Look how fan loyalty is good will for battletech, before the woke NPCs invaded
Ah yes, Asmogan, the quiet brother of Asmongold. I demand a collab.
That's a sub
Can someone make comics with the femstodes in the Background, while cleaning or in the Kitchen?😂😂😂

The fact that an entire recast and 3D-printed army fooled an entire photography team at GW in *2015* just shows how it would be impossible to distinguish the real from the fake today
And it is in most cases. My mostly recast army plays at a GW store for years and the store managers and other players cannot tell. I do have some authentic pieces as well and they're not distinguishable. It's sad how much Forge World charges and they cannot provide a product that's less jacked up than a recast product.
Or they just didn't care to ask. If it looks good in the magazine it would inspire people to buy more product. So GW wins either way.
I was the owner of a guard army that was almost 90% recasts.
You couldn't tell until you picked up what should have been a white metal guardsman and realised it was actually resin.
I played several official GW tournaments without detention apart from one very old school gw staff guy who picked up a guardsman from my dead pile, the look of suprise on his face was priceless, he just closely examined the model, complimented me on the paint job and put my guy down and walked off laughing to himself and never said a word..
Haha cool official
GW fucking up...I'm shocked Shocked!! Well maybe not that shocked
I'd have to get 50% off a GW product to even consider it. Cost of patrols and HQs now just make me sick. GW created all their problems; large and small on their own. They created recasting, they create more and more 3D print hobbyists every single day. They created the demand, and they created their own vitriol against the actual fan base. They set the pricing, they want a rotational live service, they want fewer customers, and they want to sell fewer products at as high a cost they can manage to as few consumers as possible. I better buy some popcorn futures for the next ten years.
And with a cost of living crisis in Australia their BS price gouging certainly doesn't help.
Seen stuff here for 3 times what it is in the US or UK.
As a famous Italian chef once said: If my grandma had wheels she would be a bike.
Keep the ham away
I second keeping the ham away!!
what the hell is a "british" carbonara anyway?
@@daskraut it's like an Italian one but with Crème fraîche instead of egg. Tastes like a peppery mac n cheese.
@@Calrissian360 I live here in Britain and I have never heard of it! It wouldn’t surprise me if it was invented somewhere else to make it seem exotic. I mean we already HAVE British food, we eat other foods because it’s different!
Remember when White Dwarf teach you how to make escenography with garbage?
You mean the same time when White Dwarf would sometimes release rules for niche armies, battle reports, Golden Demon winners, and other hobby related stuff to get you interested in something other then "get excited new product!"
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
deodorant stick tanks. I built my first wave serpent from one of those articles.
@@ltGargoyleYessssss the "build-a-custom-tank" rules! I think I still have that particular issue.
yeah too bad a fun and healthy game gets in the way of their money...
@@mrbigglezworth42wait they don't do battle reports anymore? I haven't read WD in a while but I used to love those.
I collect Death Guard. I have been wanting Cultists with gasmask type heads to match my industrial theme. My initial plan was to use Death Corpse or Steel Legion but no box sets. Then Solar Auxiliary was announced. Perfect! Those helmets look close enough to gasmask to work… then the controversy happened… I have found on Cults3D the Blackwater Brotherhood Cultists that match my army even better and have a friend that will print them for a third less. My days of supporting GW are over
Does GW not realise that people have enough books, lore and 3D resources to print their models to cut them out of their own business completely? We got the rules and we got the models and we got the lore. What does GW even bring to the table beyond outrageous retcons?
They used to bring legitimacy and infrastructure.
We as fans need to find 1 ruleset to base our counter-culture around, just like Pathfinder 1 is DnD 3.5 with a new hat.
Many mention Warhammer 3rd Edition, but they may need extended rules to fit in the new stuff.
@somederp8915 one page rules is the answer.
@@somederp8915 With a bit of shit got done, we can cut GW away and leave them Disney up happily as wel just chill and make our tournaments wherever we want, how we want it and how we want it, no limitations, all allowed
At this point they are a brand name and that is it.
And you can count on them courting the mythical "Modern Audience" like the dumbos in Hollywoke
I remember like 15 years ago talking to my friends about the potential for 3D printing in tabletop. I'm glad it's at a point where it's way more affordable for the same or better quality
Femstodes would be a fundamental violation of the Emperor's refusal to make a breeding population of transhumans. He doesn't want humanity replaced with warbreed superhumans.
At the risk of being devoured by the denizens that inhabit the youtube comment section, I thought war was just a consideration in their creation, and that they were philosophers and scholars foremost?
@@desertmammoth3159This is true, as far as I understood it as well. War was just one aspect.
Adding a _Female Custodes_ is as stupid as doing an odd/sudden gender and race swap for *Donald Duck* instead of introducing an intriguing story that would include new characters that the readers would actually become fans of.
If there has to be certain characters added to “prove some odd point” then why not add them in so utterly brilliantly that they'll have a backstory so awesome that people that would otherwise be against them would actually be in their defence?
@@desertmammoth3159 the issue still stands. A transhuman breeding population (and custodes are functionally immortal 8-foot tall demigods that make space marines look like chimpanzees next to gorillas) is fundamentally against Big E's objectives and behaviors.
I can't believe I forgot about that. Yet another good argument for no femstodes
@@deejayxcrypt I personally have no problem with the idea, even with GW's tweet, its the reason behind it I dislike. Its disingenuous and they're changing things to suit what's hip in 2024; there is no narrative or creative drive that has spawned this change and others like it, it is purely a business decision.
Personally I've taken the decision to erase all current lore from my mind. I am an isolated hobbyist so there's only me to dictate what 40K is, and so with that in mind I'm taking things back to 2nd edition, back to the dark age of GW Wholesomeness.
I was a die hard 40K fan. Started with the hobby 24 years ago and absolutely loved it. I had enough time to kill at the doctors and in the hospital due to my health and 40k was always there, the perfect distraction. GW already screwed up enough back then, but at least with the design team you still had the feeling that hobbyists were writing for hobbyists and were really making an effort.
Andy Chambers, Alessio Cavatore, Paul Sawyer, even good old Gav and many more. I would never have thought of getting 3D printed minis or Recast. I even bought all the codices, regardless of whether I already had them as a .pdf. But since the 8th edition and now at the latest, GW can kiss my arse. It's not the 40K it used to be, the rules are largely rubbish and some of the background is infinitely badly written. I have dozens of armies and no real desire to play it at the moment. The only thing that still really excites me is 30K. Fortunately, the books are now finished. GW should just leave it alone and not change any more of the fluff there and not tarnish Alan Bligh legacy. Here, too, I will try to only use recasts.
Long story short, fuck GW and what they did to 40K.
Signed, an old fan.
I'm wondering if the 30k lore even stands now. I'm still reading The End and The Death pt3, and apparently, it's wrong because there were no femstodes, and there's no set lore. So what have I been reading all these years?
@@peterc3262 For me, there are no female Custodes. So no problem reading the 30K books :).
Don't question Product, just consume Product, and get excited for next Product!
this is what GW's hopes and dreams are built off of.
@danielfenton9742
GW - "Buy a new army every calendar and with every codex. You don't want the hobby to go away do you?"
@@TheMaleRei Gaslighting. GW special skill.
Games Workshop was over when Sawyer, Chambers, Priestley, and Cavatore left. It took years to bring down the foundation they laid, but thats where we are now.
I took some Ork Kommandos that had been recast into a GW store years ago, and nobody said anything. This was back when they were long term out of stock on the webstore, so I just got them cheaper online.
That's what appealed to me with BattleTech so long ago. Anything was allowed to be a 'Mech. 3D Print? That's a MadCat. Some kid's inhaler? That's an Atlas. Some scrap of paper with "Urbie" written on it? That's our favourite trash can. And, my favourite, a flat stone with some sticks glued on it? That's a King Crab, baby!
Remember, there are always older versions. You can also just ignore any lore that the "modern sensibilities" try and shove down our throats. GW and Catalyst, literally, can not stop us from playing the versions we want, while ignoring their WiFi Password bullcrap.
Heck as a kid I use to draw the mechs based on the Mech2 video game mechlab.
sure they were flat bits of paper, but by god did that Mad Dog, Summoner and Timberwolf look good for a crappy drawing 10yo like myself.
I dont want to hear any GW simp saying how recasts and 3d printing doesnt hold a candle to the real minis after this.
They are cultists, they Will.
You'll hear no end of that bullshit in the 40k subreddit.
I took my Custodes to a tournament in early 2023 where the only genuine GW kit was Trajann and 7 bikes, everything else was Forgery World and nobody noticed.
Once you paint everything up, it's impossible to tell unless there's an obvious defect.
When you start buying recasts or 3d printing your models, you realize very quickly how much advantage GW takes of their customers. It's finanical rape.
Not really, not when you're willingly handing your money over
only encourages me to print more because not even the company themself can tell the difference. also which white dwarf is that i wanna nab that secondhand :P
and in context, this is from a guy who's followed the setting for 15 years... i was a HUGE ork fan
but admittedly, GW almost got me to buy their votann on launch.... but i didn't because of troubles, and stoppedm yself permenantly because of balance problems
at the start of this year however, i was able to start with a newly opened FLGS, a secondhand 9nth edition codex for Votann, army painter tools, valejo paints, and some more boxes... NOTHING OF WHICH i nabbed directly from gw... because i knew that their prices were bs
December 2015. Visions
I find it funny they couldn't tell, they didn't even know the appearance of their own models. Fun fact, just watched this whole video from my computer instead of one of my mobile devices. Definitely a sureal experience for me because it's been nearly 6 years since I watched a newly uploaded video on a computer. . . I like it.
This has been a long time coming, finally some justice for Emperor TTS. o7
GW broke before the Hobby did. Bravo good sir, bravo.
I have played my mostly 3d printed ultramarines at my local WH store alot. Never once has anyone ever questioned my minis..
GW can keep their egs score, ill keep my money.
honestly, even the possibility of this ones guys army being recasts is just cathartic to me. thats hilarious. screw GW and while id never be this gutsy, I can't blame a soul for doing this.
the number of people lying in some comments about what you pointed out from RT literally listed as female warriors and calling them fem space marines and being openly subversive about femstodes and lore is ridiculous
congrats asmo
the sigmarxists are absolutely running rampant on the comments on your channel now
youve made it sir
youve gained the eye and ire of the hobby squatters and they are gunna start calling u the second coming of arch cast at this rate
a true badge of honor
The funny part, to me, about 3D printing vs molding is that molding will always be cheaper. The initial investment of the mold might be a lot higher, but the materials are comparable to UV resin. The biggest difference there is speed. A mold can churn out significantly more models per hour than any resin printer I've seen, which means the costs of running the mold are lower and the mold will last longer than a 3D printer, because it's significantly easier to replace components and do upkeep on the mold.
But GW has chosen to charge $65 for maybe $.50 of plastic and cardboard. The ink on the box is the most expensive part of the kit.
For an individual, it's cheaper to buy a 3D printer, buy the STL's for your army, run off your army, and throw the printer away.
As far as recasts, a lot of the places that you buy them from, you're actually getting better quality from them for the most part, because they want you to keep giving them money. In fact, for the most part, they're not recasts. Those are actual molds they were commissioned to make, but instead of just making the one like they were supposed to, they made a few of them, so they could do their own thing on the side.
And I don't blame them one bit. In fact my Horus Heresy army is all recast and 3D printed. What do I care? I don't go to events or play in their stupid tournaments.
i think gamza caught GW a couple month back 3d printing models for some magazine or codex i cant remember what it was
I think I'll stay in,, and do itc tournaments, but just use recast/3d printed armies. just to flex on consumers.
Even painting all that must have taken ages. In just free time alone, even if you got the models printed yourself and got the cheapest paint you can. Haha GW must have thought they got a new car or two out of this fellow.
GW have had a bad track record if telling there stuff apart from 3d prints. A few years back they added a feature ti the website that showed examples of the model you were looking at from Instagram. GW would comment on a post asking for permission to show your image on their site. The feature got pulled when obvious 3D prints were being spotted on their own website and used to mock GW online.
I salute you Roland Underwood. Well played sir. Keep up the good fight 🫡
once you paint them, they cannot tell.
The sad part is, they could’ve found a way to make the Female Custodes work in a more lore friendly way without trying to gaslight the community.
What they could’ve done (that would still probably have not been received well) was hit us with:
“In the ashes of Terra at the end of the Horus Heresy, the once noble 10,000 of the Emperor’s body guards were reduced to mere hundreds. Desperate to replenish their numbers, they took to the stars, and in the shadow of the Scouring, they found candidates amongst the sons and daughters of mankind that could ascended to demi-godhood.”
Still not perfect, but INFINITELY better than trying to tell us “they’ve always existed since the beginning.”
Or as someone suggested, make them Watchers, that way you can have an in universe reason for their need, an Alpha+ psyker female, whose powers only work on men.
Perfect in universe reasoning for female Custodes being made.
Its the Horus Patriarchy.
13:11 the bit I find funniest is the shear number of GW eyes that will have looked at that army and not spotted a thing wrong, how? How did not one person go wait this model looks suspicious or posable we don't even make that model😅
GW is 3 pillars
-rules
-minis
-lore
It is becoming clear two of those 3 are beyond them and the warhammer store experience is shit. Its like going to the apple store now
I know for a fact there was a Forge World painter that did WH40K army painting to showcase in White Dwarf and he used Vallejo and Scale 76 paints lolz He also said that they paid really low wages.
Guy was like "Dear GW, i 3D printed your whole army - and you gonna prise me for it, in yours magazine!"
"Oh we gonna gaslight you that Fantasy sells bad - to inforce you buy new table top AoS game"
"Oh we gonna gaslight you that AoS sells bad - to inforce you to buy new table top Old World game"
rince and repeat "Out of Stock" ... "oh we found rare fresh piece for 300$", "Sorry Stormcast Eternal and Beastmen must retire, buy new stuf"
GW know we do not need their models anymore, that is why they are branching out to movies and tv series.
All I will say is , GW , you will not be missed .
Just curious though how does one tell if a model is official or a recast ? Especially when its painted...
That’s the fun part. You can’t unless the owner tells you.
Recast are usually Higher Quality.
It can be near impossible
Usually Recasts and especially 3D prints are higher in detail and more dynamic. Unless the artist intentionally tones down the quality to match GW's. At that point, you'd have to do a side-by-side to the official models to tell which the white dwarf mag writers would have ABUNDANT access to XD
Bases arent GW plastic
I brought great resin 3rd party warp spiders to one of their tournaments. Everyone thought it was a really good conversion lol. Also, i used a recaster avatar for like 10 years and no one wver caught it
Y'know, Mike had a great point. It really feels great to see all your cherished franchises turn to sheeet! Watching stocks fall and the pushback against this nonsense. Schadenfreude! Plus its free! I don't have to waste a single dime! Now the problem comes with money circulation. I have saved a tremendous amount of cash just staying away from modern AAA videogames and now my bank account is bigger than it ever was!
Dude really said "Saying that there has always been Female Custodes will destroy the entire game. Anyway heres how I would Age of Sigmar 40k just to justify the minorist of changes"
Not to mention Marines/Custodes are normal humans with a bunch of implanted organs and hormone treatments. Surgical implants dont transfer to offspring. Either Custodes are infertile and cant breed whether there are female ones or not, or they are fertile and can breed with normal humans and will produce....normal humans.
Both are genetically modified, Space Marines are modified as young adults and Custodes are modified from birth. With Space Marines, the gene seed has some flaws which led them to inherit traits from the respective primarch source. With Custodes, the process used the Emporers gene-seed and was said to be flawless. Space Marines = very long lived but not functionally immortal. Custodes and Primarchs = functionally immortal.
@@rpscorp9457 Primarchs were created exclusively through genetic manipulation. Their very DNA would have been hand crafted to create the genes used in them. They could in theory reproduce to create more Primarchs. Marines however are not, they simply have genetics implanted into them to help encourage the growth and acceptance of their new organs. Anytime you implant an organ into a human youre implanting genetics into them, but those implanted genetics wont be passed on. In order for a Marine to be able to produce more Marines his sperm production would have had to be modified specifically, and if the Emperor didnt want them to reproduce he wouldnt have done that.
The creation of a Custodes is completely unknown. Its known that the Emperor personally hand crafted the first 10,000, but beyond that its unlikely the Imperium can duplicate his results and so its likely very similar to how Marines are created. In either case its the same deal, if the Emperor didnt want them to reproduce he wouldnt modify their reproductive system to pass on their modified genetics.
Best thing to do right now is really support the indie scene. There are tons of other great games like Vindictive the game or One Page rules that still let you use your 40K models but don't have lying executives making stupid decisions.
The only reason I buy any GW products now as expensive as they have become, is to support my local independent non GW store.
AHHHHH! Now I get it, they fight 3D printing by making the models so bad so no one want to 3D print them... Um, ok, well, don't ask me why... I am not crazy.
The business model fo GW for a long time has not been to carter to longtime fans and players.
Their target audience are 14 year old boys who buy one or two full armies, anything after that is bonus.
Thats the reason to rewrite core rule books every few years, release new army books, that often invalidate big parts of former armies, so "used" armies are not desireable on the secondhand market as models can not be used in newer versions.
Also the reason why apart from the two core games, many other good games they made were either shoved off to the Specialist Games division or just outright canceled after a few years.
Man, I wish GW was still mostly staffed by people who actually enjoyed both the hobby and the game side of their own products. Now we just have suits and activists attempting to burn everything down in record time.
That disappeared when they went public, no publicly traded corporation can stand against DEI/ESG funds.
Big difference between recasts and 3d prints. After a recast is cleaned up and painted it's going to be more difficult to detect it since it has all detail of official works. 3D printing shows print lines and people will not sand their entire models to insure all lines are gone. Way easier to detect.
Basic primer for plastics takes care of that issue except for faces. At least if the profile is correct, if its fucked ala you are doing something like printing at 70+ micron size and just as thick layers nothing will help, but thats like saying why doesnt the painjob look like Duncans when trying to use oil or watercolor out of the tub directly on hips.
Your last statement was really hitting the right strings Asmo. I don't even know if we need GW rules writing wise. On the KillTeam reddit, players themselves cook up so cool unofficial rules for teams GW should have released years ago, that it just blows my mind. Even the rules' visual formatting looks official! So you are right!
7:46 as a relatively new into the hobby of minis before all this shitshow happened. i was more than willing to cough up some money instead of going to 3d printers, as a matter of fact I had already spent a 1000bucks on them and was planning to spent more.
but now i'm going to completely avoid GW, I wouldn't even comeback if they came with an apology. it's way too late for that now.
1000 bucks? Can buy a decent 3d printer for that...
GW is multibillion corporation run like 3 guys in garage selling handmade board games in 1980's.
I also managed to get myself a gold medal on army on parade with a fully printed / recasted Death Korps army quite a few years ago haha
The movie will allow GW to go mainstream, compromise alll the lore in the worst way and CRUSH the funko pop market.
FUNKO POPS will ECLIPSE all warhammer model revenue in 2026.
I'm just honestly confused by the whole debacle and if I were an investor I would be PISSED.
This whole female custodes thing is lore only, were not getting new models so they're not even going to sell their main product, plastic miniatures to their main audience of Mostly Males (a good population with weaponized 'tism" (no offense.)) So what was the point of the tweet OTHER than to piss off the fans?
It just makes 0 sense as a company to let anyone get away with putting this forward in any kind of official capacity.
Amazing. Glad I kept my old rulebooks
Russian recasters will make you recast at the cost of 1/5 or 1/8 of the cost! You would never know underneath the paint. Especially the foreworld, unless you scratch the models to their base material from paint.
Based
I have only brought recasts for a few years no one ever notices
and I've been doing it because that's the only way to get OOP stuffs i wanted. Just yesterday i ordered Alberich Ludenhof
To those who think there is still hope for Geedubs: Look at the Sigmarines, Misters repentia and new inquisitor models. Intentionally ugly gender bender stuff. all of it
GW game stores was a brilliant move then they pulled out the rugg kicked out all other games and became aggressive salesmen pestering visitor's. Unless you are a new Player with a fat wallet and impulsive tendency they don't want you there. It's sad as i remember it being a fun place to hang out geek out with the employees and I'd often buy stuff to help out. Now I'd never step inside much less buy their stuff.
I have a 90% recast army and I play in their official local store on a regular basis. My second army has quite a few recasts as well. If they're painted up nicely as mine are, no one even thinks about it. The quality is generally the same and in a few cases, better than GW/Forge World. Picking one up and thinking you're going to tell them apart isn't true unless it is a bare plastic or resin piece.
I would argue that many recast/3d printed models can have even higher quality than GW's, especially today
I was just getting into the wargaming aspect of WH40k, and between the recent controversies and the cost of a combat patrol, I just bought a 3D printer. Going well so far.
HAHAHA oh man this made my day ❤ cheers Asmogan man 😂
That's hilarious ..shows the incompetence of those high up
lol I'm printing some wardog brigands right now...Nobody at my FLGS cares at all, I even talked to the owner.
Games can be played without a game company. Just take what is already out there and do your own thing.
This is the beginning of tabletop wargaming, not the end. Things are getting better and better! Not for GW, but who cares?
I feel like a lot of people forget the emperor is extremely sexist and for the lore that is a good thing
Saw this on Brandos channel and all I have to say is super based ha talk about how to sell a product right 😂
In my room I have to printer and on my laptop I have a mix of all MK armour for heresy, night lords files and vehicles
Check out the sponsons on the Leman Russes in the current issue too.
This man speaks truth
As much as the Adeptus Tampones suck they have really helped your channel pick up some steam.
I read the Imperial Herald article. It's better than anything GW has written in a decade.
Also we already have female Custodes, they are called the SISTERS OF SILENCE!
I must confess, I was up until recently been one of those loyal GW supporters. But my limit was reached and I have finally seen the contempt they have for those loalists. I have cancelled my white dwarf sub, Ive cancelled my warhammer tv sub (it was utter shite, but i kept supporting them hoping it would help it improve), I have now discovered freedom and its glorious....The recasts of forgeworld stuff i have bought are a much much higher quality than any of the official stuff. Ive spent thousands over the years on official stuff. After the last couple of weeks, i have removed my money stream from gw. Im fully recast and 3d printer from this point forward. Screw gw!
Since that Ultra army pic was in 2015 I'm not sure 3d prints were anywhere near as good as they are now, but recast is almost certainly as those have been around forever and, when you get into resin kits, are often better than Forgeworld resin.
Big thing with GW is they have had market dominance for so long because they provided everything, and 40k was ubiquitous. But they were reaching the limit even before this femstodes crap with ridiculous prices. I remember when a box of 10 marines was like $30, and even that was expensive. Now that same box is $50, and some boxes of 5 are inexplicably $60. For the price of a GW combat patrol you can get a full-size army for most other games, or at least a good chunk of one, not just the bare minimum needed to start playing the game in a simplified format.
You should see Australia pricing if you think $50 now is expensive, that product for 50 for you, is most likely 90+ for us Aussies.
They were recasts.
And in these days having the love of the fans is a strong thing... but I guess the greedy for the DEI money is far stronger...
I led the White Dwarf photography team 2012 - 2016. I’m doubtful they were all recasts. I don’t doubt there were quite a few in there as we were fallible as the next guy and missed stuff all the time. But all and I mean all on the eavy metal minis are essentially casts or 3d prints. Whereas the army painter armies (ones done by Peachy or Duncan) were usually plastic as they were quicker and needed less lead time. You could really tell the difference especially when you’re picking things up for photos. Great story probs not completely true.
So you’re the one who dropped my warhound then. I can tell you now, Miranda Irene was on my speed dial.
@@Modello40 Wasn’t me 😂 broken a lot of miniatures in my time. I sadly nuked the entire second edition eavy metal blood angels army but have never dropped a warhound 🤞
@@Majormore Dan messaged me “hey mate, one of the warhounds is in bits, and we don’t want to try and glue it back together. It’s been photographed though, so don’t worry”
Ooh. Defo wasn’t me but as probably one of the other photographers or Dan. At least you got fairly compensated…
Looking at the models, I prefer the one page guild dwarfs against the Votann.
At least they look like Dwarfs, rather than moon astronauts.
And they messed up the Votann lore, by making them clones, but still use female soldiers.
I am the type of person who would buy a 1000 point army, every 3rd edition, but these last years, have made me stop.
They almost brought me back, with the return of Squats, but the "warhammer is for everyone" made me hesitate, and with the last femstodies, I am not even buying the books.
Aside from 3D printing, another problem for GW is people buying vehicles and figures second hand from places like Ebay. Also, you have other manufacturers making great figures that could be used as Imperial Guard in 40K. When I got started in this thirty years ago these options did not exist. Unfortunately for GW the one thing they had going for them was the lore and they torpedoed that in the name of political correctness.
Remember when GW staff praising conversions and custom work was normal? When White Dwarf literally told you to make terrain using whatever the fuck you could get a hold of?
It's amazing how far they have fallen.
I was like "How is this racist?" Oh Recast.
Games Workshop is just a corprate machine a thin hollow shell of what they first were. Over time they have lost more and more of the fans loyalty. For me it was attacking warhammer creators then the woke message saying we aren't welcome. But it could of extended past that too. It continues to get worse and more woke by the day.
Video Starts at 10:00.
🤨
I just got 6 shroud runners for £25 at 8k resolution.
It's probably cheaper for American, commonwealth and European peeps to vpn themselves to buy at british prices and send to their home address 😂.
GW fks up yet again.... must be a day that ends in Y.
I do agree that gws minis are too expensive but 3d printing doesn’t look better than mold casted miniatures no matter how smooth they print
And that makes you a mindless consoomer.
You care more about some tiny detail on a mini than being bent over and railed by GW.
I am rather amused by this.
I'm not sure GW "owe" fans anything. Ultimately, they're a business that makes toy soldiers. Their purpose is to make money and, at the end of the day, they can do whatever they like with the lore or the products. They are just products in reality, and businesses will always try to protect their IP. While 3D printing and other unofficial means of getting miniatures has added a huge amount of additional depth to the hobby, it doesn't mean that GW is no longer necessary. The unofficial stuff is great for established hobbyists but, for newcomers, GW has the largest reach and biggest market presence, so there's a good chance that that's how they will find their way into the hobby. Many people will happily buy, paint and play exclusively with GW products, because they're (generally) good quality and widely available. There's nothing wrong with that, and it requires no psychosis. It's a hobby and people can enjoy it in a multitude of different ways.
They only "owe" anything to the fans if they want to keep said fans. It goes both ways.
@@matiashamalainen7965 their profits have been pretty good, revenue increased last year, which suggests that plenty of fans are happy
It is the wargaming hobby that has been around for over fifty years, and GW is just one tiny part of it.
Noone needs GW as a company.
Their stuff can easily be used without paying the company anything.
Thinking otherwise is just cope and seethe for daddy james.
@@justarandomname420 tiny part? GW is the biggest name in the business by miles. Even most people who use 3D prints and recasts generally still buy genuine stuff too. Not everything GW does is good, but you can't diminish their influence in the market. That's like suggesting that the phone market doesn't need Apple. It might be true on some level, but it ignores how much reach it has. They're not evil, they're just a business trying to make money. It's easy ultimately, people can just buy the stuff they like, read the books they like, play the games they like, and then just ignore anything they don't. It's just a game of toy soldiers, not a battle against some kind of malevolent force of corporate evil.
@@maximumattackrallying War gaming is so much bigger than GWs lil corner of the market.
Napoleonic wargaming has been going on for generations, for instance.
Nothing GW does is special. It is okay to be invested in ther IP and also admit that.
Fan love can definitely keep a game alive. Just look at Battletech, for example. That game should have died multiple times moving from multiple companies. Fan love kept it going, and now it's thriving and taking in a lot of 40K refugees
Its thriving? Have you seen the woke crap and controversies popping up?
Have you heard of Tex of Black Pants Legion fame, being torn apart because how dare he talk to Arch about 40K and minis.
Or what about the author getting cancelled because of a deranged 30 something fat bald man who pretends online to be a lesbian 19yo, who then got to have a story put out OFFICIALLY after all the crap went down?
BT has long since been infiltrated, now it is only true fans who will keep it going, but officially they went full woketard.
until they chip every mini... that would be hilariously stupid of them.
And also recast are not the same as 3d printed the models were “cast” which is why they look good. Unfortunately 3d printed can’t achieve the sharp edges and crisp corners or a mold casted mini
Their models are overpriced and have less details than the 3D printed stuff, I would buy GW if it was cheaper or similar price just to help out the local Warhammer shop since they've been good to me but I don't have 200+ bucks to spend on like two guys
GW 3d print as well
The fans have to suport the core. We dont get Dan Abbnet otherwise and ADB with out the GW company.
I would like to know what 3D printer was used to make some of these models but damn, this makes me want to invest in a 3D printer
