@SlimeKuro @d20_highroller @dr_fatass I dont understand your issues.

@Awennon @d20_highroller @dr_fatass No, that's totally stupid. Imagine you want to buy a box for a draft at your home. As a result, you have to buy it elsewhere. Or, if you buy a box before going to work, you might not have time to open it before your workday

A LGS in Melton Mowbray has implemented a policy that all boxes and card packs will be opened at the point of sale, in response to a gang of scalpers targeting their store.

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k Fuck you, you disrespectful slop muncher. The proportions of the models should have never change because making them "more realistic" brought in scum like you. Those proportions were a perfect deterrent and now fucking normie-ass slop eaters like you infested the hobby.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k Regardless. I suppose enjoy the hobby as you wish. Your paints are really nice. Shame you limit yourself to such crummy molds.

Ok, so let me explain, because some of you dumbfucks have no idea how GW operates. First of all, these are not preorders, they are presales. Preorders work like this: you order something before it’s produced, and the company manufactures it based on customer demand. For example, if a preorder is six months away, the company knows how much they can produce in that time. GW Made-to-order stuff works this way. With presales, production is already done. The moment you see “next week preorder,” the stuff was already produced 3 to 6 months before. GW bases production on data and produces anywhere from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of boxes. Keep in mind that GW has finite production capacity, they aren’t making one boxset every six months; they’re making many, and they also need to supply standard items that sell consistently, like basic Intercessors. When the "next week preorder" article drops, the product is allocated to stores. Stores already know the price before the preorder because they had to place their orders in advance. Usually, stores pay around 50% of MSRP. How many boxes a store gets depends on the store size, your relationship with GW, how close you are to the sales department, and probably the phase of the moon, because the same store might get 3 boxes in one preorder but 50 in the next, depending on underproduction or overproduction. By the time you can preorder, the store already has that stuff in stock, they just can’t sell it yet due to GW rules. Break those rules, and GW can terminate your deal, you get nothing. If your store’s sales rely on Warhammer, you’re fucked. GW also keeps some backup stock for LGS and their own stores in case of issues like missing sprues, damaged shipments, etc. But that stock is finite, they can’t just make more on the spot because the boxes and books are printed in China, and that takes time. So, to sum it up: if you see "sold out" on GW’s store or any LGS, it doesn’t automatically mean something is popular. It could, but it could also mean stores were undersupplied, GW underproduced, or scalpers bought it all. A few words about scalpers: GW doesn’t give a fuck. If it sells, they don’t care who bought it, unless there’s some backlash online. Then they implement half-assed protections that usually fuck over normal buyers, because scalpers find ways around them anyway. LGSs can scalp too, and it happens more often than you realize, they might only sell 5 boxes even if they got 30 and scalp the rest. So no, Custodes being sold out doesn’t automatically mean it’s popular.

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k You act like a fucked up psyho that tries to shove something down my throat so I respond accordingly. All primaris had to break lore in multiple ways to come into existence. I don't fucking care what unit that is and it's called like. It literally has the Eldar chest pecks armor.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k lol god dude you are genuinely acting like a child. Nothing is lore breaking here. Judiciars are Chaplains in training. Also saying their torso is like an elders is ridiculous. Do you know what Eldar torsos look like?

@OrthoTater Thanks!

@Awennon Looks great! Keep at it!

Life has been rough for the past two weeks but I'm back to working on my 1st Company Captain with 200% effort. The highlight of the gold came out extremely subtle but I'm satisfied with it.

@RazielTexan Thanks man.

@Awennon Hang in there, bud.

@AlexArmoury Lmao 🤣 Need a bit more to buy giant fans on the border to make sure the radiation clouds stay where they should.

@Awennon What if I give you 5 bucks to not use your AA that one time

Bitte.

@ChaosScrapLord I used a WH fantasy troll head to represent him 😆 funny how much it worked for that.

@Awennon Mecha-gobbo!

Getting over a sinus cold, so I'm having fun creating a Steel Legion Regiment badge and nickname for the army project.

@ChaosScrapLord Thanks! Invented for a fan-made character called Snotius. He was the 1st snotling of his tribe. He constantly fought and never stopped growing so he managed to become da Boss of the tribe. I painted the icon on the hatch of the turret of the model I painted of him.

@Awennon Best Gobbo icon I have seen xD

@m3tr0n01d I can never look at a Custoded dred and not think of Santodes...

As I am preparing the Galatus and the Achillus for assembly I couldn't help but notice the range of motion they have and how magnetization was included in their design. Compare that to the redesign and it's 1 step forward 2 steps back.

@ReviewsPossum I haven't had a single cup of coffee my entire life. People are really surprised when I say that. But it's easy to explain how I managed it.

You're still tired after getting eight hours of sleep because you've made yourself dependent on caffeine.

@DK_Able Imo she a 4/10. He is correctly seen as 7/10.

They are both 7.5s

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k Disgusting knee-fender, stupid additional unnecessary plate wearing, eldar chest copying, ridiculous helmet ear slope having heretical lore breaking SLOP. Makes me want to vomit.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k “I won’t play with strangers” then that’s entirely on you my man. It’s fun. It’s great especially when you find a guy who is also fun to play with. Which yes you absolutely can. Like fuck dude the Judiciar is right here.

@AndrewZ24597481 @ZE_DENZEL My favourite guard regiment.

Mordian Iron Guard

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k My eyes hurt from rolling them. No. Firstyl people are not interested in playing anything besides "current thing" and I won't play with strangers. Secondly get your head around the idea that one can pick and choose the aspects of the IP they engage with. I don't care for TT.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k Dude you can quite literally play any edition of 40K without buying a single book. All of the information can be found online. How do you think I tried 7th?

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k Because it is. Why would I WANT to touch shit when I hear and see it's shit? Do YOU ignore warnings? Or do you stick a fork into an electric socket because you simply NEED to know for yourself? You want a clap for it? All this tells me is that you consume and don't think.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k Dude you are the one saying anything past 6th is dog shit. You haven’t even touched the game. I have books, I have listened to audio books, I have painted, collected models, read my codex lore of just about every army I have. Hell I play FIST. The worse SM faction for the game.

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k It depends what one values. I value freedom and a greater ability to customise without a hassle. I dont hive a fuck about "more realistic proportions" and "better poses" are meaningless when a squad has TWO models with the exact same pose due to the limitations put on them.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k I don’t really give a damn if someone likes “inferior” models. Tac squad is still a good sculpt. Older models are still nice, but to say they are better than newer models is incredibly insane. It’s like saying Centurions suck when they are probably the best model.

@MCaterpillow @Chainsword40k Ffs... the table top game is not ALL that 40k is. Have the codexes changes so much that the first half of them isn't lore? Do you have any idea how much there is to 40k besides the table top game? Your mentality is so goddamn bizzare to me.

@Awennon @Chainsword40k It’s superior if you value simulated war gaming. If you are someone who genuinely enjoys simulated table top games then go buck wild dude. That’s your game. Pick up Bolt Action, or Black Sea. Also if you haven’t played the game. How can you judge it?
