've got that edition, the army books, the miniatures, no-one is going to depth charge them and make the army ineffective or illegal all of a sudden.
