Stores Not Stocking GW? My Take On Hypnotics vid.
After a full week of my neighbors partying with their music to max I got this short vid recorded. Its a bit rushed in nature as I was forced to record roughly at two in the morning and edit it then. Regardless it let me give a short version of my local stores own story of not stocking GW stock. Also enjoy them holidays!

The High Mobility Zaku [Late Type]!

This is one of the more fun suits even if in my opinion it lacks a bit of punch and can struggle at times. Its fast while having options to be a true pain in the butt with its smoke grenades.

The Legion Overseer! Horus Heresy!

An interesting concept for a model but, one that I feel may run into some troubles. The game can be very lethal to units within the Imperial Army & Militia so its uses may be limited. However it touches slightly on the concept of the chaplain so thats cool plus the logo on the flag is a nice call back. #horusheresy #30k #warhammer40k #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #spacemarines ...

A case of a suit with a far to long name this unit is an odd duck in terms of its place. Its reasonably agile and quick while feeling like it lacks stopping power or a focus in terms of its bite.

No Integrity, Bad Rep, and ill Will! A story of modern Corps and Corpos!
There are 2 GW Stores in Vienna, one in the middle and one on the Outskirts of Vienna. A few years ago the Stores were buzzing. This year I was there one weekend and there was not a single customer or Dudes playing Games in the Store. Most of the Guys I know buy at a reduced price from third-party Sellers or have turned their backs on GW completely. ⛄Happy Holidays from Austria☃
I had noticed this trend myself, the one GW store near me is a fair drive and not exactly in a place that most would find appealing to go for hobby things. While their profits are up I wonder if that is due strictly to higher prices, fewer players paying more for the product. Regardless thanks for sharing that, its always good to see how things are going in different places in terms of this news. Happy holidays! And thanks for posting!
Warhammer+ is not profitable, after selling out the Astartes dude for Secret Level episode, I wonder how much money-money did that Amazon licensing rights deal gave them.
We'll likely see in their up coming earnings report, I noted in their announcement of the Amazon deal they made sure to say it wouldn't effect anything for roughly a year. And what they did to the Astartes guy was dirty along with the Text to Speech series they ensured shuttered after bringing them so much attention. At this point I think only the Battletech guys, Catalyst Labs might be worse with how they treat creatives and fans. Thanks for posting Torshec! Merry Christmas.
Way too late by time Solomon happened.
Very true.
This is no Zaku- no, wait. Wait, yes it is. Carry on.
Its no Zaku guy! Its a green gelgoog!
Dude, great video. I'm a subed now
Thank you very much. Tried to cover the topic in as even a manner as I could.
Great video. Thank u, good sir
It doesn't look like a new Gundam.
Dang it, heh.
I frankly can’t wait to see Guilliwoman tell the God-Emperor to check his privilege and to finally defeat AbaDonald with the power of diversity and inclusion.
You have won the internet with that comment! It has just the right amount of humor which touches on things that I wouldn't put past GW... I hope to see more such posts in the future. It really brightened my day!

Very much so. I do like the style they went with this one.
The character of Titus is becoming too much for me at this point. It feels too me like GW are shoving him down our throats. Look here's Titus his such a badass. New TV show look here's Titus his such a blue berry badass. RUclips is over run by his shear blue badass. It's like everywhere I go, I hear your name. Because he's such a badass.
Its an odd thing, I like Titus in the first game however I wasn't super fond of him in the later game and it does feel like they're latching onto that new found success. GW is going to do what they did with the Ultramarines.. force em down our throats. Sadly I just don't think any character that gets popular with GW around won't be ruined for their marketing pushes.
Uriel Ventris please.
@@GruntoSkunko I recall seeing Ventris model kicking around a local store. A few of them in fact for years and I only recall the character from an older book.
I'm not really interested in Amazon's shows.
Glad I'm not the only one.
GeeDubs and Amazon, match made in hell. Chaos and the Tyranids, whoever wins we all lose.
The necrons slowly smile.
My expectations are that no legitimate care will be taken with this project. Amazon Studios is staffed by biased f_cking weirdos and GW are entirely too interested in pushing nonsense politics and DEI notions. I haven't forgotten that 'We don't need you' BS the company spit out at their customers not that long ago.
Yeeeah.
The induction process of making a custodian would destroy a female body. Nevermind the training.
Zaku....the sequel!
Zaku III!
From what I'm aware of, suits like the GM and Zaku II get adjusted stat boosts exclusively for the situation matches, such as being able to dodge and melee swing twice. Were as in normal quick/rated matches neither have such boosted stats.
Thank you very much! I wasn't aware of that so I got very confused during that battle.
Ah yes, the Zaku II. Still a classic design and one of the most visually distinctive in the series.
Nice vid enjoyed it. Don't know what is everyone's problem with your take on it. Especially since you didn't make it a 2 hour sit through 😂. Space Marines are a scarce resource, if they are sent to purge a world by hand, then them planet has screwd up big time. Though the Imperium is not by far the best, at this point in 40k history it is all humanity has, because 70% of rebellions lead to Choas, and 25% lead to Tyranids. And none of them is a options. All this Adam vid learn me is how much GW spoild the setting by making the P Marines. That's a nother story, If anyone wants to hear why, just ask me. (I am a die hard elf fan everywhere) So my Second point: Eldar. 5:22 Not Pay the cost for it, WHAT?!! How dare you!! How is losing 99% of your civilisation in a moment, and losing the ability for your soul to be reborn, not paying the price of it???? Qumaans sure have justified reasons to dislike Eldar, but saying that The Eldar are not suffering the consequences of there forbears deeds, is a slight the Craftworld's won't forgive. 😡😡😤👹
Its likely to a degree many people feel a great deal of passion for their hobby. Some likely are just there to push politics and others its just how they see things. The Primaris I believe strongly were a massive mistake and one which GW used to leverage making even more marines without a hint of self control. Now I much rather have the in universe talk, I like the Elder don't get me wrong. My greater point was all the groups within 40k are acting within their own interests. The Elder in effect are suffering from the sins of the father kind of story. Honestly without their tragic past and struggles on how to overcome it they'd just be boring elves. Plus I can't stand the fact the Primaris are really just Imperium Aspect warriors. At the very least the Elder line has been revisited.. in the slowest way GW could do so. Thanks so much for the comment! Stay Crafty!
Nobody cares about your toy soldiers mate
And Hasbro didn't employ the Pinkertons over cards, oh wait, they did. Have a lovely day.
Man can't i just enjoy geeky stuff without it becoming a political social controversy for 5 minutes
That would be ideal.
TL;DR the Custodes are a brotherhood and certain people injected women into it because "muh diversity" (And they ignoring the fact that custodes are regularly acompanied by sisters of silence)
GW ignores the Sisters of SIlence enough but.. man they don't get the attention they should get.
the reason they made femstodes is why im going to collect the army. Im collecting tyranids mostly, but also DG, CSM and some eldar and I've never planned to collect SM or Custodes coz I don't like men. I just don't like other men and idea of guys only army sounds bad for me. Death Guard are not guys anymore, just bloated cronenbergs, CSM are also mutaded abominations but I like the general esthetic of normal SM and Custodes and how large the models are, but the idea of sausage party makes me wanna 🤮 I just really don't like guys
" I just really don't like guys" That is too bad, because men have always built and maintained, for the most part everything. At least the real men. You don't have to think about their sausages. Men are very important. Especially the ones that roll up their sleeves and do the hard work.
Thank you for the analysis! So it was basically a politically motivated move by some progressive within GW who wanted to see a female custode. Irreversibly damaging continuity in the lore of 40k.
It does appear very much a political move, as they hadn't made much in product. One could also assume it was to appease Amazon or one of their big investors. By all rights its something that wasn't needed for pretty much any reason. And you have to remember GW presents itself as a models company. Judging them by this standard they have produced not one model let alone a single head. Thus we have to assume its political, since we're talking one of only two male only factions in 40k at this point.
Wow, what a sad thing to get upset over
What a sad thing to cause controversy over in the first place
Female Astartes first were mentioned in late 87, early 88 Challenge Magazine by GDW (Game Design Workshop) Sunstroke Scenario. Little Sisters of Purification. Things have always changed in 40K. Or should I bring up the half Eldar, half Human Ultramarine Librarian Illiyan Nastase?
>female astartes now because of power armored women then. this argument assumes A: that the little sisters were a 1:1 with the space marines in that world, which they werent. and B: that the general setting of 40k was actually fully fleshed out as a complete fictional universe then, which- again, it wasnt. to argue that those pieces of lore should be justification to change a universe that has now been well established for so long that its older than a generation or two is absurd. moreover, you'll notice how each of those changes in the lore to our current paradigm were not "just cuz lol". they were made to make the lore more believable, its more believable to have your genetically modified space marines to be made for only one sex based on the genetic augment's limitations. its also more believable to not be able to interbreed with a literal space alien who shares 0% of your biology, or even your physiology. female custodians is neither of those things, they didnt do it to actually make the world more intriguing, and they didnt do it because they wanted their lore to make sense withing the universe's context. they did it to placate a group, whether that be amazon or the specter of the "modern audience" who apparently just showed up in the late 2000's for no real reason
@ Buddy. They literally say, and I quote: “The Sisters are one of several female Chapters of Imperial Space Marines.” Additionally, I will remind you. GW doesn’t tend to Retcon lore unless they come out and say it is retconned. You aren’t familiar with the early lore, and that’s okay.
@@KrasseOdaVonBayern funny how you ignored the rest of my argument (that i expressly covered by saying that the setting of early lore and more modern lore is different and has completely different standards of what an actual space marine is from point B) to come off like an arrogant snide snake instead. but i'll ignore that to address your second point. no, they retcon things all the time. the argument that they dont quietly retcon things in favor of other things is also just patently false. the "muh unreliable narrator" was a cope GW themselves made post hoc after their writers made several blunders with extreme contradictions in their lore, i should know. i was there. bottom line: imperial space marines from rogue trader do not equal space marines from warhammer 40,000. and lore since as far back as third edition or further have been very consistent on this lore. youre being frivolous with your definitions. i can play that game too! in the lore for the custodians they *literally say* : "potential custodians are taken in at a very young age to better survive, no older than late infancy - and it is a great honor for those of Terran noble houses to submit a *son*. until people actually made a stink about it, this was a quiet retcon too. so they DO make quiet retcons all the time- and then later cope giving either doubling down, or using the unreliable narrator excuse when they get caught. retcons arent non-retcons until they publicly have to admit it is one, thats not how that works.
GAL IS A BALDY!!!
Its gotta get its baldy one!
They just can't make their own thing and insert themselves into the stuff we love huh? Truly pathetic of them
How many variants has the Galbaldy had in this game...?
Of the Beta? It was developed into the GAZ L & R with the High Mobility as a variant. There is also a 'next gen' rebuild of it that I'm not sure is offical yet. Design wise the Galbaldy has a long tail in terms of its effects though the Alpha was largely retrofited into the Beta.
I mean you can see in the story big E was min/maxing. Its not hard to explain.
It was just stupid , there was no reason for it, Warhammer 40k is already very diverse and there were already very cool all female factions that are bad ass. It's not like people were demanding that it happen. Like you said in the video they missed out on the opportunity to do something special with female custodes instead of just a female in golden armor. They could have made female custodes pyskers and had them be the librarians for the custodes or something . It would be better than the stupid answers GW gave us
Its frustrating. There was little reason for it and they didn't even invest any effort into the matter. I fear the Sisters of Silence will now simply fade away slowly with nothing further done with them. Thanks for commenting!
@mrnobodypresents1349 if they do away with the Sisters of Silence then they better say goodbye to the emperor and the golden throne because don't the silent sisters collect the pyskers to power the throne, now normally I would call that the best job security there is but since this could possibly be but since the explanation for the femstodes is that they have always been around, just took us almost 50yrs to notice
@@bleekskaduwee6762 Pretty much. I mean more the model range kind of slowly slipping away.
I very much dislike the reliance on resin to this day, still don't buy Forge World due to the exorbitant price gouge factor... However, I do still have to say that I'm somewhat impressed by the effort put into this. Also, Iron Hands, holy sh_t. That in itself is unexpected.
Its a very nice design.
@@mrnobodypresents1349 It's slightly too busy, too cartoony, especially the Cyber familiar, and Mechamendarkes(?). Still, like all Iron Hands kits, it will come for one thing: bits harvesting, if nothing else.
@@rutgaurxi7314 It does look like a good base for kit bashing. For some reason I fancy the helmet but, I'm just glad Iron Hand players got something.
Forgot to hit that comment button and I forgot what I had to say, but oh boy, did this bring out Adam "I Do Not Believe In" Something's "spectacular society of somebodies" to Mr Nobody's video to talk about Warhammer and Fascism, from illustrious supporters of his videos on how "Controlling Social Media For the Greater via Pre-Elon Musk Buyout of Twitter" was a good thing, and how the "EU Ministry on Misinformation" is a good strategy to counter "Russian Propaganda", and how Orban Bad, Globalism Good. To tell us all on what Warhammer is and isn't, and totally didn't act like some wiki-reading tourist who lifted gameplay footage, no siree.
Wow, thanks for commenting Torshec!
IRON WITHIN! BUY-RON WITHOUT!
Now I like how they did that, bravo!
i made a large long counter argument to the pro-femstodian ideologues when the femstodes debacle first started, i'll leave it here for you and others to take a look at. its a long wall of text so read at your leisure. i find it covers points others dont really bring up, both from an in world and meta angle 1. (within the narative context): all male custodians existed, continue to exist, and shall exist in perpetuity for very good reasons regarding their story on its own. their lore was meant to exist in an ecosystem sharing space with sisters of silence, one of the important facets of that "narrative ecosystem" being one group is all male, and the other all female- serving as an accent, as well as putting in a very significant symbolic emphasis on the juxtaposition they keep between each other, the symbolism being much like the biblical Adam and Eve where these perfect or near perfect things were designed or introduced specifically to complement one another. adding females to the male side of this relationship completely erases and undoes that symbolic symbiosis. 2. (narrative intention): the custodians were started as an implicitly and semi explicitly all male because it is well understood that warrior masculine virtues at their peak require men as a non-negotiable component of that praxis. the custodians (as well as space marines) are meant to embody specific masculine warrior-virtues, and adding a woman to it intuitively and inherently removes those connotations. to be a man above men, its obvious you have to first be a man, anybody who says otherwise is a fool or is lying for nefarious reasons. 3. (sanctity of portrayal): it is perfectly reasonable, dare i say even good to want something that was made with a very clear implicit intention to stay the way it is, especially over something as fundamental as identity of a group, which- even as many liberals say when in their own circles: matter a lot. so frankly, its entirely reasonable to wish to preserve a particular identity even if its within fiction like in the first two points i made. The identity of the sisters of battle as well as sisters of silence are based on them being women, and that identity is protected. its stupid to look at their counterparts and to claim that their identity doesn't matter when the roles are reversed. the double standard speaks to a sinister agenda. and nobody should stand for it. Based on these three points, this is the bottom line. No, no, a thousand times no: female custodians should not be made canon. they have had years of very clear, consistent, and overt legacy of being all male for a good reason. and it is the objectively correct take to oppose the idea of female custodians. No- this take has nothing to do with female players, thats a total copout. female players and females in fiction are just on its face two different things, and if one brings up female players as a citation to make more females in very clearly all male groups within a fictional story that person essentially reported themselves as the sinister mind. conflating the two for whatever agenda or worldview they might have.
Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, youtube wasn't showing it for some reason! Thanks for adding those to this, I was trying to be as even handed as I could manage for anyone who didn't know what the arguement was about or the reasons for it. Also thanks for taking the time to post that up, its rather thoughtful and I enjoyed reading it. Mind if I pin your comment?
@@mrnobodypresents1349 absolutely, go for it.
@@rogaldornthefortified6404 Thank you kindly and again thanks for posting the comment.
Another in-lore reason would be that Astartes were made all-male to be dependent on Imperium for new recruits.
@@Ally5141 You could say that, there would be reasons for it. In real world standards its why testing is often done on both men & women. Due to chemistry and biological differences similiar things can have different outcomes. Lore wise its just unwise to tinker with what works. Besides if GW didn't any research they might find a few things out. For example from my experience the lizardmen are very popular with the ladies. Regardless thanks for comment!
One of my favorite mobile suit designs (unfortunately) connected to the Earth Federation.
Its got a really complex development history, maybe I should do a video on that.
@@mrnobodypresents1349 Not a terrible idea.
It looks so fucking epic bro. Finally something for iron warriors. That hammer looks dope. It's a graviton crusher IIRC not a regular hammer, hence why it looks so steampunk-ey. Can't wait to paint it.
Heh, glad to see the hype! Getting it right off or a gift?
There is no fucking way you said "politics bad in media" 30 seconds in LMFAO. I knew exactly what bullshit you were going say next.
Am... Are you drunk? Edit(sorry i read some comments and you are giving good answers to others people, i didn't want to be mean) As an adam something fan ill say that you didn't realise the premise of the video... I mean like if you don't think that the things said in a video are true why engage with it? And also the adam something isn't a tourist, he plays tabletop as Tau and sometimes mentions the Warhammer in other videos.
I'm sorry it took me so long to get a response out to you! Trying to make sure I give thoughtful responses and weighted respectful explanations. To answer your one question I had a sever cold at the time of recording so I likely sounded pretty bad. Again I got no beef with Adam, from everything I've heard he does good work. And have stated several times he has a great deal of talent. So its possiable that I played into it wrong however I've been around a long time and see lots of people villianized for disagreements so I got heated there. Regardless thank you for the comment! Though many have been rough I have enjoyed interacting with folks. Sadly the vid I thought was a throw away while I was sick picks up.. not any of the ones I talk about the customers. Still have a great day!
Adam's video was disingenuous in some ways and overall pretty bad, but this is just worse. Though you put a disclaimer at the start that the video is going to be mostly venting, this comes off as a series of gut reactions without any coherent thought behind it. Saying Verhoeven didn't know what he was doing just because the movie intentionally has a point of view near-diametrically opposed to that of the book is silly. What's sillier is saying politics in art are the "death of creativity", when a majority of art is political. Both book and movie are political and neither are bad or "uncreative" because of it. I encourage you to fix your audio (ie. audible breathing) moving forward.
Up front, I like Paul's movies least a selection of them so I don't hold any issue with him. Its said to be satire yet misses that mark consistantly. He could have done a better job, however would it have been as fun a watch who knows. I'd argue a great deal of art is just art that has had politics over laid it. People have a knack to see patterns and at times politics are there. Regardless have a great day.
"I despise Real World Politics in Entertainment. It's the Death of Creativity in of itself." This statement demonstrates a profound lack of understanding of the nature of fiction and politics. Fiction has always been political. The Epic of Gilgamesh has a political angle of The City vs the Wild Countryside. Aristophanes in Ancient Athens wrote plays in which he denounced specific Athenian Politicians and Policies. Legends and Folklore often served the role of spreading the values of a culture to the next generation. Figures from Charles Dickens (too many count, but A Christmas Carol is an overt call against the callous attitudes common in Capitalists) to HG Wells (War of the Worlds: what if a more technologically advanced civilization came to earth and do what Victorian Britain does to less technologically advanced societies) to Mel Brooks (there's a neat divided between pre and post Blazing Saddles westerns, a satire which brought the often overlooked Racial elements of the Wild West period front and center) wrote works of fiction which were clearly and overtly political. And beyond that, even fiction which is not overtly political is written by people who are the products of their environment. An easy way to establish a faction is bad is to model them in varying degrees of overtness after Germany under the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. Or you could say that they practice Slavery, but the Confederate States of America would object to the notion that Slavery was bad. Lots of stories involve wars and as Clausewitz said War is Politics by Other Means. Going out of your way to avoid any sense of real life politics in a story is doomed to fail. First of all, because you are cutting out a large section of the human experience. But beyond that, by attempting to avoid political matters all the time you are making one of several political message (the wrong-headed but honest one is "political discourse is inherently unpleasant and should be avoided to avoid conflict" but inaction is still a political choice, and likely it's the less honest one of "I want to shut down X stance, but with a thin veneer of deniability"). Politics is Human interaction on a macro scale. Fiction is a matter of human interaction, at the very least between author and the audience. All Fiction is Political.
That is indeed a heck of a post, so first off thanks for commenting. Now to clear up my point, modern politics often age settings like milk. This was the same in the 80s & 90s when the religious folk did this. Many of those arguements are the same as those being used now. One might desire to see politics they want now in stories, only to shift years later. Often politics are used as a way to beat others over the head or exclude them altogether. My concern is moving away from the settings internal politics will only have to do with excluding. To some degree we cannot escape what people might see in something political or otherwise. I hope that explained it better, and have a wonderful day.
@@mrnobodypresents1349 Dude, many works of fiction have thrived because they were overtly political. Captain America, the Twilight Zone, many episodes of Star Trek, etc. You can't say that political commentary or allegory ruins fiction. Warhammer 40,000 was a product of it's time, emerging from the frustrations of Britain in the 1980s with Thatcherism.
@@ImperatorZor I can say it and argue that many of those are seen. Though I think Star Trek was often reframing such element, not a trek guy myself. The thing is one cannot control or force what the human mind sees in anything. Honestly, out of respect I'll close things up with this so pardon if it comes across as rough... Here goes, out of respect I don't think we're swaying one another of anything. We are talking past one another and likely in both cases mean well. I really don't want to misuse your time in a spiraling arguement. Rather my wish is you have a wonderful day, if you never come across me that your life is a productive one! Thank you for taking the time to engage, its been a pleasure.
